Thomas Mair (minister)
Thomas Mair (1701 – 17 February 1768) was a Scottish Anti-Burgher minister and moderator of the Anti-Burgher Associate Synod. Biography Thomas Mair was born in 1701, attended the University of Edinburgh, and was ordained a minister in the Presbytery of Kincardine O'Neil on 27 September 1725. Hew Scott's ''Fasti Ecclesiae Scoticanae'' records him as the son of William Mair, a manufacturer in Strathmiglo. However, Robert Small's ''History'' shows this to be an error, and asserts that it is "abundantly evident" from Mair's own diary that he was the son of George Mair of Culross. Small also corrects the ''Fastis claim that Mair had three sons, declaring the persons named to be unrelated to Mair, on the basis that his nephew William Mair was declared his heir rather than any sons. The 1925 edition of the ''Fasti'' concurs with Small. Secession Mair was one of two further ministers (the other being Ralph Erskine of Dunfermline) who in 1737 joined the "four seceders", the orig ...

Murder Of Jo Cox
On 16 June 2016, Jo Cox, a British Labour Party politician and Member of Parliament (MP) for Batley and Spen, died after being shot and stabbed multiple times in Birstall, West Yorkshire. In November 2016, 53-year-old Thomas Alexander Mair was found guilty of her murder and other offences connected to the killing in an act of terrorism. The judge concluded that Mair wanted to advance white supremacism and exclusive nationalism most associated with Nazism and its modern forms. He was sentenced to life imprisonment with a whole life order. The incident was the first killing of a sitting British MP since the death of Conservative MP Ian Gow, who was assassinated by the Provisional Irish Republican Army in 1990, and the first death of a politician in the United Kingdom during an attack since county councillor Andrew Pennington was killed in 2000.
