This filthy vice is nothing to be proud of. Especially in a country on the brink of folding.
The yobs want it. And the exploiters will provide it.
Facilitated by poxy politicians. Although of course, all is available on-line, one way or another.
Alcohol, smack, gambling – escape routes but of course they are’nt anything of the sort. Anyone remember when the Labour party were promoting super -casinos in the UK?
