I tuned into ITV's Good Morning Britain and watched as Piers Morgan tore into three morons who are proud to be 'creepy clowns', which it seems is reaching alarming proportions. One of these creeps was actually jailed last year for prankster jokes re fake bomb attacks in London. In the present climate of possible terror attacks I wonder what these total jerks are thinking as they perpetrate this madness. LL

IMO, it would help if, instead of screaming and motivating these half-wits to further 'clowning', the victims hit the stupid b.astards with the nearest heavy/pointed object. But that's just me. biggrin

We've been getting lots of those over here as well.

Bit dangerous, I would have thought, Lily. Aren't they liable to get shot in the States, and not just bashed about a bit?

Oh yes.

A 'killer clown' craze is sweeping Britain, with police warning people against dressing as clowns in order to intimidate or harm people.

Now, the craze has taken a change for the strange in Cumbria, where a man is dressing as Batman and vowing to chase down the creepy clowns.

A photograph has been shared on Facebook of 'Batman' seemingly chasing off a killer clown.

BBC Cumbria reported local company Cumbria Superheroes is behind the effort to rid the streets of clowns.

They have reassured that the costumed man is not a vigilante, but just trying to reassure local children who are scared of the 'killer clowns'....etc.

What a time to be alive! Shocked
