This is about the fact that bingo uniquely pays 22% tax rather than the normal 15% for other forms of gambling including online bingo.
People who read my blog will be aware that I have for some time argued that most (if not all) diseases of aging are caused by cells not being able to produce enough of the right proteins. What happens is that certain genes stop functioning because of a metabolic imbalance. I was, however, mystified as to why it was always particular genes that stopped working. Recently, however, there have been three papers produced: Aging is associated with a systemic length-associated transcriptome imbalance Age- or lifestyle-induced accumulation of genotoxicity is associated with a generalized shutdown of long gene transcription and Gene Size Matters: An Analysis of Gene Length in the Human Genome From these it is obvious to see that the genes that stop working are the longer ones. To me it is therefore obvious that if there is a shortage of nuclear Acetyl-CoA then it would mean that the probability of longer Genes being transcribed would be reduced to a greater extent than shorter ones.

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.
