The mass-murdering Norwegian terrorist Anders Breivik has been declared insane (see:  http://news.sky.com/home/world-news/article/16120049). In a 243-page psychiatric report following 13 meetings between Breivik and a team of psychiatrists, Breivik has been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, a severe psychotic mental disorder (see:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paranoid_schizophrenia).

It has been recommended that Breivik should be indefinitely confined to a secure unit at a psychiatric hospital, potentially for the rest of his life, with reviews every three years to determine if he is still a danger to society. The public prosecutor in the ongoing terrorism investigation told a press conference that the psychiatrists evaluating Breivik’s mental state had “described a person who lives in his own delusional universe”. The report will be formally presented at Breivik’s next court appearance, on 16 April 2012.

As discussed on Pickled Politics here:  http://www.pickledpolitics.com/archives/13888, the English Defence League recently issued a public statement on their official Facebook page finally admitting that their agenda is racially-motivated (it turns out that part of the EDL’s statement was practically identical to the statement made by Anders Breivik during his court appearance just two days previously – see:  http://exposingon.tumblr.com/post/12922224616/english-defence-league-mirror-breiviks-words-in), and the EDL have also announced a formal alliance with the Far-Right “British Freedom Party”.

It is worth noting that EDL leader Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (aka “Tommy Robinson”) is on record as explicitly stating that he does not think Breivik is insane and that he actually shares some of Breivik’s opinions (see:  http://theforeigner.no/pages/news/edl-leader-breivik-dared-to-come-forward-with-his-opinions/):

“We share some of his opinions, and his fear, but not what he did in Norway 22 July. I do not think he is insane. I think that his approach was insane. Breivik dared to come forward with his opinions, and was tough, in some regards. People need to understand that Breivik is not alone in these feelings.”

Readers can therefore draw their own conclusions about the implications of the EDL leadership claiming that they share the “opinions”, “fear” and “feelings” of an individual whom psychiatrists have now certified as psychotically insane.
