and we the tax payers will have to pay if they arrive in Uk
let them stay there!!.

There is a reciprocal agreement between UK and Peru and they can transfer home if they have the airfare (and apparently can't be refused!)

Ok but we should wait till we find 2 Peruvians to swop with!

can't see any Peruvians wanting to spend their sentence in a jail there

It's going to take a few years before these two are going anywhere.

Not if they are deployed to the UK where they will be re-tried and either let off or given vastly reduced sentences all funded by the taxpayer.

When leaving jail they will sell their stories to the newpaper, do some interviews and perhaps celebrity BB, by which time they should have made enough to compensate them to some extent for the 1.5 million that was cruelly taken from them.

Is there not some principle in law that you're not allowed to profit from your crimes? Although that bloke Mr Nice seems to make a living from wandering around doing a not very funny stand up routine based on his drug smuggling past.

They will argue that they are innocent and only pleaded guilty so that they could return to the UK where they would receive a fair trial etc etc.

The most interesting point to this is the fact the Irish government wants nothing to do with it despite the defendant stating her Nationality as Irish rather than British - I wonder how she feels now?

Wrong I know, but I can't help but laugh at that Michaela's hair! :rotfl:

FWIW, I believe they knew exactly what they were doing.

I mentioned this earlier in the thread. They can't profit from their crimes in the UK. It's enshrined in law so out will go the newspaper stories if they do get back here.

I don't think they can be retried here. One of the conditions of transfer would be that they serve their sentence as per the Peruvian court decision. Unless somebody knows different?

Interesting that the Irish govt want nothing to do with yer wumman. Could this start a reduction in the number of Northern Irish people applying for Irish passports because of the lack of consular protection?

Recent surveys show that most people from the minority community now consider themselves to be Northern Irish and would vote to keep us in the UK because of the financial security. so what was the 40 years of violence for then? I'm sure SF are gutted lol..

I wonder does she know how ridiculous she looks? Maybe not because neither of them appear to know how ridiculous their defence (or lack of it) has been. :rotfl:
