This is the most depressing thread.
If people cannot see that the racist divisive lies of the Brexit campaign and by Nigel Farage in particular have not legitimised and made mainstream views that are totally abhorrent to the majority of most civilised people living in western democracies and that the vicious bile that permeates social and mainstream media over the last few weeks does not encourage and incite people like Mr Mair, then I despair.
I have been very sad about the whole referendum thing prior to the murder. The poor remain campaign, which has failed to expose the torrent of lies and misleading statements in the press and by the campaign for Leave coupled with the depressing tone which has been divisive and continuously dehumanises "others" creates the environment where vunerable people feel compelled (whether acting alone - or as I would strongly suspect in this case acting with other like minded individuals - Mr Mair has been quite clearly Radicalised) to murder people who hold a different view from theirs. Even more depressing is that the views that singled out this MP for a violent murder were Compassion, love, fairness, and inclusiveness.
I truly despair.
When countries put up walls, dehumanise individuals - whether scroungers, migrants, gays, blacks, muslims, Christians, the disabled - then we are only steps away from the gas chambers. This country is great because we are tolerant, inclusive, compassionate, value human rights, the rule of law, open democracy (where you can go and chat to your MP every week); and these values we have given and continue to export to others around the world.
We must defeat the haters. Whether they are ISIS, homophobes, racists, petty bigots. We must "out" the people that want to divide us for their warped view of humanity. We must stand in solidarity with all people that are oppressed - in any way. For Jo's sake love and compassion must win over hatred.
Really thinking of leaving the country that I love deeply if the haters win. It will not be the country that I have grown up in. As I say this has made me so sad. Many of you will disagree with me - but you are welcome to your view - but don't bother replying to my post because in truth I don't give a s***.

You can borrow my Frankie Boyle book Hrolf.

It gives you coping strategies for dealing with plonkers.

(basically you tell them to fcuk off)

A tragic week, but if you poison the atmosphere, someone is going to get sick.

Sounds like your both absolving those who've been s*** stirring of any responsibility.
