Pro-Life Leader Bludgeoned to Death - Suspected Leftist Arrested After Chilling Bedroom Discovery
A pro-life conservative former member of British Parliament was beaten to death, and her alleged murderer seems to fit the bill as a deranged communist.
Ann Widdecombe was bludgeoned with a hammer 21 times in her home in Devon, England, on July 8. GB News reported that the alleged killer is 28-year-old Joshua Kerry who prosecutors say entered the 78-year-old’s home in the middle of the day as she was eating lunch.

She was discovered by a gardener the following day after an assistant asked for her to be checked on.
Widdecombe, who served as an immigration spokeswoman for Reform U.K., caused concern when she failed to make a media appearance. Kerry was arrested on July 11 on suspicion of murder.
The U.K.’s Daily Mail reported July 13 that authorities found Russian communist literature and other political works in the suspect’s home. A separate report from the outlet also noted that he had newspaper clippings about Reform’s leader Nigel Farage on his wall.
Some of those clippings specifically had to do with the party’s stance on immigration.
Kerry’s father died last year, a development that made him more withdrawn. His neighbors described him as “quiet and shy.”
This is not being handled as something random, but as a terroristic act.
The New York Post reported that Widdecombe was outspoken in her conservatism, denouncing the LGBT agenda and abortion.
When coupled with the police findings, the story starts to fall into place.
The alleged murderer looks like a radical among radicals, suspected of taking the life of someone aged and defenseless.
That undoubtedly gruesome scene the gardener came upon prompts us to ask: Is this war?
The left does not want to talk.
They are not concerned with democratically mandated processes to reconcile questions of policy.

War puts society in a temporary state of alert. The normal rules of society are put on the periphery to deal with an existential threat.
We do not resort to violence. Instead, we pursue pathways — nonconservative ones, even — in which we take necessary measures. Avowed communists want to hurt you. They wish death upon you.
When leftists talk about revolution, abolishing the prisons, open borders, and the end of capitalism, they are not just talking.
Stop associating with these people. Do not give them the benefit of the doubt.
Understand that speaking up for a traditional society puts you in danger.
