At least you’d get the choice whether to participate or not.
Personally I think the National Lottery is a vile contraption in every aspect.
But that’s just me......

Yup, and while no-one other than the queen would win a prize, at least the participants would feel happy about helping out a good cause, while generating much needed taxes from the ticket sales.

Yer.... that’s the really ‘wonderful’ thing about the lottery... wealthy people who can afford to buy a ticket can enjoy a flutter and the proceeds go to all those worthy causes out there..... almost sounds too good to be true eh?

I think that the amount of people thinking about where their money goes when they buy a lottery ticket amounts to no moe than about 5. Everyone else is thinking if they will be a millionaire in the morning.

 

Who cares where the money goes, if you want to give to a cause then do it, otherwise have a stab at never having to work again.

Windsor family are the 14 richest family in the world and we're paying for there roofs and gutters to be fixed. 

The old dear all be asking for 50p to go in the meter soon. How any one can defend this Lunacy is beyond me. ( I mean if you invest in bitcoin it's a crime against humanity but some old dear has the nation over and it's fine?

 

Right let me wheel my soap box to the frount!! 

Tony Blair fecked us by getting us in to two wars one over heroin the other to stop Saddam trading oil in Euro not dollar. He got into bed with bush. Put us further in the red by 7 billion them old cruise missiles are not cheap. The currant Tory government is still paying that bill. If the bearded wonder gets in he will feck us again with his crackpot ideas. 

  The Tories and a bunch of white coller criminals but Labour are a bunch of idiots that will lead this country into chaos&disorder.

Maybe with our help they can better 14. Bit shit really, was hoping head of state would be wealthier than that. 

 

Surly its a good idea to better ourselves. So let's not spit at those in the lead.

I've no problem with any person bettering them selfs at all. But I do have a problem with some on here talking about benefit hand outs to the lower class as a bad thing while handing her£360 million.

If she brings so much money in the country through tourism why cant she pay to have her own leaky roof repairs.

Nothing against the Royals just doesn't make sense to me.

Apple has apologised for slowing down the speed of old I phones because they wanted to save the batteries.... It seems more plausible that they slowed down old phones so that people would buy new ones.

 

It looks like I won't be buying any more Apple products.

Who really knows?

 

It just seems disgusting that people buy a consumer good then the manufacturer reduces the speed of the device...

I wouldn’t have had you down as being that naive?! 

 

Your usually a fountain of wisdom.
