Maybe it's a clue



Man wins £70,000 payout after medication caused compulsive gambling habit

A66-year-old man who became a compulsive gambler and shopper after being prescribed a medication for restless leg syndrome has received a £70,000 settlement from his GP...

Leigh Day solicitors, which represented Mr Stevens, said the GP did not warn him of possible side-effects including an impulse control disorder which can cause uncontrollable gambling or shopping.



Interesting - Net Zero could certainly be described as uncontrollable gambling on a vast scale. Mass immigration too. The government is more casino than responsible government. 

Maybe it's a clue.

Aye, or the response to Covid.

They certainly love spending money. It would be OK if it were their own money rather than ours.

This bunch of clowns is now gambling on building 1.5 million hoses. By whom? Where? Who for? Pick a card - any card...

dearieme - yes, that's another one.

Sam - some kind of penalty would be an improvement, but they just skip from one comfortable billet to another.

Scrobs - that one seems impossible unless they are thinking of shanty towns with no facilities.

"Leigh Day solicitors". Where have I heard that firm's name before, and does Phil Shiner still get invited to the Christmas parties?

Penseivat - Leigh Day seem to become involved in a number of high profile cases, but I'd forgotten about Phil Shiner. To me he always sounds like a old time comic actor who was never very funny.
