Are we actually under one of them - if not a pair?

This concerns people flying to New York - returning with pressies etc.. perhaps valued aboved the £145 individual non- taxable limit ..

"We have been urged to step up our stop and searches of people and where they have been too greedy, take appropriate action. That could mean seizing the goods, levying fines or even prosecution."
The Customs source admitted: "There are many, many people who are simply ignorant of having to pay duty - it is not a question of wilfully avoiding paying up."

When will it end? Everywhere one reads/hears 'You will be fined' 'you may go to prison', the buqqers doing the fining and imprisonment can barely do the jobs - for which we pay 'em... Can this be Britain??

Who ever heard of such a thing!!!
