I believe getting more public exposure for a mental health charity is a small step towards reducing violent crime. Jo Cox, for instance, was murdered by someone of very dubious mental stability who had been exposed to the more evil people on social media.

I'm not an American, I live in a country where the law says that what you say can be as bad as what you do. And I tend to agree. In the US, a Hitler would have his speech protected and be free to surround himself with intimidating, armed followers. In Germany, he'd go to prison. We're in between the extremes, videlicet Rees-Mogg and Tommy Robinson (Tweedledum and Tweedledee of the far right), and I think there's a lot to be said for that. But if Mair had been taken seriously, Jo Cox might still be alive.
