Cameron warns ‘leave’ leader wants to divide — UK’s European Union vote

Mair, 52, is accused of killing Cox, a member of Britain’s Parliament, in a brazen attack Thursday in her district in northern England.

Prime Minister David Cameron appealed for intolerance and hatred to be driven out of politics, as a US civil rights group said the man suspected of the gun and knife attack had links to an American white supremacist organization.

Mair will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Saturday.

It said Mair had bought reading material from the National Alliance, which advocated the creation of an all-white homeland and the eradication of Jewish people.

Jo Cox was shot and killed in a ferocious attack in the northern English village of Birstall.

So far more than 44,000 people have signed the petition.

“They do not define themselves by country”.

Police cordoned off a house about a 15 minutes’ walk from the attack site, which neighbors said belonged to Mair.

Other online documentation linked Mair to a subscription to a pro-apartheid publication from South Africa, SA Patriot, and said he was one of its “earliest subscribers and supporters”.

A half brother, Duane St Louis, told ITV News he’d never seen any sign that Mair had an interest in knives or guns, and said he had “never been in trouble” and “wouldn’t hurt a fly”. An extreme right-wing group called Britain First denied any connection with Mair.

Cox, a 41-year-old mother of two, was an avid campaigner for the rights of refugees.

The referendum has sparked an intense debate about immigration and Britain’s place in the world.

Vote Leave and Remain have both suspended campaigning in the European Union referendum in light of the attack.

Both the “Leave” and “Remain” campaigns, which have been neck-and-neck in the polls, resumed their official activities Sunday with rival rallies in London.

Queen Elizabeth has penned a letter of condolence.

“Above all, she was an wonderful wife to Brendan and mum to her two children”.

The services in Birstall are the latest in a series of tributes to Cox, who was raised in the nearby town of Heckmondwike. He urged the British people to drive intolerance and division “out of our public life and out of our communities”.

Meanwhile, leader of the Liberal Democrats Tim Farron said it is a “great idea” and would show that MPs are “united against hate”. “We had nothing to do with it”, he said.

The Rev. Paul Knight, who led the service at St. Peter’s, told CNN that those attending “rejoiced in what Jo was able to accomplish in her short time in Parliament”. The House of Commons had not been due to resume meeting until after the referendum. Others quietly spoke of the brutality of the killing and its exceptionally public nature.

Others put flowers on the houseboat on the River Thames where Cox had lived with her husband and two young children, aged three and five. She said her sister would live on through her husband Brendan and “through her truly wonderful children, who will always know what an utterly unbelievable woman their mother was”.

Violence against British politicians has been rare since Northern Ireland’s peace deal almost two decades ago.

Cameron’s office said a reminder of safety guidance has been sent to members of Parliament, suggesting they go to local police if they have concerns.

“Of all the people in Birstall that I know, he would’ve been at the bottom of the list”. But he said lawmakers would continue to meet with constituents.

His work is said to have inspired Oklahoma bomber Timothy McVeigh, who Pierce described as a “man of principle” shortly before the killer’s execution.
