We are happy to include the following piece from Customs & Excise
though we should point out the situation has been created by the
loony Government

- The illegal resale of tax-free cigarettes, tobacco, beer, wine and spirits
in the UK affects everyone and benefits no-one.
- It threatens village shops and legitimate licenced businesses.
- The tax lost to the Government could be used for health and education.
