Wierd doings in the UK:

From The Telegraph:

A judge who must decide whether a retired businesswoman accused of running a campaign of "pure evil" against an idyllic rural community should be given an anti-social behaviour order has adjourned the case.

Jeanne Wilding is accused of being "at war" with at least 15 individuals or organisations.

Deputy District Judge Sandra Keen is expected to give her ruling in the hearing at Calderdale Magistrates' Court in Halifax, West Yorkshire, where the local council is applying for an anti-social behaviour order against her.

The case centres around a long-running saga in Bottomley, near Todmorden, West Yorkshire, which involves more than 250 alleged incidents in under 16 months.

James Ward, for Calderdale Council, told the court that Ms Wilding was running a "rampaging campaign of hatred and pure evil" as she turned her idyllic countryside community into a "hamlet of horrors".

The judge was told Ms Wilding's acts of anti-social behaviour included loudly playing a choral work "about rape, pillage and the trashing of villages", causing extensive damage to vehicles, beaming floodlights into her neighbour's home, and tipping oil over her neighbour's drive at night.

She also deposited rubbish, dog faeces, glass and nails on the road, obstructing other homes and communal spaces, Mr Ward said.

An interim Asbo currently bans her pointing her surveillance cameras into her neighbours' homes, obstructing a communal area between the houses and dumping rubbish, including animal corpses, as well as contacting neighbours.

You know, the Brits used to know how to deal with people like this: (go ahead, click on it!)
