(As if you needed one):
"Limits on how much internet gamblers can stake and spend online would be introduced if Labour was in power, the shadow culture secretary has promised.
Tom Watson said the tougher rules would tackle "Britain's hidden epidemic" and said current laws were "unfit for the digital age".
Labour's plans would also include a limit on the speed of play."
Would this affect the exchange? You'd have to fear it would. The stupidity of control freak socialists never knows any bounds. Assuming that would affect the exchange, I'm sure the betfairians here would LOVE some nanny state moron who doesn't understand how it works coming up with f-wited rules that mess it up.

Don't worry, I'm sure flabbot could understand the complicated concepts of backing and laying... Maybe Chairman Mao or Marx wrote a book on it.

Surely JC would never complete misrepresent something about Labour/Corbyn, SF?

Dear, oh dear, Studyform. I’m going to have to correct you.
I hope I can get away with it but no doubt you’ll wriggle out of it. The forthcoming sugary drinks tax will be a Tory nanny state imposition. |

Do you know what a caveat is, oh lord of pointing out the error of our thinking?
"Assuming that would affect the exchange, I'm sure the betfairians" I have absolutely no grounds whatsoever given the stupidity of the corbyn front bench that anything they do would be idiotic. Q.v. their endless banging on about banning "zero hour contracts" when many MANY people want to be on zero hour contracts. |

should read:
"I have absolutely no grounds whatsoever given the stupidity of the corbyn front bench mot to think that anything they do would be idiotic." |

At least Betfair are owned by "Paddy Power", if the parent company was "Levi Power" I'd imagine Corbyn's labour would get especially vindictive.

Well done. 3 straight (possibly insulting) posts with the message in 5 minutes!!!
Also. Does anyone actually know what form this anti-Semitism has taken, or is it just perpetual news to hit Corbyn with? A thing started by an anti-Corbyn Jewish association (the board of deputies of British Jews), taken on by some anti-Corbyn MPs, particularly Jewish ones, and run with by the press and the agenda runners on here. Yet no-one has ever actually said what they've said or done that's so anti semitic! It's certainly mentioned on tv and radio daily but never a mention of any anti-Semitism from anyone else. |

By:
One of the two was a correction of missed words from the previous post but of course misunderstanding what is going on is your MO. Along with pretending you are a bastion of objective moderation while CONTINUALLY having an aggressive go at anyone who is vaguely "right of of centre" while ignoring or defending anyone who is "left". Do you think WE are stupid and can't see this?

Anyway glad to see SF has once again taken a thread (100% betfair relevant, about betting policy by britains 2nd policy) and taken it into a "boohoo you are so biased and just don't get it you are so blinkered" type sidetrack. For the 1000th time. Why do intelligent people waste their time engaging....

Actually, I'm pointing out that your opening post was cack, posted not because of content but because of your determination to slate Corbyn, lefties and Labour.
You just don't want any opposition to the cack. You will see, if you want to read it, that I wrote about the BF relevant, betting policy (which it isn't) that you wrote about, responding about it totally. What did I write that is "aggressive"? Or is merely disagreeing considered aggressive now? YOU are the one using insulting langusge. Maybe you just want to write political nonsense on here and never have it disputed. You're not alone. |

''His remarks come after Labour called for a ban on the use of credit cards to place bets and the publication of the party's year-long review into gambling regulations.''
Watson has his eyes firmly on the Labour leadership. And with the extremely damaging anti-Semitism issues tearing the party apart, which singles out Corbyn as the main cause, he needs to keep himself in the public eye as the moderate caring socialist ready to step in and unite the party. He couldn't care less about protecting problem gamblers if the truth's known. |

By:
The post at 12:47, which mentions anti-Semitism is quite racist in itself by the way.

STUDYFORM: "It is a good thing to do, and wouldn't have any impact on the way the exchange works."
Tom Watson: "Watson would not go into the detail of what the stake limits might be in monetary terms, nor when asked if they would apply to racing and sports betting." https://www.racingpost.com/news/latest/labour-open-to-stake-limits-on-online-gambling-if-evidence-demands-it/368577 STUDYFORM, I think you're confusing what you think is reasonable and would like to see with what is liable to happen when an out-of-his-depth, middle-class politician sticks his nose into something the middle classes simply don't understand. |
|
By:
No. I have a great deal of knowledge on this subject and, although it has nothing to do with this story, actually spoken 1 on 1 with Tom Watson about gambling. (about 5 years ago).
Plenty of middle class people place bets. |

Its not gambling that bothers me SF
Its an attack on absolutely everything, modern society is to much imo Better off out of it |
|
By:
You won't see any difference to normal betting. And tbh, many online casinos need regulating.
Other than that, just about everything we do is legislated about. Always has been, we're just used to it. |

There is little or no enforceable legislation currently with most offshore casino sites, Nonsense Offering unlicensed gambling is a criminal offence. Licensed gambling is obviously regulated. |

First rule of socialism - if it makes a profit regulate it until it doesn't. Then the state can take it over.

Spike Milligan was also born in India. Bloody immigrant, coming over here and inventing all our surrealist comedy!

|
By:
Loads of legislation, dave1357.
Because it isn't enforced or enforceable. Which is part of the reason it's offshore, not just for tax purposes. The UK government has no jurisdiction. So, not "nonsense" at all. |
|
By:
So it's all hot air from Watson, and an attempt to pull the wool over the eyes of his supporters?
|
|
By:
Have Labour tried to pull the wool over the eyes of their supporters before?
Like when they said ''we support the result of the referendum'' |
|
By:
Tom Watson is on LBC at the moment apologising for anti-Semitism in the Labour party.
He just Quoted John McDonnell who said Labour's response has been too little too late. |

Tune in and listen, it's an eye opener the brass face these Labour people have got.

Hey, anxious, are you aware that in scandals involving standing mps the convention is for conservatives to be over sex and labour about money?

By:
Anxious, slagging off the Labour party is the only show in town at the moment.
The only problem is which angle to come from. |

They defended letting in half the world calling everyone a racist who objected, and now they turn out to be the worst set of racists in politics.
And you wonder why they're on the rack. |
