[royfromaus]

Is it me or is the drug offence really worse than the break in?

[barry1010]

He is not his brother in law's keeper.

The scandal would be if he weren't arrested

[Old_Geezer]

Most unfortunate for him. But the sins of the brother must not be visited on an individual. They are capable of their own sins.

[douglas9401]

Just a misunderstanding. The brother-in-law heard how Humza made a hash of everything and decided to get a piece of the action.

[JACKSON-REACHER]

Did the BiL live in the house that was burgled and the Police found drugs there?

or

Did the BiL commit a burglary and drugs found on him when he was found ?

[ynnafymmi]

Perhaps he can ask the Murrells or Alec Salmond to recommend a good lawyer?

[Prudie]

No the sins of the brother in law must not be visited on Humza but it's pretty poor show that you can't live a clean life at least while family are in office. What a dope.

you can't do anything about your family. Ottoman sultans and other potentates tended to execute troublemaking relatives on taking power; Roman emperors usually had to go to war against theirs. These methods have fallen into desuetude, though I can see how they might form the basis of a TV series, with the audience voting.

[Ellipsis]

The parents have not been having much luck ...

[Atheist]

jno.

"Ottoman sultans and other potentates tended to execute troublemaking relatives on taking power."

Their harem girls were sent away once thet were had produced a male child. When the sultan died, there was a flock of women with male children who rushed home to get their sons made the new sultan. There was then a flurry of murder to see which son was left to be the new sultan. Aren't humans lovely?

[ToraToraTora]

I think we've all got a bit of a dope in our families.

[jno]

Atheist, the women in the harem were almost all captives from various wars (though a few were donated by leaders of friendly nations). This meant every sultan was foreign and probably the son of a slave. That made for a vastly more diverse royal family than the inbred Habsburgs and Egyptian pharaohs; and rather more than the Windsors too. Maybe that's partly why they were a power for the best part of 500 years: they saw the importance of constant renewal.

[Atheist]

jno; Thanks. Outbreeding is better for the tribe than inbreeding. Quite a good system, although I do pity the plebs who were busy building pyramids and mosques doing the washing up and serving at table and painting tombs and wall decorations for the rulers and generally being treated as nothings. Much the same as nowadays.

[jno]

the pyramid builders were long thought to be slaves, but it's now believed that most of them were well fed and paid and probably union members. Quite likely a few conscripts as well, though, like medieval villagers marched off to war by the lords to whom they owed feudal service.

sorry, meant to add a link there
