Maybe I'm missing something here? When you enter an airport, aren't there lots of police around? And in South America, I imagine most of those police would be armed. Why did the two girls not go straight to the airport police and tell them that they're being forced to carry drugs in the bags? Why go all the way to the customs check? No criminal is going to risk a shoot-out with heavily-armed police in an airport terminal. Those two were leaving Peru, not entering it.
To me, the whole thing stinks to high heavens. But maybe that's just me.....

I understand everything you are saying, but if they are telling the truth, and as far as I can recall, both of them said that there was a threat made to them that their families would be killed if they did not comply and carry the bags through airport security. It's an interesting one.

But they had come into Peru from Spain, so their families weren't with them. It would be silly for South American criminals to threaten to hurt members oe families who live at other end of the world.
At the moment, I cannot see any scenario in which the girls would feel threatened while under the gaze of armed police

unless you believed that the police were currupted but then you would need the police to be currupted in a couple of juristrictions. I dont buy it. I think they are playing for mule status.

If she wants to have a home birth there is nothing stopping her. She just wants to have someone to sue if anything goes wrong.:rolleyes:

JonathanAnon

Good call Harry, interested to hear how she justifies this.

paudgenator

I like her when she's on the panel. She's doing a grand job on this interview which was recorded earlier today. But "live"....what's with all the smiling to camera?? She's a different persona!

CorsendonkX

Earth Mother Alert, bet she is one of those that goes off on one against women that don't or can't breast feed.

JonathanAnon

"Seek to have the birth outside of the jurisdiction"..

But that would defeat the purpose of having the HSE guarantee... This woman is hiding behind the whole "our women, our bodies" nonsense, which is really cynical. If she wants to risk a home birth, then it's HER risk, not the HSE's .. She expects to be able to ignore their advice YET hold them responsible if something goes wrong...

statesaver

Why is she putting unnecessary stress upon herself ?

JonathanAnon

She does know there's a plural of "woman", doesnt she?

take everything

Boylan is very impressive.

She's a midwife......she must use the word a million.times a week....yet she speaks like a neanderthal cave man........wooooman

JonathanAnon

I have a funny feeling that the HSE are gonna roll over and take the hit, sorry.. let the taxpayer take the hit on the legal costs..

take everything

I get the impression she's using the term "woman" in an earth-mother/gaia way.

Wouldn't be normal would it?

Jaysus Peter, she's got the google results in front of her.

CorsendonkX

This lady is just reading the research for the answer she wants.

Lady Chatterton

I'd prefer to be in the care of Peter Boylan anyday over this midwife.

JonathanAnon

I'd say Peter will be feeling the pain on the way home tonight.

Google:- holy scripture of the modern age.:D

I think the idea a home birth is great for both the woman and the baby.

Harry Angstrom

His final line was probably well rehearsed beforehand but still good.
