    Yes for sure, and winnings in gambling should be taxed at least as much as income tax, ideally doubled.

    Lotteries should not on one hand give false hope to those who play it, and on another hand enable Govt to dodge it's responsibilities towards "good causes" like museums, art galleries etc.

    Ideal situation is when the big winner gets sudden 110% tax bill on his winning, totally bankrupting them in the process and putting off people from gambling what little they've got.

      I must admit I am beginning to doubt that he will be leader by Christmas, the first few days have been unbelievable, even I did not think he would be this bad with his presentation.

        His first question time today. It could be a car crash. It could be more cringy than watching Suity do a job interview

        I also reckon we will see the return of the other Milliband within 12 months

          But he is already culling Labour HQ, then take out the number of Labour MPs owned by the unions and there will be lwon't be enough opposition within his party for a coup
          Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

          No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

            Presentation skills course coming up.. Make sure you have a meal before presenting. That's my secret.

              Is the Torygraph going to shut the f**k up about sticking the knife into Corbyn and concentrate on some proper news or are they going to go on like this until he's given the heave-ho?

              I'm far from being a labour supporter but that rag is getting really tedious.

                Which just show's how politically naive you are!

                It might be the right thing to do but would instantly alienate a large section of society. Most of whom would be your core voters.

                  Not until he's gone. Which is why I'm down Ladbrookes to take the 8-1 he's gone before Xmas.

                    Don't count on it.

                    Tax relief on gambling is one thing they could be looking at.

                      They are going to keep going at it until either he's out or he wins.

                      Why wouldn't they? He represents everything they despise.

                      As I said before he's a big, easy target.

                      Not singing the national anthem on your first public engagement. How stupid was that? It's obvious that the press are going to have a field day on something like that.
