Peadophiles, murderers and rapists get silly sentences of less than 5, sometimes 3yrs..yet a perpetrator of a victimless crime get get 10/20

I am confused, I know this is an opinion but surely all crimes have a victim directly or indirectly?

Slightly off topic but a teenage murderer round these parts got 18 years the other day, was quite surprised though he probably won't serve it all.

Anyway I agree yes, if she is referring to daddy then there are countless more victims along the way. Drug dealers could be considered serial killers in a round about way.

She needs to quit while she is ahead, it is one thing to not expect her father's crimes to affect how people view Chloe but when she is trying to minimise what he did she could come under some scrutiny.

Who is the victim in the crime of possessing marijuana?

I don't know what her father has done that is victimless

I know it's aledged he deals drugs but what drugs and to whom in what manner?

“Turns out he was part of a huge drugs ring that was importing drugs in South Yorkshire. They got sent down for 88 years between them.”

I think it's safe to say that it wasn't paracetamol and all illegal drugs are harmful eventually or in some way. Personally I think dealers are scum and their crimes cannot be justified.

Channel 5 Fun loving: Yorkshire lass Chloe Wilburn
Big Brother contestant Chloe Wilburn's dad is in prison for his part in a drug dealing and money laundering operation, it was revealed today.

Office administrator Chloe, 25, will enter the hit Channel 5 show tonight - and is looking forward to having "a few weeks to do something a bit crazy."

However, it has emerged her dad Edwin Wilburn was jailed for 10 years in 2013 for being a 'principal conspirator' in a plot to import thousands of pounds’ worth of drugs.

The dark secret of the salt-of-the-earth Doncaster lass, who will enter the BB house with 15 others, was revealed in two newspapers today.

An insider told the Daily Star that Chloe opened up about her dad' at her final audition for the Channel 5 show.

He said: "She said ‘if I go in there, it might all come out about my dad. He’s been in prison for quite a while and he’s going to be there for quite a while as well.’

“Turns out he was part of a huge drugs ring that was importing drugs in South Yorkshire. They got sent down for 88 years between them.”

Edwin WilburnJailed for a decade: Edwin Wilburn
Wilburn pleaded guilty to the charges after being scooped up by Operation Yap, an eight-month investigation aimed at smashing an organised crime ring.

The Yorkshire and Humber Regional Organsied Crime Agency operation recovered more than £22,000 worth of cocaine, over £300k worth of amphetamine, over £7,000 worth of cannabis and almost £30,000 in cash.

Seizures were made in Lincolnshire, South Yorkshire and Greater Manchester between April and December 2012, and Wilburn was eventually jailed in September 2013 at Sheffield Crown Court.

Locking up Wilburn for a decade, the judge said: “You were a principal conspirator. You were plainly organising and directing activities with others in the conspiracy.”

At the time of sentencing Detective Constable Tammy Morrell-Knapton, who led the operation, said Wilburn, then 44, was 'involved in organised criminality.'

"The sentences handed out reflect the severity of the offences committed and the negative impact organised criminals have on communities.'

Wilburn was jailed alongside Philip Stocks (24 years), Clive Nicholson (12 years and 8 months), Terry Smith (12 years), Kevin O'Rourke (12 years), Nigel North (6 years), Micheal Meanley (5 years), Lee Colcombe (3 years), Lee Vaughan (30 months) and Christopher Connolly, who was sentenced at a later date.

There is no victimless crime but the level of harm drugs cause is often exaggerated by the media, and people perpetuate this, as seen in this thread. Amphetamines (like speed) are not like crack or heroin, they are not considered particularly addictive by most experts. "Legal" and "moral" are often mixed up by people.

Right, that does sound far more serious than she seems to be attempting to paint it.
I never liked her much but lots of people did .

Money laundering, that's never victimless is it. I do wonder if Chloe has much understanding of how that works or even recognises that it's a crime.She appears to be very dumb.



I'd get my information from places other than The Mirror once it's story is based on her being in BB rather than his crime.
Perhaps you should source information more carefully if you'd like to take a big shift to "informed opinion. "

Till I got to Nigel North, I thought for a moment that was ages lmao

This isn't about the legalisation of drugs, but any illegal drug encourages illegal activity. A lot of pretty crime is undertaken by people getting money for drugs, addictive or not.

Anyway, the argument about the addictive nature of various drugs and how much they represent a gateway will rage on, but it's nothing to do with this.

I said in my post that drugs are not a victimless crime, did I not?

The truth is almost nothing you purchase you can guarantee to be ethically sound. Most clothes you buy are made in sweat shops, for instance.

Amphetamines are extremely addictive and because their effectiveness slows down more quickly than other drugs users will often move on to higher classified drugs more quickly than with others. The effects of this crap are ruined lives for most users.

Are you confusing dependence with addiction?

Reeks of desperation in here dragging up some tweet she posted nearly 2 years ago.

Really? You think drug dealers can be considered serial killers?

Agree.

Nope.

He was described as "a career criminal" in court so it's very unlikely there were no victims along the way.
However, I expect any daughter would be distressed if her father, regardless of what he'd done, would be upset if he was locked up for years, so explaining the misguided tweet of the time.

Okay then, enlighten me. I don't know much about amphetamines, and there is limited clear info about it online, some sources have said it's a dependent drug, others have said it's addictive.

Either way, I stick to my original point that the media misreports and exaggerates the harm of recreational drugs, and in no is dealing them comparable to being a murderer, rapist or child-abuser.

Oh give it a rest, it's the exact same info as is in the Yorkshire Police report, why not stick to the story rather than taking a pop as per usual <sigh>

BIB - Ironically, a huge amount of drug deaths are caused by dealers cutting the drugs with cheap, legal and easily available Paracetamol.
