We should all pay for Harris to go to the United Arab Emirates.

I read somewhere that they imprison people for years there if they have the minutest traces of any drug on their shoe or whatever.

More like Groperider now.

Thailand and Malaysia are the worst, they just give you the death penalty.

"Bingham denied smuggling drugs, claiming he had left the cannabis in a trouser pocket and forgotten about it."

What utter bullshit.

"oh sorry officer, I forgot all about that..here have some free tickets to my gig, and lets forget this happened"

Hahhahahahhaha

It seems totally believable to me to forget you had that on you. Do you even know how little 2.2 grams of weed is?

Its stupid and that excuse isn't gonna get you off but he wasnt exactly smuggling loads of drugs and selling em, 4 years in prison in that backward country is very harsh.

serves him right for being such an idiot really....Although I do feel a bit sorry for him, it would suck to be put in an Arab jail.

In other words he got pwned

The sentence is definitely way too harsh. Four years is fucking ages if you think about it. Four years ago I was 15, and I was a dick.

Hopefully they cut his hands off or whatever they do out there. Radio 1 is fucking shit but my flatmates insist on listening to it, even when Fearne Cotton is on. She's a such a filthy skank. Her knees are dodgy too.

I seriously recommend reading that link. It's absolutely mental what they'll throw you in jail for four years for.

poppy seeds, thats brutal

Meanwhile, a Swiss national is serving a four-year jail term after three poppy seeds from a bread roll he ate at Heathrow airport were found on his clothes.

That's the most insane thing I've ever heard!
