    The girls caught smuggling coke from Ghana

    Sounds like one of them is Vicki Pollard - from the bbc news:

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/6897139.stm

    One of the girls told Channel 4 News on Thursday night they were tricked into carrying drugs to London.

    Speaking by telephone from prison in Accra, she said: "There were basically two boys over here who gave us two bags and told us... it was an empty bag

    "We never thought anything bad was inside... and they told us to go to the UK and drop it off to some boy... at the airport."

    "It was basically like a set-up. They didn't tell us nothing, we didn't think nothing, 'cos basically we are innocent.

    "We don't know nothing about this drugs and stuff."

      Think Ghana need to take a leaf out of UK airport check in staff. One simple question could have been asked that would have solve all the poor innocent girls problems. "Did you pack the bag yourself" I look forward to these high security questions in a weeks time.
      Thats the way the cookie crumbles

        I saw this on C4 news last night, why would anyone give you a free holiday and then ask you to carry an empty bag 4,000 miles?? ...yeh right itchy chin me thinks.
        Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

            Is that what you used to say in school?

            Round my way it was either "Jimmy Hill!" or "Chinny Reckon!" whilst stroking your chin.

              Yeah you didn't suspect a thing, muppets. They deserve to be locked up for being fecking morons if that is true (Which i doubt very much).

              Also WTF are the parents doing? Thought they were on a school trip and didn't know they were in Ghana??

                How do you pack an empty bag?

                  They should be imprisoned for their constant use of double-negatives let alone the drugs.

                    At least they'll be able to entertain all the lags in Accra prison with their witty Vicki Pollard impressions.
