THERE seems to be a huge amount of advertising for gambling on the television at the moment and I don’t believe that this is a good thing for British society. Gambling can lead to addiction and totally destroy homes and families.
The people who are hit hardest by the gambling addition are children. Money that should be going on food and shoes is wasted by the addicts on their gambling habit.
There will always be people that want to gamble. If this is how people want to spent their money they should be allowed to do so, but this does not change the fact that it is an evil habit.
It damages British society that people could be drawn into the evil gambling habit by watching slick advertisements on the television in their own homes.
