I would condemn violence against anybody.
You are trying to score cheap political points and frankly it's rather tiresome.
Right, lets get a few things straight here. This is not the Today Programme or for that matter Newsnight or Question Time. This is in fact an internet forum where people are free to share their thoughts and ideas provided that they stick to the rules. In that case why are you so paranoid about me scoring "cheap political points"?? I'm not doing anything of the sort; all I'm doing is posting what I think. However you're so worried that my thoughts might influence others that you have decided to try and become the Forum's Head Of Thought Police. Well good luck with that because it won't wash with me.
Secondly, you might think that race related attacks / violence / marches are "rather tiresome" but I can assure you that my wife's sister didn't think it was "rather tiresome" when her new and expensive car was keyed by local members of the BNP. However, as you have already stated that's all "rather tiresome" and you'd rather not hear about it.

Unfortunately you are making a political point on the death of a young woman bringing totally irrelevant alleged incidents into the debate which has nothing to do with the subject.
Right, lets think about this. The man (in the loosest sense of the word) who murdered Jo Cox is a self proclaimed Far Right political activist who considers anyone who wishes to remain in the EU to be "a traitor". Jo Cox was a prominent member of the 'Remain' camp and so Tommy Mair decided that he had to kill Jo Cox. That's not a "political point", indeed that's exactly what happened. The fact that you are seemingly unable to live with that is hugely disappointing.
There can be no question that Tommy Mair was under the influence of Far Right groups, both overseas and in this country. However in order to try and avoid the uncomfortable truth you and one or two others are trying to dismiss this as "political points"!.
When you refer to what I posted as "alleged incidents" I'm going to assume here that you are perhaps casting doubt on what I have posted regarding racially motivated incidents. If indeed that is true can I assume that you don't think that:-
Asian owned properties and businesses often come under attack
That Asians themselves in certain areas of the country don't suffer from race based attacks, both physical and verbal.
And Far Right groups don't stage demonstrations in our towns and city's in order to provoke a response, to try to gather support.
Finally, I think it's worth mentioning here that some of the money pouring into the Jo Cox fund will be donated to the charity Hope Not Hate. I think that tells you all you need to know about the connection between Jo Cox's despicable death and the constant battle against racial hatred, which you of course describe as "alleged incidents".

To me, it appears he was influenced more by Anders Behring Breivik than Nigel Farage.
Yes I'd agree with that.

So it appears that Jack Buckby from the British National Party will be contest the seat left vacant by Jo Cox.
Oh what a surprise. Still, if I dare to criticize that no doubt I will be accused of making a "cheap political point" whilst he will be applauded for upholding democracy.
