How to deal with the EU

From the Register: The European Court of Justice has ruled that boozers and smokers looking to get cut-price deals from countries with lower rates of duty will not be able to buy the stuff online. Punters will have to continue the time-honoured "booze cruise" tradition and "accompany the goods back themselves".

The judges declared that "only products acquired and transported personally by private individuals are exempt from excise duty in the member state of importation". Great for the Treasury and ferry firms but stuff the little man and his wife.

Wonderful organization, the EU, so vital for the successful operation of Britain plc, so concerned for the rights of the ordinary citizen – not. The tossers, the absolute horses’ backsides, the excremental emissions!! Look, let’s just get out of this uber-corrupt organization right now.

Vote for anyone, even Tarquin Fintimlimbimlimbimwhimbimlin Bus Stop Ftang Ftang Olay Biscuit Barrel if necessary or at a pinch, Kevin Phillips Bong but let’s just get out now. Agreed?
