Warren is currently serving 13 years for trying to smuggle cannabis into

Jersey. A Serious Crime Prevention someone like him would find it very

hard to be the big scale drug dealer he was in years past. It might mean

he could only have one bank account allowed to carry up to £1,000 in

to the order, there's still a lot of negotiating to do on what exactly

it'll entail. They might argue about how many times he has to report

it'll entail. They might argue about police station. There was a figure

of £300 million. Remind us of the scale of his crimes. His current

jail sentence is for a crime he started on just weeks after being

released from jail in Holland in 2007. He served 11 years there after

Dutch police seized a massive haul of heroin concealed in metal ingots.

to wintering birds they could only be on the site for half the year.

Cuadrilla says that just wasn't workable. The view at the time was

operationally. We have found that difficult to do because operations

do not start on the day you think they are going to start. Pink—footed

geese come to places like the Fylde Morecambe during winter to forage

for food. They're joined by whooper swans. Both species are protected by

European legislation. Put simply, they don't thrive alongside people

and vehicles. So what does this they don't thrive alongside people

for Cuadrilla? We are confident they don't thrive alongside people

it, it's good news for anti—fracking campaign groups, but they know this
