Consider that headteachers telling kids Santa won't come (if it happened) has the same rate of occurrence as Brexiteers murdering MPs.Comment

Mind you, it is in a Brexit stronghold, and we know that such folk believe all kinds of myths (and blatant untruths).Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

Funny to see that the Brexiteers on here actually believe Santa is real. But then again they believe in Unicorns as wellComment

He was clearly a political extremist.
Police discovered evidence of behaviour associated with OCD when they searched his home. It was sparse and obsessively orderly, and inside his kitchen cupboards, tinned food was carefully arranged in precise rows, with each label pointing in exactly the same direction.
Mair himself claimed to be in need of treatment for mental health problems. In 2010, while volunteering at a country park near his home, he suggested to an interviewer from the Huddersfield Examiner that he had previously received such treatment. “Many people who suffer from mental illness are socially isolated and disconnected from society,” he said. “Feelings of worthlessness are also common, mainly caused by long-term unemployment.”
After his arrest, he was examined by a psychiatrist who could find no evidence that his mental health was so poor that he was not responsible for his actions. He was essentially a sane man.
Mair is clearly an extraordinarily troubled individual. Some psychologists who have studied people responsible for acts of “lone-wolf terrorism” have concluded that they frequently identify strongly with one group so strongly that they are prepared to make considerable sacrifices for what they see as the good of the group.
The authors of one study wrote that “positive identification with a group, combined with the perception that this group is being victimised, produces negative identification with the group perpetrating the injustice”. This appears to chime with Mair’s belief that “collaborators” were operating to the detriment of white people.
The authors also found that individuals who are radicalised by a sense of grievance “can be steady, planful and workmanlike – as indeed many lone-wolf attackers seem to have been”.
