I don’t need to be told how much I can bet

Breaking news! The government is trying to control our spending.

The latest attack on healthy gamblers is the threat to take away our right to control how much we can bet with maximum deposit limits.

Of course some people have problems with gambling and it is right that we should help them, but this takes regulation on gambling too far. I’m not a child and I don’t need the government parenting me at the encouragement of the overzealous anti-gambling lobby. There is no reason for adults to have their pocket money allocated by the government!

I know I’m not the only one who feels this way. Safe and responsible gamblers across Britain are tired of this juvenile treatment. The government should trust its people and at the very least continue to let us exercise our basic right to control how much we spend on leisure activities
