Cobblers, ten thousand times cobblers. The greedy criminal bastard volunteered. Well done the Customs! Serve him right if he rots for a ten-stretch in a Ghanaian gaol, but sadly he won't, he'll be in air-conditioned comfort for half that at HM's pleasure. Shame.
Make him eat the vile stuff, I say, all of it, and save the taxpayer his wasted board and lodging for all those years.
