http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/11/29 ... _business/The Home Office has admitted that police plans to force a 76 per cent hike in the cost of a firearm certificate will cost firearms dealers alone £700,000, with gamekeepers and vets being smacked with a further £2.8m in government-imposed fees.
A consultation on the proposed increase in firearms fees, issued earlier this week, reveals the cost to businesses of the police campaign to jack up the fees payable for a firearm or shotgun certificate.
Just realised I forgot to change the figure in the URL. Bugger, too late now!
Anyway, the headline figure is drawn from the Home Office's own figures. Nothing quite like being crapped on by civil servants in pursuit of a political agenda, is there?
Sadly the Brit sheeple don't care. Political vindictive spite and nowt else.
