The PM is making it harder for Mr Plod to keep up all the new car payments.

But seriously the underground gambling could never have flourished as it has without the 

"blindness" of the constabulory & some "influential" people.

Agreed, they must be seriously hurting now with all their avenues of extortion, racketeering, insurance, tea money drying up due to covid, Now this, wherever will it end.........possibly quite a few Mia Nois joining that 1.5 million on the poverty line.

This is all just smoke and mirrors to look as if they are doing something.

Gambling dens were the source of the main outbreak.

You cannot catch Covid on-line.

Meanwhile, rumour is that the original casinos are re-opening.

I would hazard a guess that there is a selective process going on here with some nice pictures.
