        Good she must be in possession of 1 brain cell to say she didn't know they were illegal. If u got caught in the UK with 300 tramadol u wouldn't just get a pat on the back. Serves her right & I'm glad she was caught. God knows who they could of been given to.

        This is a message from the government of Egypt to impotent Mrs May, "Your Britain is a fading historical barbarity, we run Egypt now so we're just letting you know we can do what we like."

        It is not often I agree with anything that happens in Egypt. This is one of those rare occasions. Stupid person trying to smuggle drugs.

        As far as 'crimes' go that has to be one of thee most ridiculous. Pain relief is a civilised motive surely?

        If it's a banned drug, then it's not really a ridiculous 'crime', is it?

        Ignorance of a country's law is no excuse and if you break their law you pay the penalty.
