Defence lawyer James Wood QC told the Court of Appeal: "Customs and Excise themselves imported vast quantities of heroin into the UK under the system of so-called `controlled deliveries'.

Four of the men - two from Manchester and one each from Birmingham and Bradford - have served their jail terms, and a London man was granted bail last year pending appeal.
They all say they were wrongly accused on the basis of information from paid informants whose rewards from C&E were often so great that they were prepared to "set up" innocent people.

It was in her bag so surely she must be guilty.
Never had anything in my bag that didn't belong to me!
Has she not heard of padlocks?

Padlocks my arse, like they cant be broken and replaced quickly and easily.
Especially the tiny ones.
