To think Laura Plummer is naive at best, a bit stupid at worst?

[incywincyspide]

She's just on GMB and doesn't really have any answer for anything apart from 'I don't know'.

Surely she knew it was odd to have that amount of tramadol given to her from someone other than her doctor?

*Ffs so many judgy pants on here. He has back pain and can't get the meds to help him, they are available on prescription here so she takes over enough to last him.
Tramadol is not such a big deal in the UK, thousands are on it. *

Are you actually serious?
They are prescription, big clue in your own comment, only available to thr prescribed person!
Shes lucky she’s not been done for smuggling and she deserves to be in trouble here, its hard enough for people with actual reasons to be on this to get a prescription, oh yes, i am judging!

She also had over a months worth, so how her ‘friend’ has managed with out, i do wonder

Since when has it been the NHS's responsibility to medicate the world. No wonder it is in a dire mess if friend is able to get and amass the amount of pills she gave away to this woman to pass on her bf.

He said he had back pain. There is a massive black market for drugs like Tramadol, Codeine and Dihydrocodeine both here and abroad.

The 'husband' wasn't arrested as he hasn't found in possession of drugs and she was the one caught with them.

Tramadol is a very big deal here.

It is a controlled drug and highly addictive.

I travel with several medications including 3 that are on the controlled list. I take the correct number of tablets, my prescription and a letter off my GP saying I can carry it, and on top of that check, check and check again. That the meds I’m taking can be taken into the country I’m visiting. Yet I still shit myself at the airport!!

She knew what she was doing! No one can be that stupid?!...... can they??

I think her story, just like the story of the Peru Two shows the underlying racism and feeling of supremacy in the British society. Poor Brits suffering in horrific conditions of the Third World prisons only to become heroes when they triumphantly return to civilisation.
She will be on some reality show soon, with the tabloids updating their grateful readers on her daily life.
And I believe she knew what she was doing was illegal but she doesn't have the intellect to carry it off in a smart way. One of those who see themselves as the heroes for fooling the system but not smart enough to get away with that. But I can imagine many will sympathise with her because she committed the crime in a country considered inferior to Britain.

Must have had a really bad back

Thick as mince. Anyone with half a brain knows tramadol is heavy duty and not something you can pick up on boxes of 250 at Boots.

Since when did everyone here start respecting the random laws of other countries?

When you travel to that country and don't want to fall foul of the law?

I had to take my prescribed meds into a ME country recently.

Quite - I take a very innocuous daily medication (thyroxine) and also have a blue inhaler. There is no way on earth I'd travel without the tablets at least in the original pharmacy packaging showing exactly what they are and with my name and address on them. And that's just thyroid medication!!

However there are a lot of spectacularly dim people out there.

What on earth does this mean??

She was trafficking a Class C drug obtained by a fraudulent presecription.

Should be locked up

She was

I don't think you can pick up any drug in those amounts. I tried to buy 3 packets of innocuous over-the-counter Ibuprofen a while ago and was told sorry, the maximum they could sell at a time was two packets. And this is Ibuprofen!

Yup - any Brit banged up abroad is automatically innocent, especially if they are a passably attractive young woman.

Imagine if the roles were reversed and a Middle Eastern woman - or man - was caught bringing in large amounts of an illegal drug to the UK? I doubt anyone would feel too sorry for them.

Just watching the GMB interview on YouTube. She knew exactly what she was doing. She isn't stupid. She knows what to say during this interview

I think she’s probably thick as mince and naive, which is a combination that leaves her wide open to being exploited. But I don’t believe that she didn’t know that taking tramadol into Egypt was illegal.

I don't think anyone thought the Peru Two were innocent for one moment. They knew exactly what they were doing.

She's not v bright. Who "marries" someone in another country and still lives separate lives?! It's like those women who marry prisoners in death row in the US! (Cue Catherine Tate sketch)
It's all a bit bonkers!

Definitely thick. And knew what she was about but probably underestimated the gravity of the offence.

Expect to see her on the next installment of reality TV. She’d probably cope quite well with the confinement factor of CBB or IACGMOOF.

Just watched it on youtube, it's been edited :-( She said she didn't know what the tablets were then later said she told security in the airport they were tramadol. She's not very educated but not SEN/Low IQ. Her non-verbal signs indicate lying along with the fragmented answers, repeating questions and repeated attempts to get Piers on-side. The woman that sold them to her knew what she was selling, she is the drug dealer.

Why 290 not 300? Had Laura used the other 10?

”It’s just like... somebody I knew from work.”

Yeah, your dealer. 🙄

Just when she thought her suffering was over, Piers Morgan and Breakfast TV were waiting... 🤢

She's not stupid - she's a drug trafficker - some countries have the death penalty for that - drug trafficking. She just got caught.

Not long enough in prison in my opinion. My family has been directly affected by people like her, who bring drugs and not care who is on the receiving end. It just money to make.

What gets me is if you were in touch with your bf you might suggest him asking his dr for tramadol.

If he couldn’t get it the next question would be Why?
The answer being it is banned in Egypt

Or if that wasn’t the answer he gave just a bit of googling to see where in Egypt he could get tramadol from and it would show it is a banned drug.

Mind you the whole family sound a little naive. I could never understand why they wanted the person she got them from to come forward to show that they had got them through a prescription.
Never quite worked out why that would make a difference.

Apparently Laura can’t “wait to see” her old pal. 😄

But yes, I agree. In what way would dropping the supplier in the shit with police in the UK possibly have helped Laura?

The dealer didn’t force LP to try to run a large quantity of a controlled substance into a country where it was banned. 🤷‍♀️ That was all on her.

Not long enough in prison. It's ridiculous she got a pardon without admitting guilt or showing remorse. I'm assuming the Foreign Office asked the Egyptian government to do it but god knows why.
My theory is she was doing it to fund her regular trips to Egypt to see her 'husband'.
