Obviously until we know the facts, conjecture about the tragic death of Jo Cox and the reasons for / behind it will rule and people will try and make their own narrative as to why what happened did. Many academics have studied the importance of humans making up their own narrative or how we 'story' events in order to try and understand the world. In fact it is believed that to narrativise (made up word of the day) is natural human behaviour. What is certain, an individuals narrative or take on events is influenced by other's narratives, be it a group narrative of individual person's.
Britain First's narrative has branded all Labour MP's as "Treacherous Scum" (multiple times, you can still find their posts for this), they state in their Manifesto that "traitors will face justice at the end of a rope" (their exact words - effectively they are stating they will murder their opposition) and they hold "Activist Training Camps" featuring knife-combat skills.
BF can claim whatever they want when they distance themselves from the murder of Jo Cox, but they have deliberately stoked a minority of people into a frenzy over immigration, Islam and the EU. Whether this influenced Jo Cox's killer remains to be seen.
The irony lost on Britain First is that they are moaning about all of them being tarnished because of the actions of one deranged person. Lee Rigby's killer was/is mentally unstable, but his religion was used to further anti Muslim feeling. Britain First did their utmost to ensure that this narrative became others narrative too.
