Terrible news I hope he makes a full recovery

 

[WhiteNoise]

Irrespective of your views about him or his politics, this is very shocking.

 

[south247]

Awful news. Parking politics this is someone passionate about his constituency and Southend generally. We all should be safe carrying out our job. Met him recently at a funeral and a proper human being. Hoping he pulls through and the scumbag who did this feels the full force of the law.

 

[Ricky Otto]

Terrible, no political comment.

 

[Sentinel]

He's a very nice man and I hope he pulls through.

Yeah don't agree with him politically but I can't understand what goes through someone's head to think that means they're justified in trying to kill him, it's pathetic.

 

[Supershrimper]

Can this be put in the main Shrimperzone chit-chat aware for a couple of days so people view it.

Believe he is quite a big supporter of the club, and Southend as an area. I know that he brings up Southend being a City in parliment at almosy every opportunity.

Hope he pulls through

Shocking

I think you need to reword that. It implies he's not a proper human being. Whatever your views on him, no-one should be stabbed for carrying out his public duty.

Sickening news!! Poor David

 

[Sentinel]

Still being treated at the Church which suggests it's either minor or he's dead.

Or he's in a bad way and they don't want to move him. Let's not speculate.

 

[TrueBlue]

Was due to attend a party lunch with him next month - shocking news, he gave me some great advice last time I saw him about getting into local government, advice that has seen me pass as a candidate for next years local elections.
Get well soon David!
It matters not about what side of the political debate you are, what matters here is a man doing his job has been stabbed multiple times!

Waiting for air ambulance

I live in Leigh, police presence everywhere and chopper in the sky.

This world is going to ****e.

It doesn't matter about political views, he's a human being and a nice one at that.
