Don't understand - if he was jailed for 5 years in 1996 why is he just being released today? Or, have I misread the newspaper report?

[maggiebee]

Oops, totally misread. Newspaper report was from 1998.

[factor-fiction]

the newspaper article was dated 1998, maggieb

[aelmpvw]

maggie i think it's because the report you are reading is from Friday 07 August 1998

[aelmpvw]

doesn't time fly :-)

[Baldric]

Farrier, do you have a link, knowing what he is saying would be helpful?

[kawanabe]

Whenever someone else well known goes to prison don't they tend to wheel out him or Jonathan Aitken to talk about what it is like in there?

[mikey4444]

A criminal, who happens also to be a Lord.

[sandyRoe]

Behind every great fortune there is a crime.

[Farriercm]

Old Etonian That says it all, probably a chum of Cameron and Osborne,
All in it together?.

[ladybirder]

Is there anything in this world that you cannot link to Cameron farrier? It gets a bit boring you know.

Brocket was talking about the 'welcome' Harris will likely get in prison as he has experienced it but says it will be worse for Harris.

[Farriercm]

OMG, Have I upset the Party Faithfuls , or just those that have been Brain Washed, Sorry.

[Svejk]

Brain Washed, lol.

[tonyav]

I believe Lord Brocket buried a few Ferraris.

[DTCwordfan]

Thought he was the badger in Wind in the Willows.....

[ladybirder]

Brain washed? Don't worry farrier, that isn't anything that could ever happen to you:-;

[seadogg]

That would really upsett him.

[DTCwordfan]

at the risk of being a boar, The Brocket badger family is a clan based somewhere near Settle, seadogg.
