So much for independence and freedom from Europe, to discover that our government is now sticking it to us in VAT and import duties, well done the Tories, lets give these beauties another term in office why not.

Same for me on the other side of the Channel for a cabby hood lifter ordered at RimmerBros.
The amount of taxes is absolutely eye watering: for an item
£93.27 worth (without British VAT now) plus £15.85 shipping, I've to pay a surplus of
47€ (
£39.69)!
Despite my good maths - 20% French VAT of £93.27 gives
£18.65 only - UPS dare to demand £39.69 that is an extortion of
£21.04 more for... nothing actually understandable!
Hence for an item of
£93.27 worth the grand total actually paid is:
£148.81 at home! I'm gutted...
