Illegal tobacco seized in Kent Print
14th May 2021
Kent County Council Trading Standards officers, with the support of Kent Police and immigrations teams, have targeted illicit tobacco sellers in Margate and Ramsgate.
Operation CeCe – a National Trading Standards initiative in partnership with HMRC to tackle illegal tobacco – revisited premises previously identified as selling illicit tobacco were revisited this week, resulting in 724 packs of cigarettes and 8kg of hand-rolling tobacco seized from four shops on Tuesday (11 May) and a further 169 packets of cigarettes and 5kg of hand-rolling tobacco seized from three shops on Wednesday (12 May).
In addition, the Immigration Service will be issuing fines to two workers and one shop was requested to shut as it was being staffed by individuals without the appropriate work status. About £1,500, believed to be the proceeds of crime, was seized by Kent Police.
Letters to the editor: Annoying council didn t listen on rubbish

I totally agree with what people are saying about our ill-conceived rubbish collection. One of the requirements of the council help for those who can t wheel their bins is that a doctor s endorsement is required at your cost, so it is not free as they advertise and they want you to sign that you allow them to discuss with your doctor about your medical condition.
That is a clear breach of your privacy. The council has annoyed me so much with not listening, that I am no longer mowing the grass outside the boundary, so if everyone that is dissatisfied with the council as I am, does the same, with a minute bit of luck they might notice that they have more lawns to mow and then with same minute amount of luck just maybe get the message from a visual prospective, or if you do mow them put their grass in their own bin to annoy.

Rotorua Daily Post I find it alarming that our illustrious servants in Wellington have decided to extend a wage freeze affecting the likes of health and education at a time when we are in a rebuilding phase following the financially punitive lockdowns of the past 15 months.
What are they thinking? Surely, it s fundamental in a rebuilding stage to have at least these two sectors performing with a sense that they are supported and appreciated.
Public gratitude displayed in flowers and encouraging emails puts no extra bread on the table.

Jennifer Lucy Allan takes apart Clive Phillips, Peter Blundell, and Dominic Goodman’s trio to unpick how they’ve built their distinctive no wave by negation, and gathered a small and dedicated fanbase on the way
Mosquitoes are a band best described through what they are not. They are no wave by negation; post punk but only at a push, and are more This Heat or DNA than Orange Juice. They are not rock or punk, although they have drums, guitar, bass and vocals; they are certainly not jazz, although like free improvisation there is an ambition to escape genre. They are like Mars in some respects, but make
