      He supported austerity polices that ruined many working class people's lives and killed many working class people. His party were responsible for even more deaths due to government failings during this lethal pandemic, whilst they profitted from the same pandemic. He was a parasitical low life.
      No doubt the media are currently portraying him as some kind of holy saint or martyr and all round good egg and his death will be used to push through even more much wanted fascistic legislation by the mass murdering right, supported ofcourse by the majority of the Labour party. Facts don't care about your feelings.

    Rest in Peace Sir David Amess, a truly remarkable and deeply humble and upstanding gentleman, a true and genuine man of the people!
    My sincere undivided deepest condolences to all of Sir David's family & close friends and to those who have worked with Sir David over the years regardless of one's political beliefs and background! The truth is unequivocally prevailing right before our very eyes which only reinforces Sir David's argument albeit which is a very sensitive and controversial one in the face of growing apathy of moral discontent fuelled by foreboding spiritual decay within society that is imposed against one's good empathic nature sadly!
    May he Rest in Peace and may his words never be forgot!
    RIP 🕊
    Sir David Anthony Andrew Amess

Give back what you unlawfully take and pay up for what was forgone while you had it in stolen possession, else ask forgiveness. But if neither, then have it collected from you through force to meet justice's demands. Hang if you cannot return a life you willfully took from another.

    Modern Medical Science & Incredible Decision of Imam Ali (a.s):
    1400 years ago, two women gave a birth to babies, a son and a daughter. Each of these two women claimed that the son was theirs. Back then, there wasn't really any birth certificate, no pictures to prove, there was no DNA testing facility, no hospital. Imam Ali (Chief Justice of the Islamic State) came up with a miraculous way to discover who's right. Imam Ali told them to get some breast milk from these two mothers. Put in a cup and weigh it. One that's heavier, she has the son, and one that's lighter has the daughter. You could say how did they come up with this? Milk is milk. What does it have to do with milk? there was no modern characterization instrumental technique, no liquid chromatography, no HPLC, no ICP, no Ion selective electrode, no EDX, no titration method. 🤔 How Imam Ali knows that one milk should be more viscous hence more thicker?
    14 centuries later, scientists at Michigan State University analyzed the milk of mothers who gave birth to sons and one who gave birth to daughters. They researched many women all the way from Kenya to Massachusetts, and the result was consistent. They discovered that the composition of milk is different.
    For example, milk of women who gave birth to boys have a higher amount of fats and protein. 2.6% percent fat in that milk. Whereas, milk of women who gave birth to daughters have 0.6% fat. How did Imam Ali know it 14 centuries ago that one milk has more protein and fat, hence more dense than others?😮 Isn't it a miracle from the Imam Ali and his genius way of determining the truth?

      In 327, Constantine, known as Emperor of Rome, ordered Jerome to translate the Vulgate version into Latin, changing Hebrew first names and tampering with scripture.
      In 431, worship of VIRGEM was invented.
      In 594 PURGATORY was invented.
      In 610, the title of the Pope was invented.
      In 788, the worship of pagan deities is imposed.

      In 1079, priests celibacy is imposed >> a totally Catholic word.
      In 1090, the Rosary was imposed.
      In 1184, the Inquisition was perpetrated.
      In 1190 indulgences are sold.
      In 1215, confession was imposed on priests.
      In 1216, the tale of Pope Innocent III about the terror of bread (a god in Greek mythology), which turns into human flesh, was invented.
      In 1311, the batesimo prevailed.
      In 1439, the non-existent PURGATORY was dogmatized.
      In 1854, the Immaculate Conception was invented.
      In 1870, the absurdity of an infallible pope was imposed, in which the concept of hiring was invented
      There are more than 2500 things invented by this religion to enslave humans with Christianity...
      Religions and their Gods were created as a means of MANIPULATION and BUSINESS. As part of the EVOLUTION of humans is the FREEDOM of those means of manipulation. Although humans are slowly in the era of AWAKENING, each day young people are LESS RELIGIOUS for two more generations and the Catholic religion will be in decline. (I wish to see that moment)

    because his government is North Korea's "religion." He is their "God." Who cares if he sends entire families to concentration camps? Who cares if he cuts off their communication to a huge, diverse world? Who cares if he starves children to death, because he's too busy getting fat off their fruitless labor?
    because they believe there is a "higher purpose." that he "knows" whats "best" for them.

      The religious extremist that killed him on the other hand won't unless he repents and accepts Christ as his saviour. It's as simple as that.

      Please don’t talk out of ignorance I beg u. Islam is the true religion that every human being on earth must follow from the god that created u. Islam is a religion of peace as in u will get peace in your life if u practice it. God says in the Quran, a life without the remembrance of god is a very dark life. Islam in Arabic means to surrender. Try listening to the glorious Quran in its original language of Arabic and u will know it’s from the god of the heavens and the earth. Don’t die except as Muslims. Don’t risk hellfire

    We are not aware of any reports of misuse in the United Kingdom of the substance known as "cake" but the advisory council nevertheless has under review the question whether this and a number of similar substances should be brought within the scope of the 1971 Act.
