Labour would introduce stake limits on online gambling products "if the evidence demands it," Watson said in a speech introducing the party's new policy on the issue. While limits were spoken of more in the context of those which will apply to FOBTs from April 1 and how that might translate to online equivalents, they could be applied to horseracing and sports betting should that be deemed appropriate.
You cannot make it up
I thought it was April the 1st Does the stupid Foooker realise that no one can Get a bet on
Rapists and Murderers Running amok nationwide WATSON WANTS BETS RESTRICTED
So what's to stop people putting on several bets, of whatever the limit would be?
.I brought this up in my "another reason not to want a corbyn government" thread but was told I was just blinkered and anti Labour..
"Proletariatbet". It could have informative messages to cheer you up when on a losing streak.
"Ach Kфmrade, your bэt has lost, but fear not, at least the capitalist bourgeois pigs will not gain from your misery"
Then a couple bars of a stirring anthem and a video of the great leader staring into the distance in front of a flapping red flag.
How do they think the bookies will make a living???????
People have to take some responsibility for themselves....nobody has to gamble, it is their own choice.
by removing off course betting tax
They wanted people to bet on anything and everything?????????????????????

And now the tories have started to reverse this.
When you lose these bets you do learn though, and suddenly nobody sits beside you on the train, so it's not all bad.
Its now probably to late because the majority are simply going to accept anything posed to them out of sheer apathy
No enough people care anymore, I've long since given up hope of the majority ever wanting to sort this mess out
And I don't just mean this silly gambling side of the dictatorship arm either, its everything, they want control over absolutely everyone and everything
"when they came for the".... springs to mind

The "number of bets over a period of time", very much relates to the work that was done and the lobbying of MPs (all parties) in relation to how FOBTs work.
It took 12 hours for JC's first mention of Corbyn. Still (at the risk of being 'aggressive') you did get a "Venezuela" and a "synagogue" with his name all in one sentence.
The "removal of betting tax" was not to get people to bet on everything, Ebul. It was to replace the very unfair tax on turnover and had been lobbied for by bookmakers, for many years. It wasn't removed at all, just shifted to bookmaker's profit at 15% - instead of 6.75% of turnover which the tax on bets was supposed to cover.
There were several gambling acts passed. The 1960 one allowed betting shops. in 1991 TV's were allowed in them and in 1995 they were made more open, the worst move imo was the 2005 act which created the Gambling commission. So as far as blaming Labour for yet more of our issues. They were only in power for the last of these and that was down to Blair's government.
The whole story, tax and rules for gambling and betting are not remotely party political.
But, as always, you'd never know it from looking at this forum.

Oh and btw.
A thread entitled "another reason not to vote for Corbyn" which starts "as if you need one" DOES look a little bit anti-Labour.
And this subject (the Tom Watson one about gambling) was apparently what the thread was about. rather than a "subject 'brought up' within an unrelated thread.
stuff like this: It's implict in left wing politicians to believe they know best and the state should be controlling people...
And YOU accuse ME of being aggressive (ignoring my request to show me where and how) in response.
You're running with a story which you seem to me to be misinterpreting and have turned it into "I want to be able to bet on anything".
and LOADS of completely unnecessary mentions of Corbyn and other unrelated stuff.
You do this a lot, pretty much every day, and don't like any opposing or dissenting opinion.
