I thought this article in today's EN might spark an interesting discussion on our 'family entertainment centres'.
Frankly I'm disgusted by the government's endorsement of 'super casinos', I think that all gambling should be discouraged and that children in particular should be protected.
It may be part of our seaside heritage but I'll be delighted the day these establishments close down. Clause 58 sounds like a fine idea to me and one that ought to be invoked immediately. I shall be writing to Gavin Strang to express this view. As for our Gambling Minister, what further proof does he require that gambling is addictive and causes untold misery for thousands of families, often on low incomes to begin with.
