I was fortunate enough to get judge in chambers, which is where you apply to get off remand.

And I was taken off remand after a period of time.

How long was you on remand for?

It was just over two weeks originally.

But of course, when I came out,

Business has gone because it's not long been set up.

Two weeks makes a big difference when you're trying to set up a business.

There was all kinds of issues because of the charge.

And don't forget, the conviction hadn't been, well, not the conviction, but the charge hadn't been wiped off.

They were still charging me with this.

And it went on for two years.

In the end, I said to the judge, went to a hearing, and I says, look, I've got the guns.

Here's the receipt.

The police haven't been to where I bought the guns.

If I had a legal gun, surely they would get raided and shut down.

So the judge said, okay, well, let's have an independent report.

At that point, the police produced a report, says, oh, sorry, we found this.

They had it 16 days after my arrest, which shows that you could buy the guns anywhere, you know, in the UK.

So effectively, because it goes through the Crown Court, it shows as a charge.

So the judge quashed those charges out, but it took two years.
