@ Lozzie, Im not sure to be honest. Id have a guess at:
a) Power, laws, rules, legislation that can later be abused for other things.
b) Billions in Labour Party funds by business/backers, plus taxes and whatever from the places themselves.
c) A
temporary jobs boost to boost thier figures. (Building work, more immigrants people no doubt to cover thier arses on that score, service industry jobs etc, ie making the rest of the country a cess pit like London which they think is so marvellous)
c) They can claim they have 'invested' in the area to 'relieve poverty and deprivation' and all that shite, even though its all a load of bollox in real terms. Much like in my area they are pulling down two or three high schools and building a new big one, saying they are spending billions on 'improved education' inthe area - but the existing buildings are fine, and buildings dont teach knowledge!!!!. Just that type of bullcrap that is merely slight of hand and a side step from really dealing with problems.
d) They want to make the country a 'fairground of the world', seeing as we are on our arse in REAL work and jobs, such as manufacturing, science, technology.
e) I dont know, but like you say, its extremely odd for the government to be backing Gambling in this way.
@ ILP, I fully agreed with that bird on Radio 2, and I wanted to smack that arrogant tw@t John McCririck or who ever it was. Yes, Online gambling is a problem, but that doesnt mean to say we need the government to join in the problem!.
@ Jonno, the Labour party now make me sick. They are the absolute toads and scum of the earth, and this labour government has ridden roughshot over our liberties and freedoms and wrote more laws in the last 8 years than the last 150 years combined!. Yeah, the Labour party are the Tories rebadged in some ways, and dont represent its original principles or working man by a long chalk. I cant believe I used to vote these people
. Ignorance is indeed bliss.
I dont know what the hell they think they are doing :S
Sirius.
