    Brendan Cox

    Why am I so irritated?

    These rumours and accusations were known before the horrific death of his wife by a terrorist yet still he was allowed to head and take a large pay packet in two new charity's.

    The left press rightly squashed discussion of the above at the time of the murder.
    This does not mean the previous accusations of sexual harassment against women working with him should have been ignored.

    It's a London thing! London people can say anything, or do anything they want to other people - but they themselves are innocent of anything they may have done or said!

    It is a Leftie thing.
    Cox was a SPAD for Gordon Brown part of the elite leftie group
    and one of 11 0ut of 25 working in high paid positions for charity's.

    "Save the Children

    In November 2015, Mail Online reported that Brendan Cox had resigned in September as Save the Children’s director of policy and advocacy after complaints against him by women members of staff. A well-placed source said Mr Cox strenuously denied any wrongdoing but agreed to leave his post. An insider said:
    "Some people were unhappy there was no proper internal investigation into the allegations. Brendan packed his bags and left suddenly."
    One individual[Who?] who has worked with Save the Children said:
    "Several of the women complained about inappropriate behaviour by Brendan. When the charity did nothing about it they threatened to make a huge fuss. Shortly afterwards it was announced that Brendan was leaving. Then we heard (Chief Executive) Justin Forsyth was going as well."[8]

    As I understand, he set up the two organisations "More in Common" and the "Jo Cox Foundation" himself. There were no convictions or even cautions. He was a paid employee of the latter charity, so the Charity Commission had nothing to act upon and indeed, the CC acts through trustees rather than employees. The former is a non profit organisation, but not a charity, so the CC had no jurisdiction. Setting up a non profit organisation outside charity legislation is no more difficult than opening a corner shop, with no more checks and balances.

    He sounds a bit of a bully and an old goat. Save the Children acted on the accusations.

    Entitled alpha males who think they can have their way with more junior women are certainly not just found on the left. The list of conservative (and labour) MP's with form in this area is well documented, as is the POTUS, darling of the alt-right.

    This is an issue of (mostly) white male entitlement and power, not of politics.

    The point is Brendan Cox resigned before an investigation(if any) took place.


    I believe it is politically linked in this case.

    There was strong support from the left politics for Brendan Cox to stand for his wife's seat in Batley and Spen after her death.

    Brendan Cox was a fervent Labour supporter activist and had worked for Gordon Brown under a Labour Government.


    Political activist?

    After reading his very naĂŻve views in that link, people would be happy that he is not in politics. According to his facebook page, he appears to be more concerned in attracting support for his funding. I find it far more ironic that according to his own statement, both he and his wife were using some of the funding to support a group named The White Helmets in Syria. It became well known that this supposed Aid workers team, existed to support the terrorists and were funded by the USA and allies of the USA. Since when the internet has been flooded with large numbers of lists decrying that this was propaganda and that the White Helmets are merely Aid Workers - this is a regular USA denial.

    I would support funding to The White Helmets-they are ordinary Syrians trained in first aid to help the injured in a war zone.

    Funding for the charity keeps him in a job and invitations.
    Poor Jo Cox.
    Died horrifically with a husband trashing her (shortened) life's work.

    In Syria, they have their own rescue and first response teams. These teams are dressed in well worn clothing and their vehicles show that they have indeed entered war zones - they are there to help their own people, the Syrians. As opposed to the White Helmets who arrive at scenes much later, in smart clean uniforms with new vehicles and use much of their time in videoing scenes and taking photographs. This is an account from the Syrian people themselves. The White Helmets are well fed. When the Syrians have asked for food they have been denied it or have been offered food at high prices. The White Helmets are well armed and tend to the terrorists far more than the Syrian people - many of the Syrian people have not even heard of the White Helmets. The White Helmets are funded by the USA and its allies. The USA are funding the terrorist groups to facilitate divisions in Syria. Divide and conquer?? A similar procedure to that of the Ukraine.
    You can get a good report from Eva Bartlett, a Canadian journalist who speaks Arabic and who has visited Syria on six occasions, and who was present when the 2014 elections were taking place in Syria, when Assad was voted in with a good majority.
    "Western media lies about Syria exposed (Canadian journalist Eva Bartlett) U-Tube. and https://www.rt.com/op-ed/authors/eva-bartlett/
    Obviously for the reasons given above, her reports needed to be published fairly.
    Since the White Helmets were exposed, the American press has flooded the internet with opposing reports in order to deny the accusations.

    I would hardly describe Eva Bartlett as a journalist. She's a pro-Assad, pro-Russia, Pro-Palestine, Pro-North Korea activist, who blogs for RT. Her blogs are more one sided than any of the fiercely partisan mainstream media reports.

    Since the White Helmets were exposed, the American press has flooded the internet with opposing reports in order to deny the accusations.
    Flooded? Hardly. However Bartlett has been debunked by many countries, including your own.

    The stuff she writes on using Syrian children as propaganda is sickening.

    There will be heaps of propaganda on both sides of a war, there always is.
    But reading various countries newspaper reports on the topic of Syria - a different story emerges to that which we are given in our press. For instance, Saudi (an ally) supports the USA reports. Syria and RT give their version supporting each other while Pakistan, independent of the issue also supports Syria and RT's version. Israel reports on the Syrian opposition Defence team known as The White Helmets and that rebels are firing into Damascus, Assad's seat of power. In the Independent, Sept. 2017 - there is a report from one of the Kurdish nation, who states that his people have been repressed since 1923 by the Turkish people. (The Western media also reported on this, and also said that the Kurds were forced up into the mountains and were being systematically killed by the Turks) There are not just a few bands of Kurds - there are 35 million Kurds who are seeking independence and also a share in each country's oil. Take oil out of the equation and there would be no interest in the Middle East whatever.
    The USA would dearly love to have control of all the oil in the Middle East, under the guise that it is protecting the interests of Europe and Japan but in reality it would help itself.
    Russia does own huge reserves of oil, much of which is piped to Europe and I believe now to China. America wants this market. Assad in Syria, and Iran are blocking cheap oil sales to the US, as are some smaller regions of the Middle East. Since the White Helmets have been introduced in the region since 2013, and are funded by the USA and its allies - what benefit would it give Syria or Russia to lie about them?

    Dreadful woman.

    I know the politics and allegiance of Syria is complicated
    anyone can see the white helmets are giving aid to civilians.
    These are mostly women and children the regime would leave to die.

    Then you would also discredit Stephen Lendman, a graduate of Harvard and ex-soldier too? Smart News must be all rubbish, and Global Research is to be ignored - only our own press is correct? I have just been viewing many areas where serious disputes have occurred in Syria - and people have been injured - but none featuring any White Helmets?

    In an interview with the British Channel 4 News, the Syrian MP
    Dr. Nora Arissian invited European MPs to come to Syria in order to see the truth, asserting that what is being circulated by MSM news and the western media about the situation in the Eastern Ghouta of Damascus comes within media war being waged on Syria.
