I think most of us would agree that maybe Asda and Tesco were right to quickly acknowledge that their range of kids Halloween Costumes was crossing a line. I don't think it was the crime of the century but certainly silly.

Asda has given £25,000 to Mind and I believe Tesco are doing the same. Mind have said something to the effect that it has actually raised the discussion concerning Mental Health in a positive way.

My point being there are times when out of the bad can come some good.

That someone when designing this outfit connected mental health illnesses with violence and horror beggers belief, and it seems Mind are taking the attitude that bad publicity is better than no publicity

21st century and mental illness is still mocked by many
