'A mum who turned in her drug-dealer son wept as he faced jail yesterday.
Ex-public schoolboy Alexander Bull, 20, admitted selling cannabis from his student hall of residence after she gave police evidence.

He arrived at court with mum Ruth, whom he lives with in a Central London flat, to be told he could be in prison for Christmas.

Ruth, 46, who works in banking, discovered he was dealing at Oxford Brookes University. She gave police his laptop and phone, which contained customer lists and references to buying up to a kilo of cannabis at £3,000.

Police raided his room and found bags of cannabis and further evidence of dealing. Prosecutors did not accept his claim he was only supplying friends. Judge Peter Clarke QC at Blackfriars crown court said: "There should be an assumption of a custodial sentence. That is something I will review."

Ruth, whose flat is near Regent's Park, watched as his guilty pleas to herbal cannabis dealing and cocaine possession were accepted after he denied cocaine and cannabis resin dealing. He will be sentenced on December 13.'

What a sad story.
The mom believes the propaganda, and therefore that her own son, who is dealing cannabis, is evil (since he provides people with a substance that makes them get silly and appreciate food and music).

She therefore does the "moral" thing by turning him in, despite the potential relevance of something called "family loyalty".

The son goes to jail for helping people get high.

The mother-son relationship is irrevocably damaged or destroyed.

Don't believe the propaganda, folks. Don't destroy your own family for such petty reasons.

What an absolute joke!

well put slim.
just another sad story...

wow thats fucked up bet his mom regrets that shit now.

either the kid was gangsta, 20 year old public school boy at oxford uni? i don't think so! or the weed was fucking crap quality for that price, i'd bet my last £1 on it being the latter. we can't really discuss price on BL but lets just say that good weed costs more than that in the UK.

Sad story, as a mom or father, you sit your kids down, tell them to stop what they are doing if you dont like it & you discipline them yourselves. Sad to see stories like this but like Slim stated, she was brainwashed by the propaganda.

what a cunt

if my mother turned me in, i'd probably have gone away for a longggggggggggggg time

That's fucked up, what a fucking bitch.

That is very sad... Slim said everything that needs to be said, except...

He was a bit of an idiot -

She gave police his laptop and phone, which contained customer lists and references to buying up to a kilo of cannabis at £3,000

I'd make her bail me out and run the fuck outta the country
