People don't seem to know but all Betting in the UK whether in person or online must have a Gambling Commission License and pay tax in the UK.

There is no way for them to avoid taxes on Gambling, they can't just 'go online'.

I am 72. I have been surrounded by non white people (and white foreigners) literally all my life. At home from birth, at school, at college, at work, at church, at my kids’ schools. My question is, how come this person has only just noticed, when I gave up noticing literally 70 years ago?

FINALLY the BBC starts covering what we’ve all already seen.

“A 55-year-old Palestinian woman has been taken to hospital after being clubbed over the head by a masked Jewish settler as she was picking olives.”

Boris Johnson on BBC Breakfast. For him, Covid was a huge jape. It would be difficult to come up with someone less suitable to lead the country through a pandemic.
Thousands died needlessly as a result.
