Cannabis farmer

Ben Turner

THIS is Chinese immigrant Ah Tong Lin, a man discovered working as a cannabis ‘farmer’ behind the closed curtains of a seemingly normal Macclesfield semi-detached house.

Lin, who made a seven-month journey to arrive in Britain, spent his working day tending to hundreds of ‘skunk’ plants grown with the aid of powerful lights.

His story gives a fascinating insight into the lives of the people put to work in the ‘factories’ that supply Britain’s insatiable demand for cannabis.

   If anyone believes this sob story they must have rocks in their head. Deport him immediately or let him face the full wrath of our law - in which case he will probably be given a play station and taken away for a weeks holiday somewhere.
