        Well that's one reason to vote Labour. Ads may be an inconvenience to some, but gambling dependency is a life destroyer for many. It's ugly when seen close up. Gambling dependency is as bad as any other, and like smoking etc shouldn't be encouraged.

        Even as a @UKLabour supporter (distanceed since awful @jeremycorbyn ) - I read headlines related to them and my first question is "Labour who?" - Current setup will go down in history as worse shadow gov EVER! #StopBrexitSaveDemocracy

        Didn't Tony Blair's Labour Govt de-regulated gambling advertising in the 2000's?

        I feel for people with this addiction. There is no rest bite from them to get away from the temptation of doing so. It is ridiculous. Funny how the all end their adverts with, gamble responsibly. Is that even possible ??? Your gambling !!!

        It's a good idea. Far too many people have got themselves (and others) into deep financial misery through their addiction to gambling. Very positive move - well done @UKLabour

        Is this an effort to get the core vote out of the bookies and into the polling station?

        Excellen ideas but they also need to have more stringent IT audits and in particular looking at duplicate objects.

        Don't see the point. Banning Tobacco advertising helped the Tobacco industry save millions in competing adverts.
