    Some people gamble their legacies down Mongolian toilets- That’s sad. It’s a mugs game. I’m glad my chromebook broke and I can’t play addictive “paid” games ( 0.00001p per hour)

    If there not spending anything belonging to you and not comiting crimes, I think the government should butt out and deal with spending billions of our taxes a year for illegal migrants men to pay nothing for probably 10years or more,,cant enjoy the football,, cant go watch a good film anymore,cant get a decent book, interfering in what we eat and drink,jesus just shoot me,🤡🌍

    It used to be cigarette advertising. That has been well taken care of. Should be the same for gambling.

    We need to do away with this brain pseudoscience. Each person's brain develops differently, and we continue learning and maturing until we die. Keep the age of consent at 18 and teach children and adolescents how to be responsible adults who can fend for themselves. On the other hand, gambling needs better regulation such as making spins slower, limiting the max bet per spin, and vetting gamblers who want to stake large amounts (e.g. >1000).

    The advertising has been relentless… bingo is often advertised in the late afternoon…little wonder to me that it's now a big problem….

    Why are they just hitting 18-24 year olds when many who have gambling addiction are a lot older?

    Lets not forget it was labour that deregulated gambling.

    No joke, I've lost every time I have put a X on the ballot paper. It's had a devastating effect on my life.

    So 50,000 out of 60+million population! Statistically irrelevant and not large enough to change the law! This is Nanny state bullshi#!

    Should the State tell people how to spend their money and is not such a suggestion a form of socialism?

    some people have a problem with gambling, and would seek to regulate it out of existence!

    Ironic government wants to reform gambling when it uses these same tactics when it comes to the economy. The difference… if someONE gambles it may only effect them and those immediately connected. If government gambles then ALL of its citizens suffer the results. So who is REALLY gambling responsibly?

    I bet 50 quid this reform won't go through.

    Good luck with that. They'll have to fix the corrupt Gambling Commission and the National Lottery first

Andy Burnham reacts to DEVASTATING Stourbridge fires as homes GUTTED: “Never seen anything like it”

Published

Andy Burnham has visited families in Stourbridge after seeing the scenes of houses devastated by fires.

The Prime Minister outlined his plans to support those affected by the destruction, as he issued a temporary ban on the sale of disposable barbecue.

The ban comes into force today.

Speaking about the fires in Stourbridge, he said: “I’ve never seen anything like it. I mean, I dealt with wildfires in Greater Manchester, but nothing on this scale. I’ve never seen scenes like this in Britain, where you just see a whole house gutted, smouldering.

“And I met one of the families whose house had gone up in that in that way, so you can imagine how distressing that is for for them, and you feel for them and their kids, and not to go elsewhere.

“You know, it’s just unbelievably devastating for people in this in this position. So that’s why I’m here. I just wanted to show that, you know, we’re on the ground.

“We understand how difficult this is for everybody, and we will put in place the support to help people get back to where they should be as soon as possible.”

We now live in GASLIT BRITAIN

Published

on

By



Mark Littlewood says “we now live in gaslit Britain” after it emerged the Home Office published a guide for illegal migrants on how “not to rape women”.

It is just one of the resources available in a collection titled: “Understanding behaviours and expectations in the UK: a guide for asylum seekers”.

Posters and information on rape, the age of consent and child abuse are among the guides to help asylum seekers “understand what is expected when living in the UK”.

The guidance highlights child rape is illegal “even if they look older” or if “it is allowed in another country”.

Speaking to Patrick Christys on GB News, political commentator Mark Littlewood said: “This pamphlet is extraordinary. And the reason I find it so extraordinary and disturbing is if you need that pamphlet, I don’t want you anywhere near my country.”

A Home Office spokesperson told GB News: “We expect everyone who comes to the UK to abide by our laws.

“If they do not, they will face consequences, including the refusal of their asylum claim and removal from the UK.

“Returns of failed asylum seekers have reached their highest level since 2010 under this Government.”

British burqa ban? GB News guest urges UK to follow Portugal

Published

on

By



Tiffany Marie Brannon has urged Britain to introduce a burqa ban after Portugal did so.

Portugal has banned face-coverings in public in a measure widely seen as a “burka law” targeting Muslim women.

President António José Seguro signed into law a bill that originated with the hard right-wing Chega party.

The policy was adopted by Lisbon in July with votes from the right-wing governing coalition and the hard right, while left-wing parties voted against it.

Speaking on The Late Show Live on GB News, Tiffany Marie Brannon argued that the issue raises wider questions about integration, cultural identity and the role of religious dress in British public life, as the debate over face coverings continues to divide opinion.
