I am not assuming it was anything else at all. I believe it was a pleasure flight that went very wrong. Maybe I've put 2 and 2 together and made 5. But let's face it, they send teenage thugs on holidays, why not send this con on a "charcacter building" pleasure flight as part of his "rehabilitation" so that he doesn't feel "alienated from society". I'm sure there are some do-gooders out there who are capable of thinking of such c**p, and why not, the tax-payer can stump up the cash.
Angry of Watford.
