I think so, including the workaround “casino” and “bingo” gambling stuff that infest tv now. FGR chairman becomes first to call for restrictions.

Agreed, I think gambling advertising is worse than booze

It will in time. Well all look back and laugh in years to come, just as we do know at the cigs and booze sponsors of the past.

Gambling, other than a state owned lotto should be illegal.

The Lotto prizes should be more evenly distributed and those on low incomes should have any prize win doubled.

Tickets should be free to those on an income below the national average. Higher earners should pay more for their tickets. I could go on.
