Imagine telling someone 50 years ago that doorknobs would be banned. We have become a Swiftian satire made flesh.

Manchester Evening News( one of the Guardians runts) reports a big hit on Tobacco smugglers, reporting £5 million quids worth of dodgy baccy.
Sadly for the authorities this only represents a few days trading in the North West as more and more "traders" arrive from the 4 corners of the earth (legal and illegal) The police and HMRC are naturally on a loser as they have to be carefull when dealing with "minorities"otherwise the Guardian/BBC/Labour
ethnic junta would be after their scalps. Even fag smugglers have human rights, for the time being.

Not for safety reasons, either, which adds a whole new dimension to it. Bizarre.

The bleach was reading the dented egos in the comments. So many snobs utterly owned, it was a delight.
