78-year-old Ann Widdecombe was a well-known conservative in British politics. She was a staunch defender of free speech, a direct opponent to leftist cultural Marxism and an advocate for the commonsense Reform Party. Widdecombe was against abortion, gay rights, transgender advocacy and wokism writ large.
Ms. Widdecombe was beaten to death in her home Wednesday July 8th around 12:30pm by an assailant who drove 270 miles to kill her. Immediately the police said her murder was not politically motivated and not connected to foreign or domestic terrorism.
Despite the credulous claim that her brutal murder was not political in nature, the reality was her murderer drove over five hours to kill her. This was an obvious premeditated, calculated and targeted murder. However, the politically correct leftist media and political institutions within U.K. government, were desperate in trying to deny the obvious.
Yesterday, the British Counterterrorism Police took over the investigation. “Shabana Mahmood, the home secretary, said that as a result of “new information and evidence,” specialist counterterrorism officers were “now leading on the investigation into the horrific murder.”” {citation}
Today, it is admitted that her killer had a library of communist and Marxist ideology.
(DAILY MAIL) – […] Yesterday the probe was taken over by Counterterrorism Policing South East which announced the suspect had been re-arrested on suspicion of commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism.
The suspect, who remains in custody, was the son of a teaching assistant. Relatives said he had become reclusive after the sudden death of his engineer father last year.
[…] In a dramatic escalation, counter terrorism officers yesterday took over the investigation into the killing of the former Tory minister. It came after the discovery of Russian communist literature and other items of political ideology at the home of the suspected killer.
[…] Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood confirmed yesterday that the British white suspect, who the Mail is not naming, was not known to the Government’s deradicalisation programme, Prevent. Police are making inquiries about his mental health. (more)
Leftism is a violently dangerous ideology.
Those who believe in Diversity, Equity, Inclusion as well as cultural rights and genderisms are intolerant in the extreme. Their ideological arguments do not stand up against scrutiny, natural laws or historic outcomes. As a result, their emotions drive the internal sense of self-hate outward to attack others. These are deeply disturbed, emotionally unstable people.
Democrats, Socialists, Communists writ large are extremely dangerous once they achieve power.
The larger the population they control or target, the larger the killing field.
It’s always the the leftist extremists, fanatical progressives who kill their political opponents.
Yet, the leftist media propagates that the real danger are well behaved conservatives.
Leftist projection as confession.
I think we should stop being well behaved, and supply them with a dose of their own medicine. Now is not the time, but eventually we will need to stop being tolerant of their intolerance. There is no compromise with the likes of these people, they want us gone so they can thrive unopposed.
Communists, socialists and muslims kill their opponents. It doesn’t matter if the difference it political or religious, the outcome is the same. It’s easier to take over when you outnumber your opponents and the best way to insure that is to kill them. Just ask them, they freely admit it.
Leftists in the U.K. = Leftists in the U.S.A.
Thery are all the same in every country.
Far-left extremist? Just say leftist, because all leftists are violent extremists, and if they’re not, then they’re covering for extremists. Leftists cannot be trusted–at all.
ahhh.,, those pesky English relatives.
If not for those pesky relatives blabbering about his literature and stated motives, I assume this narrative would be quite different.
Cat was out of the bag, so they had to start “an investigation” to prevent the natives from getting restless.
“Shabana Mahmood, the home secretary”. That doesn’t sound good either. I’m surprised any investigation at all was conducted.
SD said you can’t outwork leftists because they’re insane, have insane energy, and will work 24/7 at politics–which is all true.
God can.
Fight, fight, fight and never give up.
President Trump was saved by God for this time.
once they figured he drove 270 miles it was a targeted crime, contrary to the media reports the day of… Leftists media.
He was just out for a leisurely drive when all of a sudden…………..
Any time the British police at any level send in specialist officers it’s for a cover up.
Any rotten muslim involved in politics or proper “police enforcement” insures that “sharia law” will be applied in some form.
With a name like Mahmood, what could possibly go wrong?
Shabana Mahmood is quite interesting to watch in Parlement. She is conservative.
ALL moslems will do and say anything to gain power. Once they have it however, they will do what they always do, dominate. It has happened here with Labour and now they are doing it with the Greens, and you have your own experience of it in Hammtramck.
The Russians used to call those who supported the Soviets in the west “useful idiots”, and that is what Labour and the Greens are.
Don’t worry, Shabana has told us she is driven by her moslem faith in everything she does……
Was thinking it, and you said it.
All Commonwealth Countries are dead to me.
We’re now supposed to say that the French World Cup is French. Remember some obviously non-Swedish player on the Swedish team, and we were all supposed to say he was Swedish. The globalist homogeneity of the commonwealth countries is a death sentence because there’s no incentive to be excellent.
I get what you’re saying. I was quite annoyed the very few Swiss cuties didn’t get enough playing time 😁.
Was also very sad to see Norway get knocked out… compared to the other teams, they most looked the part.
Read an article on the French player Mbappe in Vanity Fair, which used to be good, but I’m slowly realizing no longer is. Half the article was about how French he was, half was about those who say he isn’t are ray-cyst, and the other half was about how rich and famous he is. It was nauseating.
I had a subscription to both Vanity Fair and Esquire. I stopped both about the time obama took office. They, along with National Geographic became woke, and started pushing nonsense.
I, too, had a subscription to National Geographic for about 15 years until they went woke. The transformation from traveling the world and exploring unique cultures and geological places to exploring DEI everywhere and in everything was nauseating, to say the least.
Upon realizing what they were doing, I sent them a farewell letter canceling my lengthy subscription (they didn’t care) and never looked back. Hopefully, they took a hard hit financially because I’m sure that I was not the only one to drop them like a hot potato.
I am hoping Argentina beats the UK
Me too!
Oh Charlotte, be careful be very careful.
England is not the UK.
The Scottish, Welsh, and Northern Ireland international football/soccer teams would be delighted if England loose.
Not to me. We were one small step from Kamala and Walz. Praying for revival!
Let’s hope their nukes are as operable as their Navy.

Thanks for the picture of that woman holding a sign. At some point it could help me protect my family. I am very tired of this kind of ridiculous stupidity on the part of young people. I feel bad for them because they were taught a steady diet of collectivist claptrap throughout their K-12 education, but I see several great dangers in this type of brainwashed bulls**t. Let’s hope we never have to see the end result of commie crap in our country.
The net result of it is always mass killings of members of the working classes. Stalin murdered over 10 million Russians. Mostly they were people who did not like to be forced to do whatever he decided they should be doing. Some were even supporters who didn’t show enough fealty towards that sob. Chairman Mao may have even murdered more than Stalin. The Cambodians murdered 4 million of their own people and nobody has even figured out why. Chavez and Maduro destroyed the best economy in South America and murdered anyone who stepped in their way. This is the ultimate solution for keeping power by every Communist dictator who has ever been made “Dear Leader”! It is and has always been
Remember when I found out that the Polish communists murdered Jerzy Popiełuszko—by accident. I couldn’t believe the communists did that, but I’ve come to accept it as a general feature of leftism. Remember how crazy the leftists were when Kyle Rittenhouse defended himself from ‘mostly peaceful” leftists who were trying to murder him?
Oh, how that annoyed me. Leftists seem to think that Kyle should’ve let the guy shoot him first, as if being on the ground with a gun pointed at his head wasn’t enough justification! 😡
That was no accident. It was the second of two assasination attempts. He was beaten to a pulp, bound and possibly strangled with ropes and thrown into the Vistula.
And I don’t see the pictured “Communist sign carrier” (and her Communist cohorts) surviving a real Communist dictatorship.
The useful idiots will always be the first to purge.
The useful idiots will always be the first to be purged.
Most revolutions appear to evolve through the same steps: “comrades” until the “victory” then “purges and pogroms” until “power is solidified” in a single or small group of factions; more “purges and pogroms”.
Consider the demonrat party today, the CCP, Russia following the Revolution, Nazi Germany, the French Revolution (happy Bastille Day), … The American Revolution 1790s through 1850s until the “civil war” had to become kinetic.
Pol Pot would kill them all.
Communism! Because 100 million dead wasn’t enough!!
Communists argued forever that wasn’t true! Until forces to admit that it was, but it didn’t matter because–some reason. Oh yeah, true socialism has not yet been attempted!
My 6th grade civics teacher once said something I remember to this day…”Communism is the purest, most perfect form of government ever imagined by man. The problem is that man is not pure, nor perfect.”
Just purging the excess they say… Gaia is thankful.
“All the other communists did it wrong, this time it’ll work…….swear.”
Every communist’s mantra
What I remember most about the Cambodian communists’ murders of Cambodian people is that they searched out the people who wore glasses, supposing they could READ, and that was enough to kill them.
It will be a case of poor mental health, the go-to Statist obscurant that’s deployed whenever a politically inconvenient and shibboleth defying reality brutally descends.
Then, if anyone persists in pointing out the obvious they will make a blanket appeal for ALL sides to be careful about inflammatory rhetoric then, when it’s pointed out only one side regularly indulges in such inflammatory language and encourages their supporters to take violent action, you’re:
A. a racist
B. a right-wing conspiracy theorist
C. A nazi
D. all of the above.
You forgot transgender.
Oh wait….My bad. They would move heaven and earth to never disclose that.

Nailed it!
Mental health is a symptom of Leftism.
Mental illness is a symptom of leftism.
It may be an overly used cliche phrase, but my thought after seeing the two photos accompanying the article is, “We’re not going to be able to vote our way out of this.”
I hope I’m wrong.
Voting is a theoretical placeholder for civil war. Once it’s considered ineffective the kinetic step is ready and waiting. We’re at that threshold.
We will see if that is true if the Save Act is ever passed.
Passed, but then the hurdle of actually being adhered to by the states. They sure strictly adhere to President Trump’s transgender Executive Order, and Supreme Court rulings, don’t they?? (wink wink)
Leftists aren’t capable of accepting American ideals; their minds are beyond depraved, completely lost in hate. Good and evil won’t be able to live together much longer. God bless the Americans.
It is said the those on the right think those on the left are misguided, whereas those on the left think those on the right are evil.
Gotta blame the Russians and Putler for the attack. “ It came after the discovery of Russian communist literature and other items of political ideology at the home of the suspected killer.”
News to me that Russia is a communist nation.
“They” can’t quite shake that particular bogey man trope vs their very own Labour-leftist communist government. Where’s that MI6 guy, Steele? Need new dossier on aisle 5!
Just another reminder of why our second amendment is so vital.
How many former communists have consequences after they are driven from power?
Pol Pot faced internal house arrest and a show trial by his own faction, but he never faced an international court or legal punishment for his genocide before dying.
He was never handed over to an international tribunal or tried by a court of law for the mass murder of millions of Cambodians.
Those who create such monsters also control their demise
Ann always was a conviction politician, one of the very few we have left here.
Her final interview took place last Wednesday on the Talk Radio breakfast show. I listened to it as it happened. She was always unapologetically fearless when voicing her opinions.
During that interview Ann made several comments relating to the recent (and ongoing) despicable treatment of Nigel Farage by the UK uniparty and its assorted mouthpieces. Those comments suggest to me that her murder was carried out as a direct warning to Mr, Farage and, more widely, the members and supporters of Reform UK. There is no way on earth that Ann’s murder was not a political hit job.
The behaviour of Devon and Cornwall police has been abysmal. They were very quick to point out that both the initial and the current suspect are ‘white nationals’. Contrast that to the murder of the three young girls in Southport two years ago, where the nationality of the perp was initially withheld until it came out that he was a British national of foreign descent.
The police were equally quick to insist that Ann’s murder was ‘neither political nor a terrorist attack’, while in the same breath stating that they were ‘keeping an open mind’. Those two statements cannot co-exist in the same sentence.
Ann was one of a kind and her demise further diminishes the power of what little freedom of speech we have left in the UK.
Thank you for sharing your insight. We understand that your countrymen are under siege. God help you!!
She was.
She will be missed.
Perfect, ma’am.
Thank you.

Britain was the home of my heart for twenty years.. I am grieved and horrified to see its descent into madness, SI.
I have always wanted to visit the UK but I guess I’ll have to uncheck that box from my bucket list. 😫
Far be it for me to dissuade, WD. If you’ve never been, you’ll have no memories to compare it to. There are many places to travel where there is so much physical beauty to see and be in awe of. If you do your research, you could map out a lovely journey still I think.
Literally, in your case. Your instinct for conjuring up the perfect meme or quote hasn’t gone unnoticed from my distant branch.
I’m aware of your long-standing ties to my country from my years of reading here.
If you, or anyone else here haven’t seen it, here’s the interview with Ann referenced in my original post.
You are truly kind. Thank you. I know I have waxed lyrical, probably too much. But my memories are precious and enduring, as are the friends I made whom I miss. I am grateful you’ve posted this interview which I had not heard.
I’m still having trouble accepting she has gone in such a brutal way.
Thank you.
(I hope you’ll comment more, SI. A resident of this Tree knows no borders.)
This interviewer sounds just like an American leftist.
Thats not all
Gibraltar ‘surrender’ deal sparks fury as MPs warn on the British territory next in line
Opposition MPs have accused ministers of weakening Britain’s position overseas after a Gibraltar deal removed border barriers with Spain and sparked warnings.
https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/2229228/gibraltar-surrender-deal-falklands-sovereignty-warning
I believe that the investigators knew from the get go her murder was political. They deliberately slow walked the information to control the public outrage.
I agree that that is a distinct possibility.
Given the time we are in, one could even go a step further and suggest that the investigators had prior knowledge that the murder was going to happen, thereby giving them time to lay the foundations of their response.
That would be stretching matters a little too far now, wouldn’t it?
We live in a wicked world…
No, not too far.
Though I consider it a pretty rotten state of affairs that such a thing would even see daylight.
Evil will always destroy, it doesn’t have the ability to create.
We’re still in the early phase of this.
Stand with God and he will guide us through this.
The entire white British people are slowly being eliminated by the left. This lady was just done in quickly.
A form of citizen vigilante justice is in order. Citizens take action.
The Star Chamber.
The Communist/Marxist/ Muslim Brotherhood must be annihilated!
Yes. Perhaps Trump will finally get to those who fund them all.

Liberals are aligned with satanic left wing politics because of a dark character defect, not because of a misguided attempt to engage in virtue or honor. A person does not become evil because they believe in left wing politics – they embrace left wing politics BECAUSE they have a darkened evil heart. The character of a liberal is formed and defined, first by deception, then, by evil intent. The liberal is devoid of self assurance and self confidence, therefore, is obsessed with forcing an acquiescence, a consent, a validation of its craving for depravity and disorder. It views criticism and opposition to its craven predilections as not just offensive disagreement to be countered but, rather, an existential threat. This is why everyone who aligns with left wing ideology must be regarded as unstable with a propensity for a slide into mental disorder. We must continue to try to love our liberal family members and friends and neighbors but it is increasingly wise to be extremely vigilant for the signs of derangement.

I’ve seen what cops in the US classify as “White” so Im waiting for a name. Im not expecting a Patrick O’Reilly, or a Joe Jones or a Lars Birkeland
So, not like I’m keeping score, but I think the Conservative kill number is still at 0, whereas the commie-pinko number is at least in the 5 digits. If I’m wrong, it may be 6 digits….
“… after the discovery of Russian communist literature…”
As opposed to domestic Labour Communist literature?
or just a shot at Putin? Which would make the statement itself a kind of Commie propaganda.
Solzhenitsyn and Putin ~ The Imaginative Conservative:
“… At the beginning of August 2007, barely a week after Der Spiegel had published the interview with Solzhenitsyn, during which he had made reference to the Christian martyrs killed at the hands of the communists at the Butovo cemetery outside Moscow, the Russian Orthodox Church sponsored a commemoration of these very martyrs at the cemetery itself. President Putin and his government were conspicuous by their absence at the event, a fact for which they were roundly condemned in the Russian press. Three months later, in an apparent act of penance for his earlier sin of omission (if one can use such language about the motives and actions of politicians), President Putin visited Butovo and issued a statement about the evils of ideology and about the millions who had perished at the hands of the communist regime. On the same day the Orthodox Church canonized hundreds of victims of communism.
Solzhenitsyn died on August 3, 2008, a few months short of his 90th birthday. Only two weeks later, it was announced that Moscow’s Great Communist Street (ulitsa Bolshaya Kommunisticheskaya) was to be re-named “Alexander Solzhenitsyn Street”,[viii] an honour bestowed by a personal decree from President Putin.
On the first anniversary of Solzhenitsyn’s death, Vladimir Putin sent a telegram to Solzhenitsyn’s widow in which he described Solzhenitsyn as “a global individual, whose creative and ideological heritage will always hold a special place in the history of Russian literature and in the chronicles of our country”.
In October 2010, it was announced that The Gulag Archipelago would become required reading for all Russian high school students. In a meeting with Solzhenitsyn’s widow, Putin described The Gulag Archipelago as “essential reading”: “”Without the knowledge of that book, we would lack a full understanding of our country and it would be difficult for us to think about the future.”” …….
Rest in the Vine: “Solzhenitsyn Predicted America’s Current Plight in 1983”-Emerald Robinson
I see you didn’t mention the religion ethnicity of the communists who massacred Christian martyrs at the Butovo cemetery
Same religious ethnic group that provides about 90 percent of donations to the democrats and funds and litigates every anti Trump anti White American lawsuit
The perpetrators of the Butovo massacres were members of the Soviet secret police, the NKVD (People’s Commissariat for Internal Affairs). Operating under Joseph Stalin’s regime during the “Great Purge” of 1937–1938, the executioners were driven by state atheism—the official, enforced ideology of the Communist Party
>> “In October 2010, it was announced that The Gulag Archipelago would become required reading for all Russian high school students. In a meeting with Solzhenitsyn’s widow, Putin described The Gulag Archipelago as “essential reading”.
The Gulag Archipelago should become required reading for all US high schools as well. However, it is highly doubtful that even half of High School seniors would be up to reading and fully comprehending the first chapter, especially after years of standard communist propaganda and instuction.
As long as they could blame Russia, somehow, they could then change the story.
FILTHY LIBERALS
Agree, but once you’ve been ABUSED by Dirty Cops, and you see the corrupt direction they are given, it is hard to not see them as the Government Enforcers of Policy, not Law.
Too many “Good” Cops tolerate Dirty Cops.
Cops should be treated like Canadian Construction Trades. We have an entire Army of Inspectors and pop up visits.
Cops don’t deal with ANY oversight compared to us Trades. They freak out when you stand on a Public Sidewalk taking photos.
“Too many “Good” Cops tolerate Dirty Cops.” Exactly! A massive problem, imo.
“Those who believe in Diversity, Equity, Inclusion as well as cultural rights and genderisms are intolerant in the extreme. Their ideological arguments do not stand up against scrutiny, natural laws or historic outcomes. As a result, their emotions drive the internal sense of self-hate outward to attack others. These are deeply disturbed, emotionally unstable people.”
Exactly, thank you Sundance.
“The suspect, who remains in custody, was the son of a teaching assistant.”
Not only is the vast (and by vast I mean 99.9%) of contemporary political violence committed by leftists, it is committed by the children of leftists who are members of the professional managerial and administrative class.
This is not a new phenomena. Contrary to the myths of public memory, the NSDAP had a broad appeal to the German middle and professional classes. Its behavior was thuggish, but its members were not thugs. The Nazi Party was full of doctors, lawyers, and other professional men who first helped the party take over German society and culture and then ran Hitler’s empire.
As dangerous as the toleration of politician violence among the professional classes in the contemporary West is, what it portends for future is even worse.
I wouldn’t call a teaching assistant a member of the professional and managerial classes. Especially as they lived in Rotherham. The British equivalent of Memphis Oakland Ca Philadelphia Chicago south side. Demographic are a bit different Pakistani criminals on generational welfare instead of American black criminals on generational welfare.
If you believe teaching assistants are professional and managerial………………..
Katie Hopkins needs to have security.
Per Britannica:
Khmer Rouge, radical communist movement that ruled Cambodia from 1975 to 1979 after winning power through a guerrilla war. It was purportedly set up in 1967 as the armed wing of the Communist Party of Kampuchea. The Khmer Rouge government under Pol Pot was responsible for the Cambodian genocide (1975–79), during which an estimated 1.5 million to 3 million people—approximately one quarter of the country’s population—died as a result of executions, forced labor, starvation, and disease.
Executions took place at local sites that came to be known as “killing fields.” To conserve ammunition, Khmer Rouge soldiers were often instructed to kill victims with farm tools such as pickaxes. Infants were routinely beaten to death against trees.
“Democrats, Socialists, Communists writ large are extremely dangerous once they achieve power.”
So true Sundance, and indisputable.

Noooooo. I am shocked.
White Briton’s and Russian communist literature…
Actually, said literature was Jewish..
Government directed murder.
Note that the Home Secretary specified “Russian” communist literature. The woke UK elite, who are obsessed with the Russian “threat” and enthusiastically support Ukraine and the continuation of the war there, have to shout “Russia, Russia” at every opportunity. Also, by specifying “Russian” re the communist literature they deflect attention from the internal leftist threat.
When Leftists riot why don’t we just spray them with RoundUp or some other weed defoliant? De-radicalization is not much different.
It took the nation’s top specialists… to admit the obvious.
This now getting silly.
