This sounds so far fetched that you should really cite the local UK paper and article if you make a comment like this.
It's got all the hallmarks something made up to incite anger and opinion. A believable yet outragious "fact" from a newspaper followed by a conclusion that any reasonable person would make. This gives the "fact" more credibility because of how we rationalize things.
- pbhjpbhj 8y agoI'm not prepared to dox myself for this, so ... whenever I see a drug story where they state numbers I calculate the yearly 'wage' they're getting for their prison sentence and often it's more than £30k. AFAICT they're getting much more, because they often get out early. First from the list in my local paper for "drug gang 'ordered to repay'" (censored): >A Proceeds of Crime Act hearing was told K and E had benefitted to the tune of £55k each. >The pair appeared in $place Crown Court from custody and were told by Judge $judge to repay <£1k ea. within 30 days or face an extra 7 days in prison. >$Y members of the gang who made nearly £200,000 were forced to hand over just over <<£10k between them. // The next story is headlined about paying back £6k from £180k taking; these are both stories from the last 6 months. The drugs in the stories are mostly cocaine and heroin in my UK location.
