I read a report this evening that the Gambling Board has stepped in.

The only way he will stop is if they dont give it to him

@FC:
'addiction to gambling is a desease like all addictions...those addicted require therapy...like many many others he was probably forced to ban himself...we all know of people who have been very badly affected by gambling'


So.... where does this place the moribund Responsible Gambling (I wrote to them some years back, requesting their input on some important matter regarding punters at tote outlets..... still waiting for a response!)?

What have they pro-actively prepared / done to provide counselling for this compulsive gambler?

Like the politicians, the only time they get off their butts is to attend conferences (hot air!) and annual parties.

No difference to during the 'apartheid' days when some of the activists in London got together once a year on June 16 at Hyde Park to deliver their oratories;

the rest of the year, they were either boozing, screwing or utilising their 100 free Euro tickets to travel!

:S

as usual! Lol!
