If politicians close down Democracy in their country on topics such as mass-immigration then I think its inappropriate to label people having a pop at them as being mentally ill.

If I campaigned for anti-immigration policies I would find politicians quickly trying to silence me. They would tell the public I am a racist or extremist then try to deny me a platform for spreading such hateful views. This is what our Democracy has come too where everybody who doesn't conform to a narrow set of views has to run the gauntlet of verbal annihilation. Its not group think either, they know what they are doing, its their strategy for getting rid of everyone so only their views are used to formulate policy.

Its why we have people like Farage pointing out that if the politicians across the EU refuse to represent then sooner of later there is a revolution coming as it will be the only way people can stand up for themselves.

I'm not disputing that people backed into a corner can and do turn to violence. I'm just stating that this particular brand of violence is an entirely different set of mental processes to a politically-motivated "execution".

There's not much point me using my amateur psychology any further if people aren't buying it. Better to take it to the Philosophy and Psychology section and see if there are any behavioural analysts here, who can add credence to it.

Bearing in mind we don't know the full facts and the offender hasn't been evaluated yet you're jumping the gun.

History repeating again.

Way back in 2003 before the EU refurendum in Sweden, Anna Lindh (pro-EU) was killed.

 

Thanks - I had forgotten about that ---  coincidence or not.?

transcript extract from the  trial in Sweden - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/3397637.stm

 

Apparently the Thomas Mair trial will take place under  terrorism protocol - I don't know what the protocols are but I expect it means that there will be secrecy?

Mr Justice Sweeney told the court Mair’s case was being dealt with under the UK’s anti-terrorism protocol and that Mair will appear again at the Old Bailey on the court’s terrorism list on Thursday morning.
