  3. He’s from Glossop, 40 years in a Middle Eastern hell hole is nothing to him.

  5. But… but… he’s pregnant and still a teenager! We shouldn’t allow him to be locked up in a foreign prison for such a minor “crime”!

  6. Seems like an open and shut case tbh in a country notorious for it’s harsh stance on drug crimes. What the fuck did he expect to happen if he got caught selling drugs there?

  8. It’s quite simple – don’t smuggle drugs, especially through countries that have strict drug laws.

  9. When will people learn , other countries do not share the UKs cushy sentences , if you are a drug smuggler maybe just avoid the Middle East altogether or you may end up joining this bloke .

  10. I get the feeling someone with a Swallow face tattoo isn’t the best at making good decisions.

  11. Good. Buhbye buddy. Enjoy life in a Middle Eastern jail!

  12. I have no sympathy for people who smuggle drugs in foreign countries

  13. Is the headline being sympathetic to him just because he’s a father? It doesn’t matter. You smuggle drugs to a country where they have strict laws you get locked up. They don’t care if you are a father of 1 or 20.

  16. I do like a story that points out someone is a parent, as though perhaps they’re not a bad person. My take is that surely they should be setting a better example perhaps.

    Anyway, let’s move on – clearly not accretive to society generally.

  17. I reject this headline. He is first a smuggler then a father. Not the other way around. Based on his priorities.
    Stop with this emotional manipulation.

  18. Just don’t go to Dubai. Oh, but better yet, don’t go to Dubai with fucking cocaine. Is he stupid?

  19. He’s going to have to get used to being someone else’s daddy now

  20. Quick, HONEST summary of this shite article.

    He emigrated 3 years ago to “start a business” and got caught by police who arrested a “customer” of his who had coke on him. they then used his phone to ask for more…

    He brought 2 grands worth of coke, didn’t have to scratch about finding it, didn’t take 3 hours getting hold of some…

    Now he’s getting the standard punishment in that country.

    He fucked off from his daughter to be a drug dealer in Dubai.

    Tough shit dude, you fucked up.

  24. What a Wally. Half of his life gone over a bag of powder.

  29. “They believed a customer, who Dorman had sold drugs to, had been apprehended by the police.

    They claimed police then took his phone and messaged the tattoo artist, in a bid to pretend to be the buyer and asked for more.  

    ‘Sam stupidly went and the police were waiting. At this point he was nabbed,’ they added.”

    It’s funny when you see police doing actual police work in tracking down criminals, you couldn’t even imagine Police in UK bothering to do this.

  30. Why would someone so hooked on coke they couldn’t survive a couple of weeks without it decide to go to Dubai of all places ? He could of stuck it up his arse on gone to Ibiza where nobody gives a fuck 🤷‍♂️

  32. Think he deserves it for that neck and face tattoo alone

  34. It’s made to look dubai are the dicks here? Reality is that most of us would prefer to see more of this here too. Legal system has failed let alone losing the war on drugs

  35. Swallow Tattoo near his eye. Eye Swallow? We can ask him 40 years.

  36. He made 3 mistakes:

    1. He went to Dubai
    2. He tried to deal drugs
    3. He got caught

    CONSEQUENCES

    Goodbye drug dealing scum, enjoy your holiday!

  37. Maybe if the UK had harsh sentences for crimes we’d have less crime.

    This guy looks like a video game caricature of a drug dealer. That swallow tattoo next to the eye is a crime in itself.

    Never ceases to amaze me how stupid people are to travel to somewhere like the UAE and start dealing drugs.

  38. What was he expecting? A slap on the wrist!?

    It’s not like there’s zero information out there on the UAE’s zero tolerance policies. There are amazing opportunities and quality of life over there for people who live in accordance with the law.

    Do the crime and do the time.
