Wait, what?

Alex Jones: Banning order for fan who tweeted he loved presenter

A fan who bombarded the BBC's Alex Jones with tweets declaring he was in love with her has been banned from any contact with the Welsh TV presenter.

Shane Goldsmith sent the 38-year-old One Show star a string of messages for 17 months and waited outside the BBC's headquarters to tell her he loved her.

A judge imposed a restraining order which also bars him from the BBC's New Broadcasting House in central London.

Mr Goldsmith, 44, was formally cleared of a single charge of harassment.

    Clicked on the headline thinking it was about Info Wars' Alex Jones. Disappointed.

        The journal bar is (currently) right besides the article about conspiracy theories, too. Coincidence? I think not!

    It wasn't just that he loved her, he carried around a fancy engraved leather notebook with her words of love back to him.

    I expect he has auditory hallucinations.

    He also claimed to be in President Obama's "inner circle".

    I tried to get the Santa Cruz Police Department to involuntarily hospitalize him, but they told me they were too busy that night.
