Who on earth would do something like this?
Several different tributes to Thomas Mair, the man currently under arrest for the murder of Labour MP Jo Cox a few week ago, have been spotted around Cork in the past seven days.
Mair, who was an ardent white supremacist, gave his name as ‘death to traitors, freedom to Britain’ when asked by the judge.
The graffiti all follow similar themes – referring to the killer as ‘Tommy Gun’ and branding him a ‘POW’ (prisoner of war).
Four different examples have popped up on Twitter in the last few days.

Graffiti has appeared around Cork City defending Jo Cox's killer – calling him a POW. Never been ashamed of my city until now.
