Polish factory worker jailed for blackmailing his British employer

news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/wales/south_west/7109465.stm

that is what happen when Poles try to play smart !!! he he what losers

fukin ell... if youre gonna blackmail the firm you work for at least make it worth your while... weres the ambition...!?!

BubbaWoo, I was thinking the exact same thing. And if you're gonna blackmail, for chist's sakes, make sure you really got something.

its a really weird figure - i wonder why he was so specific in the amount he wanted - maybe we are getting it all wrong and he wanted to pay for his grandmother to have an operation or something

well if that's the case then he's A-ok in my books. Hmm maybe he can sell his story and make some of the lost ransome back.

It's such an exact figure that perhaps it was a debt he owed to someone else...and thought that this was the best way to get the money and fast...

me too

The scenario would be OK with me too...

It's Burkiewicz LOL! English people can't even read!

- It appears he's not English, but Scottish. And hate-filled one too. I wonder if the Polish guy really 'faked' the photos, or if the photos were genuine but the friendly court, ahem, just took the side of one of their own? We know what hygiene standards are in some workplaces in UK. Four years, it's a very harsh sentence.


- I think he misspelled it on purpose, as creatures of this sort often do, in order to show his contempt for the Poles. The remedy: misspell his name.

:)

Whether or not the photos were genuine,he blackmailed for sure.I do not think english courts put up with that.

I see that some members of this forum just wait for events like this one ... LOL

- How about the following scenario: the company didn't pay the guy what they had promised, ripped him off on the specific sum: £11,770. The guy tried to get it back legally, but in vain. In his despair, he threatened them he was going to publish GENUINE photos of the meat plant. The company management, frightened of scandal and losses, cleaned the mess he photographed, took him to court, got expensive lawyers, etc. The Polish guy, who had been ripped off by the company thieves, was additionally thrown in jail. And the media psychopaths, and some hate-filled Polonophobes on the internet chatsites, are vilifying him now. What kind of justice would that be? :)

The conditions the Polish people work in some places in UK are gross. The Polish press - but not the UK press - is full of reports on the subject.


- Wouldn't you think English courts, as many other courts, put up with different people differently, depending on who these people are? I remember reading in the book about Led Zeppelin,'Hammer of the Gods,' Jimmy Page was once caught with heroine (?) on him, but the judge let him go, because he knew that if he locked him up Britain (British government) would lose lots of money from sales of LZ music.

This was in Wales. The judicial system is the same in England and Wales. In Scotland things work differently.


Probably not because the judge was a Led Zeppelin fan. Not in those days, but sometimes they know when not to make a martyr of someone like that. Remember the 'Butterfly on a wheel'.

how about the following scenario: the guy is not only a crook but an inept one at that

maybe he was one of those tw@ts sacked from the poultry farm for playing football with live geese last year.....or were they stiched up by hate filled polonaphobe media monsters as well......just sounds like a typical no brain chav to me,could have been a scouser could have been moscaly ,still a loser but lost as to why his Polishness was picked on(not really,noimmigration seems a bedKNOB with nothing better to do than trawl mail orderbride sites ,or "bullying poles...couldnt bully his way out of a wet paper bag more like...)
