Maths teacher made **** taunts to German neighbours


Maths teacher made **** taunts to German neighbours Speaking after the verdict, Kathryn and Reinhard Wendt said they were considering moving house

A maths teacher has been found guilty of harassing his German neighbours by playing wartime classics and performing a **** salute.

Geoffrey Butler, 54, subjected Reinhard and Kathryn Wendt to years of "misery", Medway Magistrates' Court was told.

The court heard he played Vera Lynn's White Cliffs Of Dover, the Dambusters theme tune, Rule Britannia and a Winston Churchill speech.

Butler, of Lower Upnor, Kent, was given a three-year conditional discharge.

He was spared jail at the request of his neighbours, who said they did not want vengeance.

'Whistling Dambusters'

Butler was also given a restraining order banning him from playing loud music and being threatening, abusive or insulting towards the couple.

The court heard the relationship between Butler and the Wendts turned sour shortly after they moved next door to the teacher in the village near Rochester in 2007.

Barrister Thomas Daniel referred to several incidents between July 2007 and April 2011 where Butler is alleged to have harassed the couple.

Butler said he did not own any Dad's Army-style music and that he never played music from his house.

The teacher was asked about whistling the Dambusters tune in the sight of his neighbours, but he told the court he could not whistle.

Alistair Dickson, prosecuting, said: "It sounds as though you do not like Mr Wendt very much."

Butler replied: "What do you expect? I have wasted 10 months of my life over this."

Speaking outside the court Mr and Mrs Wendt said they were too frightened to go on living opposite Butler and would have to move.

Mrs Wendt said: "It has been hell. It has been awful.

"We have had nightmares and have not been sleeping. I have just been so upset."

Butler refused to comment as he left the court.

Were there no witnesses called to support these allegations? Surely someone else must have heard it.

I thought that something didn't add up. I don't want to take away anything from this couples ordeal but we have to be careful or things may multiply and then the community could well be divided and then who knows what the answer will be.

Grandad,

I thought this might get me a laugh...

Well, this has obviously been a matter in the German media too and I had just wet myself when I first read it! Anyway, there will be animosities on both sides for a long time still and of course it depends on how you deal with them. I might have gotten friends with that guy in no time but I´m a humorous guy anyway and this couple was most likely not.

On the other hand, who knows, I can certainly give as I get, so I might have just taunted him back and who knows where that would have ended?

I'm with you. They should have played him at his own game.
Some of this at full volume maybe?
