Is this the most high profile criminal conviction in recent times here?
Sadly yes â If we had any competent politicians a number of high profile bastards should have been on trial for financial crimes over the last few years but we donât put in for that kind of thing here.

He tried to top himself.
That really shows how sorry he is.
