cameron would be hailed a hero if he brought in hanging for drug dealers

[Dave Willis]

I'm pretty sure (but could be wrong) that this isn't the first time Richy has done time. I think his parents financed his business in the beginning.

[JackieW]

So is a cannabis dealer ''scum'' too? Or is it only cocaine dealers? Or what about suppliers of illegal cigarettes?

I know and have known  several 'drug' dealers or people involved in the supply of currently illegal drugs and none of them have struck me as evil scumbags.

I'm sure that there are some people involved in the supply of illegal products that are 'scum'' but I don't know any personally, thank god.

I feel much stronger about physical violence. It never ceases to amaze me that someone who punches or stabs or sexually assaults another human very often seems to get less prison time than someone involved in the supply of illegal drugs.

For anyone thinking about helping him out business wise stay well clear.

I would imagine that the police could still seize any of the business assets if they think they were bought with drug money, which could drag your own business through the mud.

So its true then Richy has been banged up, dealing drugs has terrible knock on effects and wrecks families and peoples lives.
I have no sympathy what so ever.

[p1w1]

Be a good area to start canvassing then

[daniel worgan]

Richy you bought it on yourself mate,you got caught,do your time and then hopefully sort your life out.
There are scum from all walks of life,indeed at the weekend two clacton scum robbed my daughter at knifepoint...

Surprise surprise the old bill think it might be drugs related,so even though i hope he can turn his life around he also deserves to pay a price for it,but i do hope he comes out a better man from this experience.

Weather there is a difference in drink and drugs or not the fact that he has been jailed for 3 years for DRUG DEALING.
He was prob making 5k extra a week from selling illegal drugs. If he was selling legal drink there wouldnt be a problem. Im guessing many on this thread take drugs by there replys, im just 1 of those anti drug people as have lost friends and family to drugs and for those people i dispise drug dealers/pushers.

[MATT BATEMAN (OWC)]

I feel a video coming on 

[windiewasher]

This is a wind up. There is a Richard Wiltshire who has beed done for drugs but he is 34 from West Essex and unemployed.  Are you sure Richy is not just on holiday? 

Its true but doesnt get in the papers till a week after being sentenced.
That was another richard wiltshire.
Im friends with him on facebook.i presume his mates havent realised whats happened to him yet.

[MATT BATEMAN (OWC)]

It might take a week to get into print but it doesn't 2 minutes to make any news reporting website. Keep up!

[formb]

Is this real?

Surely not.

Really?

Nah?

[dazmond]

well,well,well.any of you from the late eightes/early nineties generation?with acid house parties,stone roses,happy mondays,the hacienda etc?WE HAD A BALL!!many drugs were taken,minds were lost,LSD,coke,ecstasy,speed,weed etc,etc.

BUT!the party had to end somewhere.i had my first line of cocaine at 17 and loved it!but coupled with all the other drugs and booze by the time i was 30 my life was really messed up and i was ill both mentally and physically.luckily i sought help and i have a much happier stable life now at 41 years old.clean and sober.

cocaine taken regularly over time destroys your natural high.i had some very deep bouts of depression in my twenties where i seriously thought of suicide.i still have the odd bout of mild depression but it doesnt affect my life too much these days.also you really dont know what your taking.its mixed in back street home made labs and cut up with all sorts of dodgy crap.

once a stopped taking the illegal drugs around my mid twenties my drinking got worse and worse and i ended up an alcoholic.

im very lucky cos i really wanted to change and sought help.its took me 10 years to rebuild my life and be happy in my own skin.its an ongoing thing.

hopefully richy sees the error of his ways and cleans himself up inside.but dont bank on it.MOST DONT!unless you really want to change.

regards

Maybe I used the wrong words, and for that I apologise, but to portray drug dealers as only being there due to those wanting to buy drugs sends out a wrong type of principal.

It sends out a message that those who get hooked on drugs are responsible for those that sell the drugs selling them in the first place.

Drug dealing is illegal where as drug taking isn't. It's that way round for a reason.

Once a person is addicted they will always find a dealer. It's about the person not starting to take drugs in the first place. With no dealers, there's no addiction that ends up with the addict having to find a dealer.

We've reached a sad state now in our society that drug dealers have almost become an accepted part of life to the extent where society has to try and persuade kids never to start taking drugs as the answer to the drug dealing problem and people like Richy Wilts have just made a 'mistake'.

Sorry, I don't go along that view.

I suppose I was getting at the different types of drugs; and even drink.
People with real addictions will use anything to get through the day. If a type of drug is no longer available, they'll use something else. They will use legal drugs and that includes drink.
As Paul Coleman said, we need more awareness. It's no good saying 'drugs are evil' and someone tries them and thinks 'no, they're not; that made me feel good'.
Drugs, drink, cigarettes etc. can make you feel good- for a while- but they can also ruin your life.
I just think addicts create dealers more than dealers create addicts.

[windiewasher]

To be fair the dealers sre the clever ones,they know not to take drugs.

Not so much if they get banged up for 3 years and loose everything...

[CLEANCARE WC]

I used to take cocaine and like many drug users thought i was only hurting myself. It was thinking about all the potential murders involved in getting that cocaine to me that made me stop, not to mention the misery caused to the addicts and even more to thier familys.

[dazmond]

im going for a swim soon followed by some lentil soup and olive bread.then ill puff away on my e cig and go to an AA meeting tonight to try and help other alcoholics/addicts find a way out.this is about as rocknroll as i get these days!

illegal drugs and booze are just poison for a guy like me.some people can do both for years without slipping into addiction and misery.who knows why some people do and some dont?

as for richy.well this might be the best thing that could happen to him seriously!


best wishes to you all

[dave0123]

So is this all true or just a big wind up

Whats going to happen to his work then? family taking it over? if it comes out in paper news will spread customers will drop him.

no it is true
has far as i know its been left in the hands of others, father / father -in-law and employees, i believe
as in previous post,help was offered by m

Then he must of been shifting a lot to get put inside for three years, family looking after business was a bad step in my eyes should have let one of you guys do it even if you all took 100% of any profit, its going to go down hill now .. if customers find out too that wont help.


someone said he thinks hes been inside before.. probably if his dads still standing buy him.. still carrying on like normal before he got sentenced sounds to me like familiar ground.

Funny thing is he bangs on on his facebook page about being professional and hes fed up all these "scum" window cleaners who charge 3 quid for beer money and claiming dole money............. but he's dealing drugs? THAT'S EVEN WORSE

[roundbuilder]

Dazmond is a pure example of the after effects of being a druggy. He forgets that he has told us what equipment he has and what poles he has in every other post and He would rather price higher and work harder in he's tagline instead of working smarter.

Only joking daz. Keep up the good work.

My money is on that richy is on holiday and this is a windup and all the local lads near him are in on it but we will see soon i guess.
