The thin blue line has always been a symbol of hard right fascists. It was never anything else.

In the USA maybe. In the UK it was a 90s sitcom

The core concept of the thin blue line keeping society from chaos is fascist even if they made it a sitcom.

Yes. The concept of a thin blue line is not a good way to put it.
While I believe the UK charity was originally associated with mental health of Police officers, it would probably be a good idea to distance itself from the far right American police symbol.

Or maybe we should stop playing American tunes and make up our own meanings for symbols.
