Betting shops are licensed, regulated, taxed, and employ tens of thousands of people.
Grouping them with “dodgy businesses” isn’t a serious description of a regulated sector.
It’s also aimed at the wrong target. Betting shops: 8,822 → 5,872 over the decade. Adult gaming: 1,610 → 1,502. Barbers: 2,953 → 18,078. Takeaways: 2,882 → 13,478.
Whatever has reshaped the high street, it isn’t gambling premises. And with each new announcement, more jobs are lost.
Hi Andy Burnham, @andyburnham@10DowningStreet
I'd like to unsubscribe from paying NIC and income tax on the first £15,000 I earn. I don't want my hard earned wages going to benefits scroungers and foreign invaders.
Could you make that possible?
Regards,
Britain.
British man purchases a baseball bat, but as soon as he leaves the shop, he gets grabbed by police for "carrying a weapon".
Meanwhile a group of foreign men in Northern England are seeing waving knifes in the air. That is somehow allowed?
For clarity, I don’t want Polanski arrested. But I want to see the reasons as to why he is not.
I want to see the hypocritical responses from those that said one thing about Lucy Connolly & another about this.
I want the country to finally see that we live in two tier Britain.
This is worth more than the entire third world to me
We spend £2.8 million a year keeping it running
We spend over £1 Billion each year on benefits just for migrants
We spend £15 Billion on foreign aid
Cut them and keep our contribution to the stars
🚨NEWS: The UK's largest telescope which has been used to track objects in space for nearly 70 years is set to close after the UK Government pulled its £2.8million a year funding
For reference we spend over £1Billion a year on migrant benefits
🚨Hey, Elliot Anderson, just a reminder that football didn’t start in 2011, mate.
When you’re done talking, have a look at the trophy cabinet.
P.S. See you at Old Trafford on 13 September.
To Counter-Terrorism Police: Bushra Shaikh held an official meeting with IRGC General Ebrahim Azizi just days ago.
The IRGC is a proscribed terrorist group. I and countless others are furious you’re taking no action. She is a clear threat to Britain’s security.
Arrest her.
🚨 IS A COVER UP HAPPENING?
A man brutally murdered a vulnerable elderly 78 year old woman in her own home.
She was left on the floor covered in blood.
We were immediately told the suspect was a white British national this was broadcast nationally.
We were told that it wasn’t a terrorist incident and there’s no links to it being politically motivated.
A “white male” man was arrested, then let free the following day without charge.
The next day we are told there is a new suspect.
Police have announced they have footage of the individual.
Police refuse to give any description of the suspect or any motives.
The police have decided to not release the CCTV.
I don’t care what anyone says, but this absolutely STINKS of a cover up.
Just so everyone is aware. There is a dangerous murderer on the run, police have him on CCTV, but they have decided to not release the CCTV so the public can't help identify him.
Okaaaaaaay. This doesn't sound weird at all.
Silence from Keir Starmer.
Silence from Sadiq Khan.
Silence from Shabana Mahmood.
No COBRA meeting.
No 24 hour courts.
No fast-tracking to prison.
Nothing.
Apparently they only do that for white, working-class Brits.
It couldn't be more clear.
We live in a two-tier society.
One of these protests is because they're angry little girls and young women have been raped.
The other is a riot because they lost a game of football.
They are not the same.
The police do not behave the same.
Last night Muslim foreigners rioted in London over a football match. Far-right thugs? Fast track justice? Remanded in custody? Full force of the law? Or is that only for the white native British?
When Muslim community members are on a rampage, @metpoliceuk runs like a dog with its tail between its legs. Police officers were chased by Moroccan fans after losing to France in London's Edgware Road (Morocco Street).
When will Sadiq Khan let the Met Police do their job properly?
