A constituency surgery is a series of one-on-one meetings that an MP will hold with members of the public, where people may raise concerns over governance. Arness has been a member of parliament since 1983. The stabbing comes five years after Labour MP Jo Cox was killed on her way to hold a surgery with constituents in Batley and Spen, according to ITV.
Did the MP in question serve the people or did he serve “special interests”?
Was he stabbed by people in white coats saying; it’s for your own good?
Wtf is a white coat? Thank you… Assuming hospital swine, paid off. Now you got more than you bargained for (four). Enjoy your fkup.
