Goods news from Europe

For once sensible interferrence brussels, has stepped in to stop the UK from harassing shoppers, for years our Customs and Excise have wasted there efforts on hounding easy targets that is you and me,from going to france or belguim to purchase drinks and fags instead of concentrating on more serious drugs issues.
If we belong to europe we should have free passage and be able to travel without government agencies intruding in legal activities, perhaps our agencies could put more priority in to the things that matter like illegal immigration or people trafficing.
The Treasury might may save more by stopping illegal migration than, stopping ordinary people haveing some enjoyment in life with cheap fags and booze.

See Kent on Saturday

  1. What has changed? You have been able to bring back as much as you like for years so long as it is for personal use. Unfortunately there have been plenty who have abused this by reselling goods which is illegal making honest shoppers victims too. Don't blame customs, blame the bootleggers who have spoilt it for the rest.
