Talkback callers to the Andrew Dickens Afternoons Show expressed anger and disappointment over the way drug-smuggler and gang associate Karel Sroubek has been treated, with many believing he deserves a stronger punishment. 

Ian Lees-Galloway has been under pressure since it emerged he granted residency to Sroubek, even though Sroubek was found guilty of using a fake passport and is currently serving a prison term for smuggling MDMA.

Caller Henry told Andrew Dickens he thinks it is another example of the government making decision on a whim.

“If the Immigration Minister had just been open with the information he had at the time, this wouldn’t of blown up in his face."

Jeff believes that Lees-Galloway deserves to face some sort of punishment for the way he handled the case

“ My view is this guy should be sent back to the Czech Republic, preferably handcuffed to Lees-Galloway .
