I feel this is too liberal and leaves the executives with two functioning lungs when one will suffice perfectly well.
My carefully considered, nuanced and balanced policy view is that we should tax gambling profits, including sports betting, at like 98% and one executive's kidney per quarter.
I'm not sure having every UK mainstreet be three quarters Ladbrokes is good, actually.

I make my entire living selling current event bingo cards for the year and people are constantly bitching about how things weren’t on their cards and it’s very exhausting trying to come up with these things and no one ever appreciates all the effort I put into them

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

The myth that the NHS is ‘free’ is propagated by people who don’t want it to exist. No it’s not free! It’s paid for by the public - and many older patients who need the service more than most have paid into the system for their entire working lives!

In the Covid enquiry report, they mention lockdown should have started sooner, but surprised they don't mention all those earlier mass events that could have been cancelled - the Cheltenham races, a big concert etc. That was a massive issue at the time.

Having Johnson & Cummings in Downing Street when Covid struck was, just like Brexit, an entirely avoidable disaster caused largely by utterly appalling journalism. And now exactly the same clowns, arses & bigots with bylines are rolling out the red carpet for Farage.
