Tributes to Jo Cox, who lived in Brussels for about six years, during which she worked for the MEP Glenys Kinnock and Oxfam, before being elected to as an MP.
A square behind a popular concert hall in Brussels is to be named in honour of Jo Cox, the Labour MP murdered in her constituency by a far-right terrorist, as part of a drive to increase female representation on the streets of the Belgian capital. A junction by the city centre venue, Ancienne Belgique, to which Cox was a frequent visitor, has been chosen to carry the politician’s name. The 41-year-old MP, who was killed shortly before the 2016 referendum on the UK’s membership of the EU, had lived in Brussels for about six years. During her stay in the city she worked for the MEP Glenys Kinnock and Oxfam, where she was head of policy, before being elected to the House of Commons in 2015.
NWN: Have the Belgians even heard of this woman ? Certainly most of us in the UK never have..............until she died.
We wonder if the 'square' is near to the mannequin pis fountain ?
This story/award, is to keep the 'extra' second vote for BREXIT in the 'publics eye'. No doubt ! The 'money power ' will stop at nothing to get what they want.
