I have checked with the mate who did the introduction; ironically in a bar, and I have indeed met the man. It is easy to take the pee over my stance, but unlike the Movers who collectively schemed to defraud/steal and I dare say many other similar cases, there is background to this one. He has been found guilty and he deserves his punishment, and if I was a betting man, he will be selling the Big Issue in 18 months time. The taxpayer will keep him alive and over the rest of his life the sum will probably exceed that which has been stolen. Could it have been nipped in the bud before it got this far? That is the question that needs a robust answer.
