The 21 year old Roshonara Choudbary has to appear in court tomorrow because she is charged with attempting to murder on the 54 year old Labour MP Stephan Timms. Roshonare Choudbary stabbed Stephan Timms twice in the abdomen while he was holding an afternoon surgery at the Beckton Globe community centre. According to Sir George Young this incident calls for a review concerning the safety of MPs, which is important to appear in public. Timms praises his assistant and a security guard for their help and plans to return back to work soon.

My reaction / opinion:
I hope that Roshonare Choudbary will have to go to prison for a long time. Although she, probably, is against the ideas of the Labour Party, she has not got any right to stab a Labour MP. This assault reminds me to the murder of Pim Fortuyn, the Dutch politician who was killed in 2002 by Volkert van der Graaf. I think it is insane that people with a public function need security guards to secure their life when they show up in public. Luckily, Stephan Timms survived the assault and is now planning to return back to work.
