Brendan Cox the widow of murdered MP Jo Cox has announced that he is stepping down from two charities that were set up following his wife’s death. The organisations, the More in Common group (an entity that doesn’t appear to be registered with the Charity Commission) and the Jo Cox Foundation (charity reg number 1170836) have been pushing multikulti propaganda, refugees welcome guff and other liberal left causes since shortly after Ms Cox met her untimely and tragic death. The Jo Cox Foundation basically supports the same lefty and pro-migrant and pro-Islam causes that the late Ms Cox did and her Parliamentary record on these issues speaks volumes about her political priorities.

The allegations, and it must be said that at this stage they are merely allegations, concern Brendan Cox’s claimed sexual misconduct whilst working at the Save The Children organisation and a claim that he ‘forced himself’ on a woman whilst on a visit to Harvard University. But, although these are allegations at the moment Brendan Cox seems to have given them some credence by his own words and actions. According to a report in the Sunday Telegraph in the UK, Brendan Cox said: “”I made mistakes and behaved in a way that caused some women hurt and offence.” He also admitted that he had acted in an ‘inappropriate’ manner. He is alleged to have committed this bad behaviour with women whilst he was married to the late Ms Cox. Brendan Cox is increasingly being revealed to be a bounder and a cad, a man who allegedly cheated or attempted to cheat on his wife by pushing himself onto unwilling women. Now it may well be that Mr and Mrs Cox had some form of ‘arrangement’, as some couples do regarding other sexual partners, we do not know, but even if this was the case it does not excuse hitting on women who don’t want to be hit upon.

The Telegraph said that when these revelations about Brendan Cox’s alleged bad behaviour came to light in the Mail on Sunday, he described them as ‘an exaggeration’ but despite saying this he did put his hands up to the fact that he had ‘overstepped the line’ with women. Brendan Cox disputes the detail of the claims namely the Harvard one, but he has finally admitted, in what the Mail on Sunday calls a ‘tearful interview‘ that he behaved badly towards women during his time at Save The Children.

Following the tragic and unnecessary murder of Jo Cox, Brendan Cox went into an overdrive of exploitation of his wife’s memory. He along with others of like mind set up organisations that were fairly and squarely in the open borders and left wing camps. These entities used Jo Cox’s name and memory along with Brendan Cox’s extensive contacts in the Establishment,to promote these policies even though they are opposed by many Britons. Brendan Cox’s in your face political behaviour following his wife’s death have given much fuel to those with a dark sense of humour. In fact it prompted one wag on the Gab platform to crack the joke: ‘What’s the difference between Jo Cox and a Cow? The answer is Brendan Cox doesn’t know how to milk a Cow’.

Brendan Cox, because of the public sympathy he had received following his wife’s murder and because of his links to powerful people in both the third sector and the governing Establishment, may have thought that his previous indiscretions had been thoroughly dead and buried. Unfortunately for Brendan Cox he was wrong about that. The ongoing furore in the United Kingdom about allegations that aid workers from major charities such as Oxfam and Doctors Without Borders were sexually exploiting vulnerable people, has caused a lot more light to be directed at the darker corners of Britain’s charity sector. It is this new more critical light that is being shone on Britain’s third sector organisations, that has helped to bring down Brendan Cox.

I can’t help but wonder if these resignations are not only connected with the adverse publicity surrounding Brendan Cox’s past actions, but because there may be other revelations in the pipeline that may be of a similar nature? Obviously this is pure speculation at this point, but to resign from the management committee of the charity that bears his late wife’s name seems rather an extreme act for incidents that are in part disputed and in part recognised as wrong by Brendan Cox himself when he has admitted responsibility for them. It may well be that the other members of the charity’s board felt that his presence on the board was inconsistent with one of the group’s aims, the promotion of women’s rights, or it could be that there is another shitstorm coming over the horizon for Brendan Cox? Time of course will tell on this issue.

Whatever the outcome of future events, for the time being Brendan Cox’s reputation has been thoroughly ruined. It has been revealed for all the world to see that St Brendan of the Waving Shroud, is a mortal man and one with feet of very soft clay.
