For years I have been warning that hatred kills. Like it did in Orlando last Sunday. Or like it did in Britain last Thursday. When the gentle, decent Labour MP Jo Cox was shot and stabbed to death by a another cowardly bigot. And I’ve also warned that the same poison was spreading in Canada. Where […]
