The net’s been closing in on Mr Tinkler for a long while, he’s used his money to delay the Carlisle Airport thing for as long as he could but it looks like the day of judgement is finally looming.
Will “fast eddie” be pitching for a Quaker Oates contract so as to acclimatyse “tink” to "porridge ■■ 
Bewick.
It is a civil case rather than a criminal case, so Tinkler won’t go to prison.
There won’t be enough low earners paying tax to pay benefits for those on £60k at this rate. 
Strange that Mr Elliot got some porridge on the back of Mr Tinkers statements yet Tinker won’t suffer that punishment himself if found guilty…
I wonder what Elliot hoped to gain by starting the whole thing?
