Never knew such a thing existed, Celebrity mental spotting in Leamington. Cruel websites such as these should quite rightly be banned.

Has anyone ever heard seen the website ?

No idea what this is? What does it involve? Do you have a web address?

There is a big article about it In the Midweek Courier, this week.

Police are investigating complaints about the online group ' Leamington Spa Celebrity Mental Spotting'.
The forum which was on the social networking website Facebook, now appears to have been removed.
The Courier reported earlier this month that the charity workers were unhappy with the group which claims to contain images and topics of 'eccentric' Leamington residents.
Nicholas Wilkins, a client of 'Mind' which supports those with mental illnesses, said: ''It is totally disgusting. I think it is slandering a lot of people with mental illnesses.
But members of the online forum did not agree with this view.

I wouldn't expect anything else from today's generation of hyperactive, dumbed down kids. Britain has built a huge problem for itself by gradually demolishing the education system from primary school to university and pouring out thosuands of badly educated graduates who are only fit to work in call centres and drink in chain bars. Yet they all want instant high wages. I work with new graduates and they're thick as pig slop - I wonder what they've been doing for three years. And it's only 10 years since I graduated myself. No wonder we're having to import both unskilled and skilled labour these days - and why companies like Rolls Royce are moving their R&D centres to countries like Germany!

One day Britain is going to realise that its self-perpetuating myth of greatness is only shared by, well, Britain and a few manky old islands in the Atlantic.

Wow, that was many years ago from Will Hay comedy.

I do agree with you about what is happening to Britian.
