RIP to the MP. Seems like a good bloke too according to what the news was saying today.

Four stage strategy from Yes, Minister:
Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.
Horrible event. This kind of political violence almost never begets anything good.

"The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule." -- H. L. Mencken
There was also the bow-and-arrow mass killing in kongsberg, Norway around the same time.
Vitiate Man.

WTF. Southend, the constituency of the MP, is to be given city status in his honour. Other than Tory angling for political gain, I'm not sure how it merits that status.
