Once upon a time there was a little boy who wanted to become a Journalist…

But what is this ^^^ supposed to be?

For some unknown reason, when the above Cartoon was first posted, it dissolved into the little Box with the Question mark in it above.

It may be because I just copied and pasted it.

This time I copied it to Photos Gallery, and posted it again from there.

This seems to have worked.

You copied it to Photos Gallery, and posted it again from there, what on earth does this mean?

Now I'm totally confused - again.

You've sourced twitter..

Still never mind, I give up on this one.

I just again ask that you check the links you wish to post are accessible before publishing.

I wonder how long it will be before Clarke publishes a story about Helge B withdrawing his evidence
and thus putting in jeopardy whatever threadbare case H. Wolters allegedly had against Brückner.

He could of course make a big story out of it. But he may not realise that.

I've just been looking at Clarke's Olive Press May 2022 15th anniversary 'EXCLUSIVE' from the archives.

Essentially it's more a sales pitch than a report, nonetheless quite Clarkesque in terms of romanticism and associated dramatics.

It's a three page special 'inside' + front page tantalizer.

I'm not so keen to play along reproducing his nonsense over here, he doesn't need me to parp his bugle clown

he can do that for himself.

Jon has obviously decided to expand his Operation into the German language.

He needs to get the English correct first.
It is down to its usual standard.

"THE Olive Press has expanded once again with the launch of a brand new GERMAN edition for the Costa del Sol.
The leading expat newspaper is now offering its brand of exclusive stories and original content to the millions of German speakers who live in – or like to visit – Andalucia.
It follows five successive years of expansion that have seen the newspaper launch fortnightly editions in Gibraltar, Mallorca and along the Costa Blanca north and south.
The latest addition is the first ever FREE German newspaper on the Costa del Sol, and can be found at all good outlets, including hotels, restaurants, golf courses, petrol stations, supermarkets and more.
The venture came about after a group of Germans picked up a copy of the Olive Press this Spring and, insisted, it needed to be translated. [and comma insisted comma it needed ..??]
They immediately contacted publisher Jon Clarke to broach the idea of a similar product for the German market and voila, the Olive Press Aleman was born. [voilà is French and has a grave accent over the 'a']
“They insisted that while Germans can speak English and read it, they are so much happier doing it in their own language,” Clarke explained.
“They were also amazed at how much varied and interesting content our well travelled professional team created. They insisted it was a no brainer.”
As a result an impressive collaboration between our news editors and designers in Marbella and a polyglot team of journalists in Berlin and Hamburg – not forgetting our new inhouse addition and ‘middlewoman’ Elsa Ibañez, who is half German and half Spanish and speaks perfect English.
Olive Press Publisher Clarke added: “I’m very grateful to Elsa and her boss Michael Bormann who’s been very influential.
“On top of that the paper looks great, even if I can’t understand it!” [ Perhaps one of them will teach him about the umlaut, and where to find it on his keyboard] [Incidentally confirming what we thought about all his trips to Germany and his in-depth interviews with German lawyers and suspects and witnesses.]

At least when he makes any future Libellous Claims, Brückner will not have to pay for them to be Translated!
