There are more places to gamble on the high street than there are GP surgeries.
A chicken shop would be inspected every year. Why are we allowing these places to behave with impunity on our high streets?
19 inspections is absurd.

Considering having a living hedge installed?
Probably avoid this guy.
If this is how he behaves on his business account, in public, imagine what he's like when he thinks no one is listening?

This sentencing remark from a judge to a drug dealer could very easily apply to adult gaming centres, and slots in general.

This lunatic has been out for a total of 5 miles over 2 walkies, plus an hour of charging round the garden the second it stopped raining, and still found the time to rip all the stuffing out of her bed.

I've never felt compelled to join a political party before, but I'm now a fully paid up member of the green party.
I'm committed to doing anything I can locally.

Manchester council have a decision to make this morning.
Do they allow ANOTHER 24 hour slot farm in Manchester? One that's already been fined by the regulator, that no one wants, or do they take a stand and reject it?

Why doesn't the government tax slot machines properly? £1.23 billion, just in betting shops.

Merkur slots in at number 30.
Adult gaming centres made £462 million profit last year, just from the £2 per spin machines, which is 20% of their machines. Absolutely disgusting, no place on our high streets for companies who exploit both staff and customers.

I just find it odd.
I'm always happy to chat to anyone- as you know- but it's been months now.
If theres something they'd like to know, just ask.
Continuously searching for me is a bit stalky.
