As always though I'm in two minds when it comes to restricting and banning. You can only restrict and ban people from actually letting OUT the bile that lives inside them... it's still there whether they're allowed to spout it or not, and as always I'd rather know who and what I'm dealing with rather than having to wonder what they're holding back. On the other hand, allowing these extreme views to be openly expressed is a big part of what allows them to spread to impressionable people who don't necessarily hold those views yet. I go back and forth.

You can't ban people from thinking whatever they like. But when that manifests itself into odious actions, like a celebration for the death of Jo Cox, something has to give. Mixed in with the few people who may agree with Far Right ideology are hundreds of thousands, millions even, of people who only want to take back control of our own borders instead of allowing an unelected body like the EU to dictate.
