Got a blog that should be on this panel? Send me an email.














These days nobody decent says that such-and-such a person is nuts or barmy or gaga or even a few bricks shy of a full load.
One says that they are probably bipolar and need the right kind of medication; these days, Stephen Fry and Craig Murray are willing to tell everyone they’re bipolar and coping very well.
If one looks at this woman’s stuff on the internet it’s obvious that she really truly needs real help to get back on track.
Mind you, some very successful people believe in Xenu and others really and truly believe that praying to the Blessed Virgin will sort out their love lives or their eating disorders.
As for me, I’m under the preposterous delusion that contributing to sites like this will make some people think more clearly about real issues.
“…she really truly needs real help…”
Than I thought that I might have over-egged the pudding put after going to her site I realise that if anything I understated the case …
http://www.johannakaschke.com/
Actually, there’s a ton of her gibberish in the public domain if anyone has the energy to look for it.
I wonder what on earth her children think of her loopier activities.
I don’t want to worry you Dave, but didn’t the 7/7 defendents and ‘dancing slags’ defendents lose and get long sentences? Still, I’m sure you know what you are doing!
Speaking as one of the people whose comments have been objected to, I’d feel responsible if I thought anyone, Dave included, had done anything to be responsible for. As it is I just feel annoyed. Anything you need from me, just let me know.
Dave. All this libel nonsense that goes on should be abolished. What happened to free speech. Take it on the chin and carry on regardless. It seems to me it is just a money maker for all the participants except the loser. But if you have loadsamoney then you can afford to lose. The other thing I think that should be abolished is the C of E blasphemy laws. What about a campaign about that Dave! Pistols at Dawn were a far better way to deal with disputes.
Just on the off chance that anyone gives a stuff, but she is suing Dave in one case, Der Spiegel in another and Gray, Hilton and Pressdram in a third. Isn’t Pressdram the Private Eye publisher?
It seems that the latter case may have been thrown out and is now going to the European Court of Human Rights.
This is all madness.
No, Exile, it ain’t madness, it’s attention seeking behaviour. Not that that helps the people who have to pick up the pieces.
Jimmy, think!
Nopbody with ‘tons of money’ would consider living in, or even near, Tower Hamlets unless he/she/they had an insatiable craving for Bengali food.
Yes, Sue, you are correct. Maybe the following tale will cheer folk up:
Back in the mid-1960s a friend of a friend was a commercial pilot and he had to land at Hamburg. The tower was talking him to his gate and he couldn’t follow the instructions so the Hun became all sarcastic and asked if it was his first time in Hamburg?
The pilot replied that he had been there many times before, but always at night and he had never landed!
Best of luck, as ever..
Very best of luck, Dave.
Bill Corr. Hello Bill. Is Brick Lane in or near Tower Hamlets?
I’m assuming that these lawyers both have enough cherries for at least one Schwartzvaldekirschtorte each, so they should serve you well.
Best of luck David.
“The forward march of cake-makers halted?” (Eric et Julia Hobsbawm, Agenda caterers to the Cherry-Blairs)
Jimmy, here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brick_Lane
And let nobody call me racist on the subject of Bangladeshis; those whom – in the scores but not yet the hundreds – I’ve met are decent and industrious people.
Anyone sane can and will argue that an immigrant-recipient country has the right to pick and choose on the basis on quality and quantity, just like the country in which I live now.
Bill Corr. Thanks Bill. I recognise the place. My wife went to the Gunter von Hagen exhibit doon Brick Lane. I just went to a local pub that sold all sorts of pies including jellied ell (Tory Pie). I gave that a miss.
Tory, 09:33. I suppose it has to take a proletarian to correct your spelling. There is no V in Schwartzvalde. It is W pronounced V you little Englander. Enjoy your cherry tart mitt sahne.
There’s no “t” in “Schwarz…” either. But regardless, so Bill Corr, why did they take you in then?
I had one coworker tell me, “look, you’re already waddling. haha”
Dagestan – Well, my status here is that of a contract worker, not an immigrant, an illegal border-crosser from Yemen or an overstaying Hajji or Umra pilgrim. If and when I and the job part company, I am obliged to leave the country. Simple as that.
In the short run it’s the same but one needs to be clear on who is a temporary sojourner and who is a permanent immigrant. The only Westerners who stay HERE permanently are those – very few these days – who are still being squeezed into the remaining space available in the non-Muslim cemetary in Jeddah.
As I remember saying before, I recommend the Migration Watch site as a source of totally unbiased facts.
Jimmy – Jellied eel is a nostalgia food but not as agreeable as the smoked eels which the Japanese and Dutch eat. The apogee of nostalgia food is probably the bacon-cabbage-potato-buttermilk prosperous-tenant-farmer nosh which the Leitrim emigres eat in New York City at their annual dinner-dance.
We seem to have strayed from this delusional but very vexatious – and time-wasting and expensive – woman to the issue of mass immigration of the wrong sort of immigrants.
Here is something from an doubleplusungoodthinkful sourse:
http://www.amren.com/mtnews/archives/2009/12/white_americans_1.php
Read the comments, especially the one from an Aussie. Not many UKians know that the Aussie goodthinkful class has imported and welcomed poor sad tragically war-torn Sudanis and Somalis into Australia and is now frantically attempting to obscure the figures that would reveal the totally predictable crime wave which has resulted.
…so how did it go then Dave?
Kaschke, complaints and kirschtorte
*Alex Hilton, star of the Labour blogosphere and Labour candidate for Kensington & Chelsea, won a minor victory in the High Court this week, in a case which illustrates how easy it is to get sued for libel in the UK. He owns the website Labourhome, on which another Labour blogger, John Gray, wrote about a political activist named Johanna Kaschke, who left the Labour Party in 2007, to join George Galloway’s Respect Party, then joined a communist party of some description, and since autumn 2007 has been an active Conservative. In 1975, Kaschke was falsely suspected by the German police of links to the Baader Meinhof terrorist gang. She was arrested, but eventually released and awarded compensation.
She objected to having this old story dug up on LabourHome. Hilton removed the post and offered right of reply, but she decided to go to court. She lodged five complaints, but this week, the court struck out four. One point m’learned friends may yet have to deliberate, seriously, is whether it is actionable to describe someone as “one cherry short of a Schwarzwalderkirschtorte”.
I kinda know how you feel, Dave – I’m having to put up with a complaint against me from one of our local neo-nazis down here in New Zild – he was miffed at being called out on his Holocaust denialism:
