On the casinos thing... Up until recently I didn't care whether we had them or not, it's not something I particularly had an opinion about. Then the other night there was a documentary on BBC 2 following a guy that had a gambling addiction, and that changed my opinion. We don't need them in this country.
I didn't see it but I can imagine it is pretty scary and of grave concern. I find it alarming how many are in serious debt all thanks to the credit card and loans industry and of course the gambling thing just makes it all worse because quite often it is the vulnerable and desperate who get into gambling in a big way.
