Brighton was full of eccentric people in the late 70s early 80s till the police started persecuting them, moving them off of their regular patches, charging them, if they still continued, many were sectioned, hence the street were cleared of them. Then came the homeless, they were treated the same, they don't want visitors to see we have problems. Nowadays we have the beggers, the police regularly make them vanish, this is a new form of persecution,
where they are taken off, but the police leave all of their belongings behind, so the coat they sat on, the hat half full of cash, the sandwiches and food people have given them, all left to waste. The pollce should be charged with fly tipping the same as any of us are, or an £80 spot charge for dropping a fag butt or for throwing food to the birds, it happens all the time.
They may just be doing their jobs, but they enjoy it too much, when you see three police round one person and they are taking their can of beer and pouring it out in front of them and saying to people " well what are you going to do about it " they are intimidated to the point where they do or say something which causes them to be thrown to the ground violently and pinned down, with knees on their chests and necks, then arrested after the mandatory thuggery.
Care in the community was just a cheap way of clearing out all of the eccentrics which they had locked up in mental health institutions, the fact is the community DON'T care, so these people are just used to practice police harassment techniques out on, so that they are experts when it comes to dealing with US.
Every time I read that the oldest person in the world has died, I have to do a quick check to see it isn't ME..........
I've noticed a guy for the last few weeks. He wanders up and down the road at all times of the day. Every time a car passes (which is quite often as its a busy road) he waves his arms about and shouts something. One day I noticed him bowing to all the cars that passed.
When no cars are about he seems happy just to talk to himself.
He sounds dangerous you are right to worry enough to start a thread about it, the bowing to cars seems particularly worrying, and talking to oneself is sometimes the only way to get an intelligent conversation. It is OK to be different, acting strange does NOT make you a NUTTER !
I should know !
Right, rant over perhaps I should now put on a dress and walk up and down waving and bowing to cars and talk to myself, sounds fun.

in bridgwater (i don't live there any more thank god) we had Jeffrey The Car. this guy actually used to run along the road holding an imaginary steering wheel. constantly, every single day. Holding traffic up, getting beeped etc... looking back I have no idea how he wasn't sectioned? Once seen him nearly get flattened by a lorry coming round a corner as he made a right hand turn into the local sports centre. he pulled up outside our school once saying he had a load of disco equipment in the back of his van and needed help reversing it, then disappeared round the corner and re-emerged slowly jogging backwards and looking behind him.
We also had a guy who would walk around the town centre dressed in a suit and a pair of shades, with a ghetto blaster playing Elvis songs really loud
as Alan partridge would say: utter, utter nutters.
The final person to make that decision and rubber stamp the paper gets paid £100 for doing it, of course that is a special sanction order ( mental capacity ), they don't need you to have seen a specialist or been assessed, just a request from the police, will they question it, or pocket the money. Same with the witch trials in the old days !
Once someone has any Mental Health issues registered on their records, doors start closing," the mental health act has not been changed for many years ", is what any mental health worker will tell you, however it has been tweaked a little bit every year, it is something to be worried about, especially the Guardianship issue which is something which everyone should learn about.
A grieving spouse who sits at the side of a dying partner for days on end and is not eating properly because of grief, can actually be taken away and locked up for six months !

In Bristol there's a guy who rolls up and down the pedestrian shopping area in Bedminster in a mobility scooter carrying two live chickens under his arms. He was chatting to the staff in Miss Millie's (fried chicken fast food) at one point when I was in there.. :))
Over the last year i've noticed a fat guy that seems to hang around the train station. He stands and talks to anyone who comes near him so i keep away from him, he shouts random comments and mutters to himself. He never seems to get on the train. He just hangs around. The station staff seem to tolerate him.
We did have a Jesusman of Sutton too, but he sadly passed away a while back. Nice bloke. :sad:
<very late reply>
Oh I remember Jesus Man & Wizard man, big loss for our area he was.
Do you remember the man on a bike with bags in the Banstead area. Looks like a mad professor.
I decked a bloke on Saturday because he drank my other halves drink. I might be the local nutter lol!
Maybe? But maybe not? If somebody downed my missus's drink, and they knew fine well what they were doing, I'd probably demand answers and if they weren't satisfactory I'd probably clatter the bugger as well.
If it was a case of person drinking the same thing, and it was sitting close to, and a genuine mistake I'd let it slide, providing they corrected their mistake, and at least offered to replace it.
I got into a slight Ruckus over a drink when I was a bit younger, one of my mates was quite timid, and some guy spilled his bottle, and said to him "Oh ****! I'm sorry man! Was that yours?", and when my mate said "Yeah", the fella replied with "Argh man! I'm sorry mate! What can I say bad luck!". He tried to walk off, and I already being a little hammered decided "Nah f**k that!". Stood up and said to the guy "What can you say? How's about sorry for knocking your beer over mate . I'll get you another one!". Well suddenly seeing I'd stood up and done that, my timid mate all of a suddenly goes Terminator and starts yelling about Get me another f**king beer. Needless to say, we found a different venue that night to drink in...
The dude who spilled the drink was almost twice my size as well, if it had've turned really ugly I don't doubt that me and my friend may have visited the ER that night....
Was no mistake - he passed someone elses drink to her and told her to have that instead. He didn't even deny it - was just a case of "what are you going to do about it?" not realising who the bloke was standing next to him.

Yeah well if that's the case you're sane...I'd have knocked the c**t out as well :))
Well...judging by some of the comments in this thread and the banned thread...gotta be DM... :)
I thought we were all computer types..nice quiet and reserved...turns out half of us are bar room brawlers...looking at me in a funny way...thump.I miss that..now my world is all snide and catty..which is almost as bad.
I remember years ago i was with a girl in a bar and we were sitting having a drink when this chav type walked up and started chatting up the girl i was with, she wasn't interested and the guy was about to walk away when he picked up my pint, downed it in one go and left the pub. I seriously wanted to kill the guy but he was built like a tank so the girl said to me to leave it because she didn't want to spend the rest of the night scraping me off the wall :))

There's been loads of fruitcakes came through here over the years and I end up being the local diddely wack.......Oh well, so long as I get a gold star for winning instead of a blue star for participation I'll be happy I suppose....

however, anyone who thinks they can define 'mental health' needs to be carted away and rigorously probed
