in talking about jo cox in 2016, you mentioned this was not the first to be killed this way. in 2010, another mp was killed in meeting with voters in a similar circumstance although he survived. there is a concern about how things can continue. it is not just the violent events, the out course of the mood and events that are parts of an mp's daily life. it is a core part of their job which is meeting the people that they represent intimately, one on one spending time and listening to them. a key dynamic and core pillar of how democracy works in this country. even before the death of david amos, there was concerns about prioritizing accessibility is perhaps out of date and unsafe. we are hearing promises to address this and it does seem a tipping point has been reached. in the event that that happens, it will ultimately be viewed as a diminishing british democracy. >> your right to point out about everything going on online. we've heard about abuse and threats they get on a consistent basis. >> thank you to you both. >>> the murder of jo cox we were talking about shocked the u

it's very sad situation seen who, 5 years after killing of jo cox. why should it come to one of our elected officials being murdered for the government? start taking this seriously. this the 2nd time now, 5 years ago when joe cox's murdered by member of the far right group, britain 1st. we didn't prescribe that group. we didn't ban that group. we didn't ban any affiliate organizations. everything was allowed to flourish. i think inevitably, the home secretary's already spoken out. they're going to look at some of these things, whether that's how you are a, you're an online profile, how your online persona is carried out. should there be ip address link? should be people forced to come clean about how you look online, but of course, further questions need to be asked. how was this a young man allowed to go to a constituency miles from where he lives? not in his residential area. why the police investigating his childhood home, where he lived a decade ago in south london? and they're trying to piece together storyline, which i didn't quite understand.

that have been learnt over recent years following the appalling murder of ourformer dear colleague, jo coxo. those measures are always under review. there is a review that is under way, has been under way in the last 2a hours. there is direct communication is taking place right now, took place yesterday, as well, with mps. all 600 plus mps as to their whereabouts, what they are doing in their constituencies to make sure that they are protected so that they can go around serving their constituencies in that open way, but in a safe way. it is important that that continues. but how do you balance safety with the democratic process of allowing voters to meet their mps? it can be balanced. it can absolutely be balanced, and it has been balanced, as well, through all the policing measures that have been put in place. there are measures in terms of policing, there are also measures that we have to undertake, as well, we take upon ourselves to protect ourselves in terms of surgeries, going around your constituency with those that know where you are going within policing, for example. so there are

of parliament in britain, especially considering the really chilling similarities to the murder of jo cox who was stopped on short to death back in 2016 again, that was just before her very own constituency surgery meeting. it's also really sad to know that said david, a mrs. last tweet was actually talking about this constituency surgery invitation, saying to the local community to com and chat to him face to face for, for many m p.

i was at a large, a formal event in the city of london in june 2016 on the day that jo cox died in the event was got all to a close, early by the lord mayor of london saying in ringing times, this was never happened again that and here we are now a short time later we've got to give more security to our members of parliament. but we also, i think, got to change the way that we speak about them. day to day. we still talk about our politicians as if they are some of the worst people on earth and thing about so david is that he was one of the best. i've really got to know him because it every he was saint saint part of the country as me and every constituency fundraiser he'd be there, he'd be helping people to raise money for a cause or raise money for a party. he'd want to draw the raffle. he'd want to do the auction. he loved doug shouting the lot. he's just an incredibly decent guy. i actually can't leave that this has happened. and he's the antithesis of any sort of a stereotype of the ambitious politician trying to be on the make or make their way . he cared so much about his constit
