I'm not making myself look daft, I'm just expressing a view you don't agree with. Regarding the stats you quote above would you be able to post them please?

All fair points you make apart from not understanding addiction. Believe me I do.

I do understand addiction all to well having lost my dad to alcoholism in 2016. I never thought the pubs were exploiting him, it was his choice to drink. Nobody is getting exploited by the bookies, nobody is forced to play those machines. God who isn't 'vulnerable' in this country anymore??
