Bet365 CEO Denise Coates paid herself £277,000,000 this year, and £410,000,000 in 2020.
This was more than 20,000x the Minimum Wage that she paid most of her workers.
The betting industry needs to be taxed, heavily.

Now’s a good time to remind you Farage attended a Private Dinner at The Carlton club where he & guests laughed at Hitler jokes & sung ‘we’re all racist now’👇🏼👇🏼

Claims he’s not a racist but loves Nazi jokes & enjoys singing he’s a racist😉

The tabloids are all focusing on Nigel Farage’s disgraceful racism and antisemitism in his school days, rightly so, but appear to be glossing over how frightening, bullying and entirely malicious the targeting of his fellow pupils was.
It’s not just a few mean comments, it was systematic abuse.
