Sir David Amess, a staunchly pro-life member of the UK parliament has died after being repeatedly stabbed at a routine meeting with constituents. Sir David was a Tory with more than 30 years of service in the House of Commons. In addition to his firm opposition to abortion, he also was a euro-skeptic and supporter of Brexit, a supporter of the reintroduction of capital punishment and a fierce opponent of cruelty to animals. As of this post there has been no indication of the motive behind the attack beyond a statement from the police that a man has been arrested on suspicion of murder. Sir David is survived by his wife and five children. He has been described as a devout Roman Catholic.
Memory eternal.
Update: The police are now confirming this was a terrorist act.

He was stabbed to death by a 25-yr old Somali Muslim. Islam prohibits abortion after the first trimester and I assume has no views one way or the other on Brexit.
Amess supported refugee and asylum claims. Ironic, no?
