My mate jailed

Got what he deserves,those that smuggle tobacco smuggle other stuff also, be it drugs,people etc,so he's contributing to the suffering of others- if he doesn't want to pay tax then he should pi$$ off back to africa -i'm fed up of the lame excuses such as he's from a different culture etc-this is where its went wrong with this country.
no sympathy for him , he should be deported once his sentence is completed.

As to the chippy owner; looks to me like he made a pile of money selling smuggled bacco. What can you say? He basically broke the law and got caught.
I bet he paid tax on the proceeds of the chippy so that will help to pay for his stay inside.

It wouldn't matter if you only paid 2%....it's the principal....and by not paying that tax, however much it is, you'll be better off, so it stinks knowing that you pay and adhere to the law and others don't bother. Just think what you could buy yourself if you never paid your tax!

so when i do my 12 hour shift and get so tired that i forget which day it is i should do as he does just dont pay tax...
cool......
paying tax is pretty flipping annoying...
spose some folk have to do it.

It is a criminal offence not to pay taxes. Therefore, if he has not paid his taxes, he is a criminal.

It's that simple.


Remember that tax is what pays for every public service, so the NHS that our nation's binge-drinking youth (not all of us) abuse on a weekly basis, the police forces we rely upon to maintain law and order, the fire services who risk their lives to pull people from burning houses, and the Armed Services who exist to protect this country.
Paying taxes might be annoying, but they are a fact of life.

As they say, there are only two certainties in life, Death and Taxes.

If only i knew he kept wads of cash in the bushes of the back garden

women usually hide there money between the boobies, not in the bushes

I was thinking the same thing. I couldn't imagine leaving a spare pair of used undies under the bushes of fear they'd go missing!

I knew a girl who could pick up a tenner with her buttocks.

As for this chap.... sorry, no sympathy from me either. No matter how good his fish and chips.

love it, cigarettes 'smuggled' from Spain. ermmm i thaught that they were in the EU so you dont need to smuggle tobacco products any more.

still 2.5 years for tax envision is a bit harsh. he was serving his community by selling 'cheep fags' as far as i'm concerned. if the tax in this country was not so bleedin high to start with then there would not be a 'black market' for such goods. ooohhh wait are we allowed to say 'black market' any more or are the PC going to burst my door down in a minuet.

£700.000 is an awfully lot of cash to keep lying around though. the person must have not been very bright. he could have phoned and given me some of it. lol
