@alottopro Oh I agree with you. Is it any more healthy to have young people sitting on their Xbox with a headset in for 12 hours a night than going out to the pub and actually speaking to people? There are health detriments to anything and everything. This isn't considered via regulators.

You can absolutely argue the Smoking ban has made people stop smoking, you can argue drinks offers helped prevent harm through binge drinking. But what it has done, is made business almost impossible to do, and provide nudge economics to consumers, changing their behaviors into that of regressive, anti social hermits.

Don't see how the appointment of @andrewgwynnemp was ever going to end anything but badly to be honest.

These words from the disgraced former Public Healfh minister @andrewgwynnemp show that a statuary levy on Gambling Industry will be used to fund the NHS, and take away from Gambling harm prevention and treatment. It's not about helping people, it's empire building. “This levy will provide an important funding boost for the NHS, whilst also enabling independent research and more effective prevention initiatives"

Public health minister axed for saying he wants people that didn't vote Labour to die. Seems like a policy that would help get the NHS under control to be fair, think they've jumped the gun here. Hear him out.

Pocket of the campaign Minister with overlordship of OHID and NiHR (levy commissioners) bites the dust. My heart is breaking.

@dcfcofficial @AndyMargett

I can understand why you're frustrated I really can. We're trying, and I do think a lot has been done in the last 5 years. The issue of illegal gambling is the toughest one to crack, there are no easy answers. I'm always happy to chat it through and explain why I think the way I do.

@MartinPaterso13 @chrisgambler247 @GambleWithLives @GamRegGB @BetGameCouncil If you remove consumer experience, you will move players into a place where no restrictions exist. Keep an open mind on it, all im asking.

@sprintvalley WE HAVE NO TIME FOR JOKES HERE! ONLY INSULTS. actually, only insults seems like a great challenger website.

@sprintvalley P.s, unless NASA start a study on earth's silly people. I'm not sure he stands a chance.

@stevenctilley @GamblingHurts That's not what I'm saying. Not by a long shot. Legislation is fine, sensible legislation that doesn't drive consumer migration.

@geoffbanksbet Thank you Geoff, I appreciate the kind words. Unfortunately, this person is why people held up on emotion should be away from policy, they can't see past the anger.
