Not that I think its a suitable punishment for Max Clifford - he should be made to pongo-stick over the M25 at rush hour.

I like the bit about European drug firms cutting off the supply. Surely they have plenty of local ones that are tried and tested.

I think there was one european supplier of the drugs. I will need to google the actual news reports from last year but from memory it was someone in a Semi in Wembley...
