Figures suggest industry profit from gaming last year was at least £5bn pre-tax and operating costs. The new tax will turn that into a £3bn profit (less op costs). Racing GGY @ 770m still good business less the £350m product costs. £3bn is £8.2m a day.

this is what happens when you give jobs to people with a posh education and fuck all brains. Jobs for the boys has brought Britain to the laughable state it is in. But doubtless this pair will stroll along the trough a bit before feeding again.

For politics and democracy to work the way they should, the key changes should be abolishing this type of nonsense, banning party donations from any person or organisation who might stand to gain from it, and allowing lobbying to be done only in writing and never to a named individual.

'Un-british' to protest about Genocide says a British government proud to send arms to Israel every day to fuel that Genocide.
57 Palestinians were slaughtered yesterday by Israeli forces. Have yet to hear that described as 'un-Israeli'. Starmer & Mahmood obviously quite happy with it.

I went to the doc as I feared my hitherto reliable ear for music had gone. He tested it by askng me to listen to these two and, to be fair, I could hear no difference.
