From midday 14th July 2008 Bath Abbey Churchyard
Massive investment of time and money has gone into creating a state with complete control over its subjects. We have a law for every form of deviance.
Enforced drugging of people with a psychiatric diagnosis means the changes to the Mental Health Act are the most invasive challenge to human rights yet.
A world view outside of the 'normal' has become dangerous and illegal in this country. If the media fails to control how we think then forcible drugging will do the trick much easier and cheaper than using prison.
The Mad Hatters of Bath are offering free normality testing in the Abbey Churchyard Bath to raise awareness of how 'normal' is an invention and we are all individuals.
Also the oportunity to celebrate our diversity and differences makes Mad Pride Day a day to celebrate. So come along and bring what you want to find, music, theatre, performance, dressing up box,biscuits. read full story / add a comment

This story has been running in the mainstream media, both local and national press, since mother of five Natalie Bracht, left her home in Sunderland on 17th May this year and went on the run. With joint British and German nationality, Natalie settled in Sunderland with her five daughters in 2006. She told local papers and social services that she had fled her home city of Dusseldorf to escape a dangerous husband involved in a religious cult. She was provided with housing and benefits etc but whether the authorities believed this story or not is unclear. What we do know is that Childrens Services were involved in the case from the beginning.
