I noticed between the progs I watch Wink Bingo Kitty Bingo Lucky Pants Bingo Tombola, is that Bingo also? Sun Bingo Mecca Bingo Bet Victor Bet this one that one and the other one. Poker here and Poker there. This Casino and that Casino. Free cash to play, £20 £30 just to reel the folks in. Ah you must put your credit card details in first as deposit. The National Lottery is now £2 I believe. The Health Lottery The Post Code Lottery. Is there more? Has the UK gone totally gambling crazy? Just wondered does anyone else notice this or is it just me that feels you in the UK have so much money to fall for these kind of tricks. Still each to their own, just an observation.

edison324: i dont watch tv but like a flutter now and again
If you did you would see so many of these sites. Play this and play that. Do they think folks have nothing else to do but gamble their hard earned cash. Maybe they do just that. STill its their choice.
A flutter is something but stuck to a screen and the money disappearing in front of your face is something else.

Your right, you only have to look down the local high street and count the number of Betting shops. In my local town there are 5 within a space of 600 yards? what's the saying speculate to accumulate, only one happy is the person owning the shop.

What ever happened to the old days? I remember the old saying a Fool and his money are soon parted. Seems now its a nation of Gambling. JMO. So people have so much money in the UK? When there I did not see it, most were whinging over not having enough to live on. Fact. I remember my Dad, only one winner Hip Pocket!

sassienolonger2: I don't see a lot of betting shops around where I live and work - see adverts for tab at the local pub, that's all
North West area seems to have a preponderance of betting shops and pubs, but the latter in slow decline too, no sooner they close, it becomes some sort of fast food chain. Everything seems geared to spending money you have not got in the vain chance of getting that Big Win being neither gambler or heavy drinker little chance of me getting the big win or drinking myself to death :)

**Has the UK gone totally gambling crazy?** Short answer - Yes - We now have a generation of deperstae disenfranchised people of all ages.
That is all thanks to the Tories who, since the early 1970'intially encouraged the Yuppie and City greed and the uncontrolled gambling culture of the banks. In 1972 Heath removed all the training grants from employers in the skilled industries.
In the 1980's Thatcher deliberaletly set out to destroy the nation's manfacturing base, denationalised ALL of our natural assets including rail & road transport by allowing everything under public ownership to be sold to German, French and other Foreign owned companies to benefit shareholders rather than customers and with many politicians having enough wealth and fingers in the foreign pies they made a financial killing and now manyt of us are paying well over 10 percent of our income for energy and since 2012 the co-alition governement deliberately prevented any Energy company from offering the 25% discount to Pensioners BY LAW like they used to.
Not content with that they KNOW they created and encouaged the benefits culture when they stopped the DSS wage stop which meant that anyone in full time work HAD to be paid more than the dole which led to all the temporary, part time and casual work that the Tory employers wanted so they could avoid paying Holiday and sick pay in the 80's. The result was to create parastite businesses that are entirely dependent on peoples misery for their income achived by closing down various Mental institutions and Council run government funded and properly supervised establishments for the ederly by removing all funding, which was tantamount to a form of back door genocide -- They and the Liebore Government that followed Major in the 90's under B Liar and Brown (admirers of Thatcher) also deliberately sabotaged pension schemes by underhand methods.
At one time in the 1980's Thatcher, under the dubious guidance from her fascist leaning Right wing Etonian/Oxbridge Think tank even considered compulsdory euthenasia at age 70 -- to save the financial cost of paying the state pension and providing medical care to the elderly. Osborn is mutterring about such costs now !!
Sham Moron is an Etonian/Oxbridge right wing Thatcheriute career politician and Boris Johnson is similar. Johnson is now openely saying people with lower IQ's should be classed as inferior so -- Look Out Britian - The Far Right Fascists are leaning towards another period of *Superior Race* and *Final Solution* ideology.

quote Jesus HIM this was not meant to be a party political question Just about gambling adverts! lending money adverts and you know xmas adverts such an angry man! chill babe chill
Hi sail no I do not have money to waste on gambling, its a waste of my time and money JMO but these adverts get on my wick as some people can be enticed by them. It is the money lending adverts which say they are honest and upront with 216% interest they should not have viewing space.

Have to agree with all replies. Money lending well now its this one, up to 1,000 at what rate? hmmm that one borrow £300 also at a rate of interest! Its all wrong advertising this kind of thing and not only that the people in the UK are paying a TV licence to see this rot. Yes it is worldwide but I am just amazed to see how much of this is on the UK channels. Oh well time to go walk Max before bed time. Night Night all.
