UK Government's gamble on benefits of gambling to gamblers distinctly dubious

The UK Government's gamble on the benefits of gambling to gamblers and their families seems hard to support.

Members of Parliament (MPs) who supported the recent Gambling Act 2005 to liberalise (promote) gambling should search their conscience now and answer the following questions.

• What good does gambling do in our society?
• Does it nourish, feed or make our society better?
• Do those who gamble feel better afterwards?
• Do the families of gamblers look forward to their fathers or mothers spending the family money gambling?
• Is the total sum of happiness in our society improved by gambling?

What do you think? Has gambling ever kept it's promise to you that you will win?

What other questions about the benefits of gambling would you like your legislators to answer?
