It would take a heart of stone…
The husband of murdered MP Jo Cox, Brendan Cox, has quit two charities he set up in her memory after allegations of sexual assault were made public.
Mr Cox denied assaulting a woman in her 30s at Harvard University in 2015 – but admitted to “inappropriate” behaviour while working for Save the Children.
These, remember, are “the good guys.” It is at moments like this I step back and consider how they have lectured us from their pulpit built on sanctimonious self-righteousness and look upon the mighty now that they have tripped over their feet of clay and ask myself if I can spare a charitable thought for them.
The answer to that one is “no.” Brendan Cox always struck me as a nasty piece of work. Most people upon having their wife murdered would grieve in private and stay out of the glare of the media, but not this self-serving piece of shit. Oh, no, he used her death as a launchpad for his fifteen minutes and, like the rest of the self-righteous, sanctimonious left, he saw fit to lecture the rest of us.
Perhaps now he will piss off and not disturb us again.
The older I get the more I realise that those who get up on their high horse and lecture the rest of us on morality are doing nothing but projecting their own failings onto others rather than face them themselves. Its why the Left is so hypocritical – it projects the attitudes it cannot accept about itself onto its opponents.
There’s also something deeply repugnant about a man who uses his wife’s murder to launch a celebrity career.
…and wasn’t he also on the Geldof boat that sneered at the fishermen on the Thames who were going to vote for Brexit?
I think he was on a separate small boat with Jo to start with, plus their children. All very odious.
There’s an interesting example of that with Peter Newell, who campaigned long and hard and successfully against corporal punishment in schools throughout the sixties. Just been convicted of historic sex abuse also from the sixties.
How much did he get paid by these charities’. The normal thing for socialists is to set up a charity, and take one of the top paid positions. A nice little earner. Any money left over may go to good causes, but that is often not very much.
That appears to be what he did. However, I don’t know what the sums were.
And tonight on C4 News we have the obnoxious Angela Raynor in the studio, scrabbling round for any mitigation and excuse for this man’s “mistakes”.
And I thought #MeToo was supposed to be about never accepting abuse of women by anyone ever again. According to Raynor not if he’s one of your mates…
And they wonder why the public mostly abhor politicians. Well Angela Raynor your just gave us all another display.
No. it’s about not accepting abuse by nasty right wingers. When it’s a lefty it’s different because reasons.
A long while ago, I came to the conclusion that the nearer the person was to the church, the further away from God they were. The holier than thou attitude masked an interfering and hypocritical nature.
This is no different in concept, though slightly different in execution.
