Look on the bright side, chaps. Public services are disproportionately used by those who pay little or no tax. The lottery is disproportionately played by those with little or no cash. This is a step towards ensuring those on low income pay their "fair" share of the cost for the services they use, albeit on a voluntary basis. Expect the next budget to unveil a scheme for mandatory lottery playing for those on income support.

Re: Are you suggesting that perhaps
Tax on masturbation by intelligent white males from north of england. Forget coal, this is obviously a waste of one of world's most precious resources.
Am I allowed to say that here?Comment

That's It

tax on whinging fat cat contractors who are better off than the average man in the street can ever dream to be.
If you don't like it don't buy a lottery ticket. Simple.Comment
