Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

The Gambling Act 2005: A bet worth taking?

THE Gambling Act of 2005 has attracted much comment. Decisions of Haringey (as Licensing Authority) were amongst the first in the country to be tested against this Act in Magistrates Courts. With the powerful Act on their side, the Gambling "Industry" unfortunately and unsurprisingly won hands down in Court.

Okay, Clive. If I'm spoiling your sunny weekend by agreeing with you, I'm happy to pretend to disagree.
