Licence suspended at Russian bar Relax as men evicted from west Hull premises
THE men who ran a trouble-hit late-night Russian bar in central Hull have been evicted from the premises.
The move was revealed as councillors voted unanimously to suspend the premises licence of the Relax bar in Spring Bank for three months after police applied for a review.

An interim order to strip Jurijs Tuziks of his position as designated premises supervisor was also made permanent.
The review was triggered after a 32-year-old man suffered a fractured skull in an attack inside or close to the bar on New Year's Eve.

It followed a fight between Russian and Polish men inside the bar earlier that night.
Speaking at a council licensing sub-committee, Humberside Police solicitor Paddy Whur described the New Year's Eve assault as a "very serious incident".
He said: "The victim was left in a drug-induced coma as a result of a fractured skull."
Mr Whur said police had gathered evidence of "significant crime and disorder" at the bar on most weekends during the early morning hours.
He said: "Worryingly, none of it was being reported to the police by the company operating the premises."
After officers from the police licensing team submitted an application to review the bar's licence, they also took steps to temporarily remove Mr Tuziks' designation as bar supervisor.
No details of other assaults at the bar were made public at the hearing.
Instead, the sub-committee heard that police officers worked with the owners of the building who had leased the bar to Mr Tuziks and his associates.
Mr Whur said: "That lease has been terminated and the tenants have been removed from the premises."
He said the building's owners, Kensington Holdings, had co-operated closely with the police during the licence review process after also being kept in the dark over the violence.
Paul Holland, representing Kensington Holdings, said: "The company held the freehold but had no day-to-day knowledge of what was happening with this premises. The matters were not brought to the company's attention until the application for a review was made."
Mr Holland said the firm owned several licenses premises in Hull which were operated separately by tenants without any trouble.
He said the company agreed there were "ample grounds" for the review.
The three-man sub-committee unanimously agreed to suspend the bar's licence for three months and ban Mr Tuziks from his position as designated premises supervisor.
They also agreed that any future licence should include extra conditions covering the employment of a minimum of four door supervisors after 11pm and the submission of a written dispersal policy for dealing with customers leaving the bar late at night, with a limit of ten people allowed outside at any one time.

“"I strongly object to all the freeloading scum who come here for an easy time, NHS, benefits, housing and the morons who let it happen...."
What's that got to do with the Relax bar on Spring Bank?”

“I am well aware that Russia is not in the EU (yet) and I was not having a swipe at Russians, I was having a swipe at the mismanagement of immigration by the idiots in power - as I have said I have no issues with genuine decent people but I strongly object to all the freeloading scum who come here for an easy time, NHS, benefits, housing and the morons who let it happen....”

“"We need to free ourselves from this Blairite lunacy, get out of the EU, restore our borders and only let in people who we want not who feel like invading us without permission - being in the EU is like leaving your front door open - here we are lad help yourself - and they will."
As I believe somebody's already mentioned Russia isn't in the EU.”

“I actually sympathise with ToniG. There are good and bad in all nationalities, we once had a decent country here where GENUINE refugees could seek freedom. Those days have long since gone, but the idealistic do-gooders from the liberal left still think all immigrants are good - they are not. most are now p*ss taking scum bleating 'rights' and are here for an easy life at our expense.
And as for this 'it's a two way street' is again idealistic nonsense. The Eurozone is a total mess, Spain has 25% unemployment, I was over there a few months ago you can't even leave your car unguarded at petrol stations - they hover round waiting to rob you or break into the car when you go to pay for fuel. You have to leave someone on guard. If they know you are British you are easy target as you have money and they will do anything to get it.
The Europeans couldn't run a p*ss up in a brewery. We can, we once had 1000 years of a great history as n island people and we had the Commonwealth as our family. Now my relatives from Australia have to get a visa to come here while any scumbag from Albania can get a dodgy Greek work permit and be let into the UK under EU rules. Absolute madness.
We need to free ourselves from this Blairite lunacy, get out of the EU, restore our borders and only let in people who we want not who feel like invading us without permission - being in the EU is like leaving your front door open - here we are lad help yourself - and they will.”

"All this immigration thing is a two way street you know. You are free to go and live over there if you wish...ha ha, yeah right."
Always makes me wonder what the locals in Spain think when their hospital facilities are swamped by British pensioners who move out there to live. And don't bother to intergrate and don't learn Spanish. How different is that? ......Apart from the violence of course :-)”

“"They also agreed that any future licence should include extra conditions covering the employment of a minimum of four door supervisors after 11pm and the submission of a written dispersal policy for dealing with customers leaving the bar late at night, with a limit of ten people allowed outside at any one time."
What area of the pavement will the 'limit of ten people ' apply to?
How on earth can door staff be given power of who can stand where ?
I know the Police can force anyone to 'move along' or charge them with obstruction. I have been threatened with this when legally picketing my place of employment.
If the 'three-man sub-committee ' feel it necessary to impose such restrictions on the awarding of any future licence it suggests they have real concerns that the landlord will not vet future tenants adequately - otherwise why have they done so?”

“Wouldnt be so bad if these immigrants made an attempt to mix with the locals, and at least tried to speak our language, but even though wrong, it does SEEM to the locals that the majority of immigrants we have, have a violent culture, wont attempt to mix,are arrogant, have dodgy businesses, not understand the lingo {only when it suits them} are always trying to scam us or clone our cards and have a tendency to drive uninsured cars whilst drunk.
Thats not being racist, as we have home grown bad uns doing the same things, it just seems reading the news that the immigrants are doing it more often.”
