Bad decision

I'm extremely disappointed that the European Court has ruled against the idea of being able to buy drink and cigarettes from other EU countries by phone or over the net without having to pay UK tax on them. Quite apart from the obvious financial aspect, this is yet another example of the blatant discrimination which continually exists in this country against anyone living to the north of Watford. If you live in the south-east, it's no problem to hop across the channel and take advantage of the cheap prices over there, but for those of us here in the Midlands, and even more for those living further north, it's something not to be undertaken lightly. And what about the disabled or housebound? Here was a chance to level the playing field, and they've muffed it. I do wonder if Gordon Brown twisted a few arms!
