hes the one making the mountain whining about it probably so he can sell some story to the magazines
Here's a question:
If you were in his position and your wife had just died, what would you do?
I doubt you'd just shrug and take it on the chin.
Harsh but true!Got no sympathy for him really. Do the crime and do the time.
What's the difference between Andrew Strauss and Jack Tweed?
Jack Tweed will be the only one with Ashes on his mantlepiece in the summer.
most people are probably riled up a bit because hes making it seem like he isnt allowed to go when its obvious the chances are he will be allowed.Lets just clarify things for the Crim-hating brigade in this thread.
EVERY convict has the right to apply for compassionate release from prison to attend the funeral of their Father, Mother, Spouse or Children and only these closest of relatives. This will granted unless the person is deemed to be an immediate threat to the public or at high risk of escape.
Just because you don't like the guy and just because he is (quite rightly) going to jail soon doesn't mean the poor sod shouldn't be allowed to go to the funeral of the wife he has just lost.
Jeez - there are some uncompassionate gits on this forum some times.
Well maybe he shouldn't go clubbing people over the head with golf clubs and attacking taxi drivers.
To think he only served four months of his first eighteen month sentence!
Poor musunderstood chap!
Let him go to the funeral, then whack him in the box at the end. What difference does it make?
It's still not nice to miss your wife's funeral though.
Jack Tweed = ****
I only hope he sorts himself out now as he has a lot more responsibilities now looking after those children!
He isn't looking after the children (I believe)... Just the £8,000,000...

They're obviously not just letting people out for every 'important event' though are they? Get a grip. I'm not saying that Tweed has any more right than other prisoners who have had spouses die whilst serving time, but other prisoners haven't had these bizarre events surrounding them, or the media banging on their door.
Will it hurt -- considering they already allowed the wedding to go ahead -- to let him see her off? No. It's not as if her death was unexpected is it?
Mountain out of a damn molehill.
They are not his children.
