Is anyone else getting fed up with hearing of UK residents visiting countries like Saudi Arabia, UAE, Thailand, Indonesia, China etc and coming unstuck usually due to taking/peddling drugs, shagging something or somewhere they shouldn't or spying.
We then get their tearful blubbering relatives on TV pleading their innocence and blaming everyone else.
This latest case involving the "academic" Matthew Hedges is a prime example. For an "academic" he doesn't seem very bright to me. Going to somewhere like the UAE and sniffing around the security systems/procedures is asking for trouble.
And now we get human rights lawyers whingeing on his behalf that he will have trouble visiting other countries because he is a convicted criminal.
Tough shit matey. Your obviously massive brain must have had a day off during the "If you play with fire you are likely to get burnt" lesson!
