The rolling "Andy Kershaw arrested for stalking again today" thread.

DJ Andy Kershaw has been returned to jail, three days after being released.

The 48-year-old, originally from Rochdale, served 44 days in prison in the Isle of Man for harassment against the mother of his two children.

He was arrested near his home in Peel on the Isle of Man on Monday afternoon on suspicion of a further breach of a restraining order.

Mr Kershaw, a former BBC Radio 1 DJ, is to appear at the High Bailiff's Court in Douglas on Tuesday.

He has two children, a 10-year-old son and eight-year-old daughter, with his former partner Juliette Banner.

Mr Kershaw, of Shore Road, Peel, was released from Victoria Road prison on Friday but was arrested on Monday.

Let it go, mate.

he and his ex live in the same very small town on the same very small island... he kind of needs to leave.

He lives in Peel... and Peel lives in him

painful

oh, I refer you to the "reviled" thread on ILE..

Maybe he wants more time with his kids (and maybe needs a new lawyer who will help him find a better way than his current methods to get that time).

Isle of Man not the place for enlightened legal judgements methinks

his account of the prison experience is pretty grim:

Are we supposed to feel sorry for this pathetic little wifebeater or something?

don't think he's a wifebeater tbf

They changed your bedding once a week.

Better service than you get in my house...

The lights were controlled from outside and switched off at midnight even if you happened to be reading or writing.

The horror! The horror!

They won't let me out
They won't let me out
I'm locked up; they won't let me out, nooo
They won't let me out
I'm locked up, they won't let me out
They won't let me out
I'm locked up, they won't let me out, nooo
They won't let me out

I hope he goes all Fathers 4 Justice and climbs the Houses of Parliament dressed as Bhundu Boy or something.

"I'd been digging for fishing bait on the beach so I was carrying a garden fork and a bucket of worms but they played no part in the incident. "

Nice of the papers to get the wife's perspective on all this.

painful to watch.

i used to listen to the guy religously when he had a back to back show with peel on radio 1. he introduced me to tonnes of great african music.

World music DJ and professional Northerner goes bonkers in the Isle Of Man. Keep thinking of a prospective Fall song whenever I hear about this.

I'm the hardest man on the island.

I like how his ex-wife's partner is a prison officer. Nice touch.

He's "off the island" as well now, isn't he?

But this one's still on there:

jeremy clarkson lives there! this could be a go project.

amusing fact: i'm going to the isle of man next week. so technically andy will be only the second hardest man, for a few days.

Why do Tory cunts like the Isle Of Man? Is it a tax haven like Jersey?

Think you've answered your own question there, CP.

I shudder to think what else the IoM might have in common with Jersey.

tax haven & errrrrrrrrrr dunno

Isle of Man? They like to beat children. Don't they still have the birch? Until recently it was illegal to be gay. They cut the tails off their pet cats and tell outsiders they're born that way (yeah, right).

^^^ hmmm

pakistan? they force women into unhappy marriages.

For some time now I have wanted to know if Nigel Mansell arrested anyone for being gay when he was a copper on the Isle of Man

"ARSE! FECK! BHUNDUS!"

I suppose Andy Kershaw lives there because he likes the motorbike racing once a year.

You wouldn't really expect anyone to get over their mental health issues in prison though. At least not in 44 days.

Hmmm... not sure what I'm advocating here.

with that 'stache, he'd strongly suspect himself!

yeah. apparently him, peely, and someone else used to go to the races each year and eventually they started to like the place.

Surprised that Kershaw's old Radio 1 girlfriend-beating Tory mate Bruno Brookes isn't living there.

(xpost) "eventually"

what is it w/ DJs & domestic violence?

girlfriend-beating?! not the brookesmesiter!

apart from john peel, which djs are wifebeaters?

If John Peel had beaten his wife, that would have made him a child-assaulter, surely? Different crime.

That made me laugh for the first time today. Thanks. Off to bed now

Poor bloke has obviously lost it.

Before his championing of 'world' seem to remember his favourite band was The Replacements.

WTF is it with these Kershaws? Can't trust 'em as far as you can throw 'em.

i always thought he was a socialist - at least he alludes to that on a recording i have of him speaking to ivor cutler in the 90s.

"was," "in the 90s"

Well he lasted longer than most then

I think I was referring to Rick Wakeman & Jeremy Clarkson there btw.

I feared you might have been referring to Norman Wisdom

And yes it is a tax haven.

What accent do they have on the IoM? To change the subject slightly.

Think Bee Gees.

But they're from Manchester, aren't they?

Mancs not Manx

In reality it's somewhere between Manchester and Duncan Bannatyne.

I wondered if there was a vestigal Celtic element to it

"He's also just recorded a soul-bearing interview with John Humphrys for Radio 4's On the Ropes, which is broadcast today."

- no it wasn't, I wonder why.

they didn't even say it was postponed for later, just 'instead of on the ropes here's salman rushdie talking about the wizard of oz'.

well, they have their own celtic-y language, and traces of that remain... but rly most of 'em sound kinda scouse now.

It's basically Irish isn't it? Manx that is.

mix of scottish/irish gaelic iirc, but a long way back.

no one speaks it there 'for real' now.
