We want to share an important update with our Betfair Community users.
Over the coming months, the Betfair Community platform will be winding down. The final active day for the platform will be December 21st. From December 22nd, users will no longer be able to access the platform.
Your discussions, insights, engagement, and, most importantly, feedback have helped shape the platform and guided innovation. Your feedback continues to be important to us, and we will continue to listen via our dedicated feedback channels, as well as through product testing and innovations.

On Monday morning Ukip took out an advert in The Daily Telegraph using police statistics on Romanian criminals to back up his comments on LBC. However he admitted to Paxman that the adverts claim that 7% of crime was committed by Romanians was incorrect. And that the Ukip advert should have said it 7% of "criminal networks" were Romanian. "It was simplified. It was criminal networks not crime," Farage told Paxman.

It is a shame Betfair can't create a politics forum to keep this ukip drivel off chit chat.
UKIP Councillors are expected to follow the best interests of their constituents.
They do not just toe the party line, as the other parties do.
Democracy:
Introduce binding local planning referendums on major decisions, such as out-of-town or large-scale supermarket developments, wind turbines, incinerators, solar farms, major housing developments and transport schemes like HS2.
Economy and Enterprise:
Reduce tax and business costs to stimulate the local economy. Make it easier for smaller and local businesses to tender for local authority contracts.
Environment, Planning and Housing:
Reduce the pressure on housing by ending open-door immigration. Oppose the bedroom tax, but provide incentives to re-use empty homes. Protect our green spaces by directing new housing and business developments to brown-field sites. Stop preferential treatment to special groups such as travellers - rules should apply equally to us all.
Education:
Improve access to quality local education and create more grammar
schools and technical skills colleges, encourage vocational apprenticeships,
give parents the right to choose where their children go to school, protect rural
schools and support home schooling.
Public Health and Social Care:
Put local communities at the heart of health care. Oppose health tourism and cuts to front-line doctors, surgeons, dentists and nurses, but reduce the number of managers and executives.
Transport and Roads:
Improve road maintenance as a priority. Mending potholes should take priority over council vanity schemes. Upgrade public transport, especially maintaining and reinstating rural bus routes that many communities depend on and which feed town-centre businesses and markets. Increase provision of free parking to regenerate town centres and boost business. Oppose any introduction of tolling on our roads and motorways.
Bin Collection:
We are opposed to the loss of weekly bin collections and will restore it in councils where the majority of residents seek for it to be returned.
Culture and Heritage:
Preserve our public libraries and develop a local buildings listing programme to allow communities to protect buildings of local importance.
Safer Communities: Keep real police officers on the beat and stop the scrapping of front-line police jobs. Adopt a zero tolerance approach to anti-social
behaviour and crack down on nuisance neighbours.
Energise the voluntary sector:
UKIP believes that the best decisions are decisions that are made locally. Community groups and volunteers are often better placed to run facilities and services than the State. By ensuring that these groups are supported, empowered and energised much more can be achieved.
Here are just some of the ways we will save your money:
Cut councillors’ excessive allowances and expenses
Slash excessive pay deals for senior council staff
Limit the number of highly-paid council employees
Cut the councils’ advertising and self-promotion budgets
Build partnerships to reduce costs
Abolish non-essential and politically-correct jobs and red tape
Leave the EU and save £55 million every day
Drop the EU Landfill Directive to cut refuse disposal costs
Control immigration to ease the burden on local services
Close unnecessary central government departments and quangos
End wasteful EU and UK subsidies to ‘renewable energy scams’, such as wind turbines and solar farms
Require all visitors to show adequate health insurance at the point of entry into the UK
Make it easier for schools to sack bad teachers
Reduce bureaucracy in the education system
Sell unused state-owned property and assets
Oppose EU directives adding artificial and detrimental costs
