Churchill great-grandson jailed over drugs racket
"Winston Churchill's great-grandson has been sentenced to three years in an Australian jail for his role in a multimillion-dollar ecstasy racket".
Poor sod it must have something to do with his genes...
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
Barton's sentence was backdated to the time of his arrest and he will be eligible for parole by next February, allowing him to return to England to visit his mother, Arabella Spencer Churchill, the granddaughter of Winston Churchill, who the court was told had pancreatic cancer and was not expected to live past April.
ReplyDeleteSadly, that's not to be...
"Arabella Churchill, charity worker, co-founder of the Glastonbury festival and granddaughter of Sir Winston, died of cancer early yesterday - the same day that her son was jailed in Australia for his part in a multi-million pound drug racket."

Batty as hell but a wonderful and inspiring woman. She'll be dreadfully missed every June.
