BEN’S BLOG: ‘More collusion between the Gambling Commission and the Big Firms’

[dropcap]T[/dropcap]oday, on Corporate Hypocrisy Watch, we’re off to Hamilton, I’m afraid, Blog… Those who read Tuesday’s Racing Post (I find that corporate types rarely do), will have seen the article, written by Graham Green, on page 6. William Hill have been found-out, for being the holier-than-thou, suck-up wets, that they are, and ordered to pay £43k, to three Staffs, they’ve unfairly dismissed.

The three, had served a 16 year old, who was using fake ID. I am ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTED that Hills have lost this case. As I’m CERTAIN, that the management, who were trying to sacrifice the previous employees, only to look good to the Gambling Commission, neeevvveeeerrr eeevvvveeeerrrr, would have had a drink, or a bet, before they were 18 years old, themselves. Oh no, no, no, no, noooo, Blog! CORPORATE PEOPLE’S FARTS DON’T SMELL ONE BIT!!

In other news:

I then moved along (like I think it’s fine if the moaning Jocks do (with nothing) and reached Betting Window, on page 10, where Bill Barber informs us, that the GC have been testing, to see if under-18s, are being served in betting-shops. Oh, but they only checked out the independents. Why’s that then, Blog? Because the Big Firms have told them that they do their own checks. HAHAHAHA! I’M DELIGHTED to hear that!! If the Firms have said they don’t need to be checked, we should all just believe them, and let the Gam Comm concentrate on bullying small operators out of the game. IT’S NICE TO KNOW THE RULES AT LAST.

It sounds like the GC’s recent efforts at Royal Ascot, where, using a tarted-up 17 year old girl, they spent the afternoon, helpfully trying to put bets on with the busy bookmakers. On questioning the Gam Comm rep, the bookies asked ‘But did you check the The Tote?’. The answer that came back, Blog? ‘Oh no, we were just doing the on-course bookies’.

JUST KEEP COLLECTING YOUR MONEY-FOR-NOTHING, RIP-OFF CHARGES, AND LET US GET ON WITH OUR BUSINESS IN PEACE, PLEASE.

Over and out, B x
