    Default Tory MP killed in knife attack

    Not yet officially confirmed (probably in the next hour), but Southend MP David Amess was killed in a knife attack at his constituency surgery.

    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.

    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.
