Well, I could answer that, and I’m going to! Voodoo! That’s right, that’s what I said. Voodoo! Seems Bingo fans have gone to extreme measures, in a bid to make the Government listen to them. As you may be aware, the Government, so far, has been oblivious to all the usual lines of diplomacy…and logic. Every petition, every protest, and even the fact that they know the Bingo Halls are struggling, and people are losing their jobs (since their last lot of new ‘Bills’), has failed to have any effect whatsoever. So, now, Bingo fans everywhere feel they have no option, but to turn to the dark side…
For those people who are going to loose their jobs, and/or loose an important part of their social life, this definitely isn't to be taken lightly. There are a lot of people who have just had either, or both, put at risk. Simply because, the Government has decided to put another nail in the coffin, of the Bingo Industry, and target Bingo for a Tax Hike. It does seem incredible, that the Government has ONLY targeted the Bingo Industry. Why haven’t any other Gaming Sectors been hit? Why raise only the taxes for Bingo, to 22%? Why not raise the taxes for ALL the gaming sectors, by a more marginal amount? It seems we all have so many questions, yet, so few answers… no doubt, the saga will continue.. let's just hope, it doesn't all end in tears :(
