briton faces execution in china on drugs charg, page-3

It's hard to be really sympathetic to a person carrying such a large quantity of hard drugs, although we can still feel sympathy for his family.

We in the West have encouraged such irresponsible behaviour by our laughable soft approach to drug taking and drug pushers.
