🤦‍♂️🇬🇧And here we go again — another day, another man caught with a car boot full of fake fags and cash. Adnan Abdullah, the Houdini of illegal tobacco, has pulled off yet another vanishing act from justice — only this time it’s the system doing the disappearing trick. Despite being deported twice, caught multiple times, and just finishing a prison sentence, Abdullah was back behind the wheel, this time chauffeuring 60,000 illegal cigarettes through Swansea like it was a Marlboro Marathon.

Picture the scene: Abdullah, weeks out of prison, cruising in a car registered to someone else, £2,600 in cash tucked under a pile of jackets — because nothing screams “innocent errand” like hiding 3,800 packets of counterfeit smokes under your laundry.

Police stop him. Surprise! It’s the same man they already caught twice before. He mumbles about borrowing the car from a guy in Bristol (as one does), then goes full “no comment” mode — the unofficial national anthem of repeat offenders. 🎤🚬

And what happens? Another 12 months in prison, half of which he’ll serve before getting another licence to… reoffend. A 10-year criminal behaviour order — because paper bans always stop career criminals, right? Meanwhile, somewhere in a government inbox, a deportation order is probably doing the conga with all the others marked “pending since 2014.”

It’s not so much justice as it is déjà vu with paperwork.

When does “enough” finally mean enough? Should serial offenders like Abdullah face automatic deportation — or is Britain’s legal system too busy writing polite letters to itself? Drop your fury, your sarcasm, or your most creative solution in the comments. 💬💥
