Should be hung at the docks, as a warning to other scum.
Nothing like first impressions.

trouble seems to follow you around ted, first york street ,then the a20, today market square!!
you ought to contact the mercury and express and offer to drive them around for a small fee.
would make their newspapers more interesting.

Come on Keith got to have a bit of justice first and go to court and spend some tax payers money, after all the drugs may have got into the spare wheel by accident.
Then take them to the docks and hang them up for all to see. Pitty them days have long gone.

Harry - here is an extract from 'Them Days':
"London": "Four or five pirates who were executed yesterday se'nnight are hung on gibbets (in iron chains), between Greenwich and Erith;
the body of the other is sent down to Dover, to be hung up in chains at the end of the pier."
(Kentish Gazette 8 - 12 Jan 1790 back page col.2, near bottom)

Might do just that Howard but one thing is for sure I hate drug smugglers and dealers, in it for the money and do not care a dam about the lives and families they destroy.
I wonder if they were asked "Did you pack ypur own spare wheel sir?".
Kath, Back in 1790 they got it just about right.

Kath I doubt they were good old days when it came to justice, but drug dealers and smugglers get off far too lightly as far as I am concerned and the trouble is you lock one up and another takes their place.
The answer, well I wish I knew but may be hanging them in the docks is going a bit too far. The Market Square will do.

You are all, no doubt, aware that the chocolate you eat involves the use of slave labour at the growing and initial processing stage?
Perhaps not a whole glass and a half in every bar, but not none either.

"The truth is that consumers today have no sure way of knowing if the chocolate they are buying involved the use of child labor or slave labor. There are many different labels on chocolate bars today, such as Fair Trade Certified, however, no single label can guarantee that the chocolate was made without the use of exploitive labor. In 2010, the founders of the Fair Trade Certification process had to suspend several of their West African suppliers due to evidence that they were using child labor"
