This is about the fact that bingo uniquely pays 22% tax rather than the normal 15% for other forms of gambling including online bingo.
Many people will know that my family and I have been subject to a
campaign of false allegations by Esther Baker for the past 4 1/2
years. Yesterday there was a court judgment Baker v Hemming

I am so relieved that John Hemming is championing this campaign, bingo is what made Great Britain famous.
Why should an industry thay puts a smile on peoples faces, be in such a disadvantaged position all because of a ruddy excesive tax,
Bingo for many people whether they win or loose, takes them out of the stresses of every day life for a few hours a day, winning money is not the benefit for people to go to these clubs it's the last thing on their mind, they go for the atmoshphere and a good night out.
If these taxes are not changed John, these Bingo Halls, which might I add are based in some of the most fantastic, and architectually stunning buildings in the UK will surely disapear. a great Icon of the british culture will sadly become just folk law.
