"In the eyes of the Tribunal the review letter contained several preconceptions, prejudgments and non-sequiturs"
"the absurdity of this reason is demonstrated by simply stating it"
"We therefore find that Mr Sked misdirected himself as to the Policy in carrying out the review and his decision is therefore one that no reasonable review officer could have arrived at."
... commonly known here at N2D as 'Skeds' ... that is to say these are Judges comments regarding UKBA Review Officer Ian Sked's reasons for rejecting peoples appeals against seizures.
Comments are now moderated to keep out spam and those with malicious intent. The author of this blog is not liable for the content of any comments ... period!
The sad thing is some morons will see it as smoking going down by 25%. Unfortunately these morons are politicians and tobacco control who make these decisions.

ReplyDeleteHow much is a packet of cigarettes in Spain now?
ReplyDeleteIn fact, Spain as a destination isn't cheap for anything these days. There are other places worthier of your cash.
Paul ... no idea how much. Spain has been off my destination list for a few years now. lt will obviously remain so.
ReplyDeleteEverybody that I know who smokes used to always go on holiday to Spain and also stock up on cigarettes and tobacco.
ReplyDeleteNobody I know either goes to Spain for a holiday or goes there to but cigarettes and tobacco.
No wonder the country is skint !!!
Everyone l know has bailed on Spain for holidays and baccy. Loads going to Sunny Beach now. Commies getting all the trade lol
ReplyDeleteSmoking ban also hit hard. My friend sold up (at a loss), he said the Spanish were targeting the British bars for the smoking ban yet leaving the Spanish ones alone. l've known him for years and he doesn't make things up.
ReplyDeleteCrazy isn't it? We are in economic crap and our respective governments are killing businesses.
Not like Spain hasn't got any financial problems at the moment is it? You would have thought they would have learnt from Blair's mistakes....
ReplyDeletePerhaps it's time smokers' groups began greeting every proposed tax increase as the positive move for the black market tobacco business that it is.
ReplyDeleteAs l understand it, the black market treats the smoker as a valued customer.
ReplyDeleteOr perhaps it is about time the smokers around Europe got together and created their own lobbying group.
ReplyDeleteahh
sorry
forget that, we don't have the cash and brown paper bags.
