Out of luck: Lotto winner Philip Walker was jailed for 15 years A BARNSLEY MP has asked the Home Office if two Barnsley men imprisoned in Malta for drug trafficking can be repatriated to serve their sentences in the UK.Barnsley West and Penistone MP Michael Clapham has made the request after meeting relatives of the men. Philip Walker, aged 38, a former £200,000 lottery winner was jailed for 15 years in 2002 on the Mediterranean holiday island. Walker, of St Helen's Street, Elsecar, a father of two, was found guilty of plotting to deal in cocaine and possessing 229 grams of cocaine with intent to traffic.
Father of three, Steven Caddick from Worsbrough, who was on holiday with Walker at the time of their arrest, was also found guilty and sentenced to 13 years. After a subsequent appeal Walker’s sentence was reduced by three years and Caddick's by two.
Mr Clapham said the terms of the sentence were that- half of it should be served in Malta before they could be repatriated to a British jail. Mr Clapham said: "Their relatives want them repatriated as soon as possible. They are saying that their request for an earlier repatriation was turned down without explanation. I have now asked for clarification of this decision and if it is possible for them to be returned to the UK as soon as possible to serve their sentences in a British jail which will make it easier for relatives to visit them."
Comment:
This demonstrates how sick and twisted Labour MP's really are. Many Barnsley people have been mugged, beaten up and have had their houses burgled because of drug addicts trying to feed their habit. But drug dealers need not be worried, because your local Labour sicko will try to make sure your prison sentence is as comfortable as possible! The people of Barnsley don't want these people here. At least the BNP offer an effective alternative. The problem will be solved in an instant by bringing back the death penalty for drug dealers! There will be no drugs on the streets then!
