Are you so unbalanced you have to try to have a pop at Labour in a thread which has absolutely nothing to do with them?.

Really does highlight quite a strong bias on your part.

Bias against the Labour party is a laudable personal quality.

Betting is not a similar risk/reward. That's a silly comparison that doesn't work.

Why do manned space flight, is it to dangrous for the reward?
Why join the army, you get shot at.
Why do extrem sports, especially in the early days.

Some have even less reward and same risk than drug snuggling.

Glaucus has to be an elaborate troll, no one could actually have an autocorrect so bad that it's actually worse than l337 speak.

All of Lindsay Sandiford's appeals have been rejected and her execution is apparently only 'days away':

Her only hope now is the President gives her clemency/a pardon but by all accounts he takes a hard line to this type of crime.

(For those who aren't familiar with the story: A British women was caught by the Bali Police with nearly 5Kg of Cocaine in her possession in 2012. She was found guilty of drug smuggling and has been sentenced to death. Her defence was she was black mailed as her children had been threatened.)

Indeed.
There was a four year hiatus on the execution of drug traffickers, but in the last year of the previous presidents term they started executing them again, as trafficking seemed to have increased.
The current president has been stamping out corruption within his own government, as a regional leader, then as governor of the main city Jakarta, and now as president from his inauguration.
His hard line view on this, is more a consistent view about enforcing policies that exist, and not pandering to bribes and other influences. He has recently 'not' pardoned Brazilians and a man from the Netherlands, along with a host of other foreign nations found guilty and having admitted to drug trafficking.
This UK lady admitted her guilt, she also criticised the British government for not paying for her legal teams. Which is us being consistent in providing counsellor support while aboard, but not providing legal protection.
It would seem very likely she will be brought to the jungle and shot soon. Details will be reported after her execution.

On every boarding pass and landing card it makes it clear the penalty is death. They also announce this on every flight. If she had been setup there may be mitigation or sympathy, but she admitted the offence and said she did it willingly to help her son.
 
TBH, anyone in her position, may just be better off with the death penalty. Its not as if she's going to be lying on the beach for her remaining days. She'll either be in a very harsh prison for the rest of her days, suffering every single day or resting in peace.

I personally think I'd prefer the latter.
