‘The CV of a fantasist’
Trading as The Wee Tea Plantation, Robinson spun customers what Falkirk Sheriff Court heard were “elaborate lies” that he’d sold tea to Kensington Palace, played rugby for Blackheath, was a multi-millionaire, a landowner, a polymer scientist, had invented the “Bag For Life”, had served in the British Army in bomb disposal, had worked for the Obama administration in America on a maize project, had studied botany at Edinburgh University, and that his wife was a solicitor.
Prosecutors described this as “the CV of a fantasist”.
Lost his defence documents in a flood.... In da Nile imvho....
