Sorry to hear it, Sean. 3 million basically means he done for life? Luckily not the far east, otherwise they would have probably hung him.

    Hope he comes good Sean. Sounds like a double nightmare. Fingers crossed for him.

    Not knowing anything about the Irish justice system, but in Finland the court would have to show beyond any reasonable doubt that he knew what was in the container to get sentenced.

    Unbroken1 What are your thoughts Sean, was he aware of what was going on?

    Ive never asked him that question directly but to be fair i didnt need to. if you get me

      Can’t believe jail is much fun in Oireland.

      That said, you’d be well catered for with the myriad type of potato options

        Because a poodle’s leg was falling out of his nose as he told you the story?

          The punishment is that you don’t get spring onion added to them for the duration of your stay.

          He’ll have a blast Sen.

          Send him my George please.

          Ed if you are going to take the piss try to be a little more creative for once in your shit, better-off-dead life.

            Maybe sean was also in on the whole thing but has done a better job of his keeping his hands clean?

            But to be fair, whoever came on here for earnest sympathy?

            Daft to expect it.

              ’You’ll never get this Iads, One minute i was transporting goods for a supermarket, the think you now i’ve got 8 million Jack’n’Jills sitting in the lorry.

              I was though I was transporting Asda’s essential Range honest.

              Hate this kind of thing - I have a friend who started a great job working for what turned out to be a modern gangster cloaked as a successful businessman and he did 2 years during the first 2 years of his kids life. He was in a situation where the longer he worked eventually he started becoming able to see what his boss was doing but it had all started a decade before he even got the job. Still went to jail even though he didn’t mastermind or benefit from it. It all hung on replying to an email about the topic. When your boss is a gangster and he sends you an email you’re obviously going to reply and not grass him in.

              There was so much injustice in it (and total waste of taxpayers money)

              Need Tom Cruise to start checking hours being billed for clients to sort it out.

              We need a pithy cliche from Smallman now.

              Like:
              “If you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime. This is Ronnie (was he the gay one?) Kray signing off!”

              Sounds grim. Surely they’d need hard evidence linking him to the gang and involvement with the criminal activities of the gang to sentence him?

              Whilst the business is his, he’s not necessarily personally responsible for checking the contents of every container the business ships. Hopefully the jury see it that way, in any case

              Can he claim ‘personal use’ on the 10kg bag of yokes as he’s a mate of yours Sean?
