Default Just what we need - another NL crackdown!

And the villain this time is....... PUB POKER! Yes thats right that root of all evil (never mind the stabbings murders and rapes!) is a card game

Thank F*** TB and his cronies are finally being tough on the causes of crime!

Its enough to make a cat laugh

Yea, the New Labour Stazi don't like anything they can't directly have control over.

Letting some american billionaire turn the Dome into a 'super casino' on the other hand is fine though.

You dont pay tax on your winnings with pub poker, so why the hell should you be allowed to play it?

You can play rummy though, as long as you dont "walk away with more than the cost of a round of drinks"

Yeah but you do pay tax on the money you're playing with and also the person who's money you win has also paid tax on that

They just don't like it cos they can't tax your a$$ again

You were taxed when you earned it and you'll be taxed again when you spend it but don't worry - its all going to good causes like the NHS and Tony's pension.
