It was with interest I read the article in yesterday’s Press (House arrest, June 25) regarding the group in Portugal who were raided for playing bingo and getting into trouble with authorities.

If these same people were caught enjoying cannabis then there would be no problems as cannabis is, rightfully, legal in Portugal.

Yet in this country the situation is reversed.

Its a strange and often unfair world isn’t it?

• So it iS illegal to play bingo in bars in the Algarve I assume? Lots of police time and money has been spent to stake out these master criminals.

Shame the Portuguese police didn’t show as much diligence over the search for Madeleine McCann. Maybe if they had her parents would have the answers they so long for.
