His biggest mistakes where, to be British, to live in the UK and not to have fleeced the fund of millions of pounds. Had he been any other race, in any other country, he could have got away with millions as our police and judicial system don't want to chase serious crime. Our police and judicial system looks for honest British citizens that make the odd petty mistake. Another thing that is worrying is that with the terrorism threat etc. any decent person would try to make justification for their actions after being banged up in a cell and interviewed by police that are trained in Psychological skills and tend to note more of what they say rather what the defendant says. What next, a conviction for getting a hole in your pocket and littering the pavement?
