>Ann Widdecombe
What a shame she didn't have a weapon to defend herself.
Every lady should.
>You don't know Anne Widdecombe. The most formidable MP in decades. Looks like a hit.
I don't know Anne Widdecombe, but I do know a bit about her.
Given that she was "the most formidable MP in decades" it would seem even more important that she would have needed security.
Here in the USA many of us normal, non-MP, private citizens have the capability to blow intruders to smithereens and would not hesitate to do so.
In many of our houses the only option available to intruders is "how many painful dog bites do you want before you're shot dead by your intended victim(s) in self defense?"
So I understand that Widdecombe was apparently murdered.
The confusing part to me is why she was vulnerable to murder.
I just don't get why such a high profile public figure would not have security measures in place so she could have either prevented the attack or at least fought back with a few punches (or bullets) of her own.
