I'm not sure that some of the Remain people haven't been almost as obnoxious though. I keep wondering what the reaction would have been if it had been a Leave politician who had been shot (and I don't think that's an impossibility: I am not confident that everyone who I've seen sharing their desire to shoot Farage or Gove is genuinely just 'blowing off steam' and I don't believe that blowing off steam by threatening actual living people is OK).
Totally agreed. I think the Remain people have been less dangerous in an overall sense, but some of the reactions I've seen about Farage and Gove have been distinctly not ok.
I am very glad that nobody has shot a Leave politician, and I don't consider it impossible that someone as mentally unwell/deeply unpleasant as the person who shot Jo Cox could decide to do exactly that.
