A year on from Jo Cox’s murder the family are calling for
people to get together and connect with their neighbours in her memory.
Presumably to nurture the spirit of British culture she hoped to represent
before she was killed.
Though I suspect some communities will be more able and
willing to get together in this respect than others, as the hung parliament is
indicative of a divided mood and the events of the last few years have created conflicts
that will take a while to heal.
Though heal I hope they do, as Britain is at its greatest
when we come together to celebrate and achieve. At our best we have a generous
and peaceful community.
After so many violent attacks in recent weeks I suspect many
will be seeking to connect in a positive way, though it is sad we clearly have
so far to go in persuading people not to attack each other.
