it may be easy to detain someone but when ex gf chef tried to top herself with anything to hand after putting a large rock through my windscreen the police didn't give a f##k, the ambulance took her delusional self away, she refused treatment when she arrived at the hospital and so they let her walk out, she then came back round to my place and kicked sh!t out of the front door, thankfully I have a nice loud stereo and always keep some beers and snacks in the fridge so by the 3rd episode of Top Gear she was gone.

Clearly time for a "Who's been in a psychiatric hospital?" poll.

<old joke>You'd have to be mad to see a psychiatrist</>. Most of them are nuts anyway.

We should celebrate people who do not fit into the norm, this nation was built by such people.

Absolutely. If the world was filled with people who were asinine and neutral then it'd be very, very boring.

'They' only need three doctors that are willing to section someone and that is it. Easy enough to find them. There was a case at the weekend where a doctor was told by the Libyans that "three months would be helpful" and he agreed.

Doctors / Police - don't trust either of the frakers.

Certainly not plod. Fu<kers.

I don't know - I didn't really understand your comment. Can you explain a bit more?

I've said for too much!!

'They' don't 'need' a reason......


What does that make me?

Paranoid.

Unless ....












































they're really out to get you!

I said detained not sectioned. The rules are a bit different but is the affect on the person?

I don't know btw. If they can't section you, they'd just use the Terrorism Act anyway.

One can be sectioned but only if one has a diagnosis of a mental disorder that can be treated.

Well, quite a few on here wouldn't mind a return to Victorian values so I guess that's OK then?

In practical terms - hasn't it always been that you can be detained 'for the good of society'? (whatever the hell that means)

I find it a worry that the new Mental Health Act gives the "authorities" the right to detain someone even though they're not acting in a way that makes them a danger to themselves or others or committing any crime.
