The European blood

I must confess that until Thursday, the  16th of June,  I had followed the debate on Brexit in an almost indifferent mood.

"That's domestic, internal, British affair" I used to say  to myself.

In short, I was waiting the 23rd of  June ready to accept the outcome of the referendum for what it would be.

I've always thought that the English (a little 'less the Scots and the Northern Irish) were inside the European Union without  any real conviction, with the head standing on the the Atlantic's  major issues and the feet   in the Mediterranean, but only to control us closely, enjoying only the economic benefits of the  European market.

But after the barbaric killing of Labour MP Helen Joanne "Jo" Cox I changed my mind.

Now I feel that England (but this should be extended to the whole of Great Britain) is an indissoluble part of the European Union.

Now I look forward to the outcome of the close referendum.

Now I know that if the death of Jo Cox will tip the scales on the "no" to Brexit (and then on the permanence of the United Kingdom in  the EU), the valiant  Labour MP   did not die in vain.

For her I will continue to be a convinced European.

But from now on I will consider Britain an integral and true part of our European Union.

Let's stay together,  European brothers, stick in our common Christian roots. Without hatred and without racism, but with our well-defined  identity.

It will be easier to deal with those who come from outside and profess another religion if we rediscover our spirituality. I'm not afraid of the Muslims, the Buddhists, the Hindus or the Jews, even though as a Christian (and Catholic in this case) I  rest firmly in my convictions, attached to my roots.

We stick together, to cope against the resurgence neo-Nazis, which lead to hatred, intolerance and violence.

Let's stay united to face any kind of fanaticism and do not allow the unquenchable thirst for spirituality that afflicts humans since the dawn of civilization, be filled with dark mysteries, with vacuous quackery and stray spells, or with false and superficial esoteric convictions.

Beyond all religious convictions (I do not know  anything about the religiosity of Jo Cox but I know that  faith is still a personal matter) Jo Cox was an example of seriousness and commitment in politics and society. An example to follow by all Europeans.

Time will tell us if Jo Cox has contributed with his innocent blood to build a Europe more united and supportive. And if in the great book of our Europe will have the recognition she deserves to have.

One thing is certain: Jo Cox will forever have  an important place in my heart.

Thanks Jo, for what you were and for the example that you have been able to give, while you were alive, with your commitment in favour to the most vulnerable and marginalized.

The hand which  wanted to suppress your ideas has done nothing but give wings to those same ideas, which now fly, free, in the most sensitive and mature minds of your Great Britain and of our Europe.

Yet another demonstration of how useless and foolish are all forms of violence.

Whose writing is that?

If we find the author of this note, will have into our hands the murder of twentyfive-year-old wonderful girl, newly wed, killed two years ago in Birmingham while she was six months pregnant.
Her name was Kuldeep Kaur Sidhu. She was married to Mr Baljinder, alleged to belong to a higher caste than her's, who denied to have an affair, as described in the note.
The inquirers believe the killers faked a suicide.
As matter of fact the scene was very strange, with the presence of bottles of whisky and rhum and the note written by an unknown person, selfdeclaring it was done by appointment of the same victim. Furthermore Pathologist William Lawler declared that the unhappy woman probably died from manual-strangulation.
After two years the killers are still undiscovered.

To know more details read the Fay Schlesinger's item of news on the Daily Mail on line linked below:

A pregnant newly-wed was found strangled, hanged and burned alongside a fake suicide note accusing her husband of having an affair, an inquest heard yesterday.
Kuldeep Kaur Sidhu, 25, was discovered half naked with a rope around her neck following a fire at her home in Birmingham in May 2008.
The nursery nurse's killers, who are believed to have attempted to make her murder look like suicide, have never been caught.
Birmingham Coroner's Court heard that the Sikh family of Mrs Sidhu's accountant husband Baljinder were unhappy about their marriage six months earlier because his wife was from a lower caste.

But Mr Sidhu, who denied having an affair, said the couple were happy and had been trying for a baby.
He discovered his wife was six weeks pregnant from the results of her post-mortem examination, he told the inquest.
After her death, police found a handwritten note that was addressed to 'mum and dad'.
It claimed Mrs Sidhu faced 'living hell' and had been 'mentally tortured' by her husband, then 27.
It said: 'I want to forget my husband who is having an affair with a white woman. I have seen it all with my own eyes. I can't take it any more. Today I am so upset that I do not want to live any more.'

The writer of the letter has never been traced, but handwriting experts ruled out Mr and Mrs Sidhu.
On May 14, 2008, Mrs Sidhu took her Samoyed dog Lassie for a walk before returning to her semidetached home in Quinton, west Birmingham. Neighbours spotted smoke coming from the house at about 3.30pm.
Firefighters who broke into the house found Mrs Sidhu's body at the foot of a flight of stairs, where the fire was allegedly started.

Mrs Sidhu's body was discovered following a fire at her home in Birmingham, West Midlands, in May 2008
She had been strangled before a rope was tied around her neck and attached to an upstairs banister, it was claimed.
When the fire burnt through it, her body fell, the court heard. Pathologist Dr William Lawler said: 'The most likely explanation... is that the deceased died from manual-strangulation.

Attempts were then made to simulate death from hanging before the fire was started.'

Bottles of whisky and rum had been placed in the house after Mr Sidhu left for work at 8am, the inquest heard.
When Mr Sidhu returned shortly before 7pm, he told police: 'I will get the b******s that have done this.' Sergeant Andrew Taylor told the inquest: 'He said his family were not happy with their marriage due to his wife being from a lower caste.'
In police interviews, Mr Sidhu denied having an affair and detectives found no evidence of this. He said his wife complained she was being stalked by someone on a bus, and he believed someone had been watching their house.

However, Detective Sergeant Andrew Houston, of West Midlands Police, told the court the circumstances of her death did not suggest a murder by strangers.
He said: 'The scene was elaborately set with Bacardi and whisky that was foreign to the house. The note was foreign to the house. There is no reason why a stranger would go in and set up such an elaborate scene.'
Mr Sidhu was arrested over the murder in October 2008, the court heard. His mother was arrested on suspicion of threats to kill in November 2007. Both were released without charge.
The inquest continues.
