  1. There's a really good Dispatches documentary on it here: http://www.channel4.com/programmes/dispatches/videos/all/britains-high-street-gamble.

    The interesting side of it is that the gambling industry claim that they don't put bookies in areas of multiple social deprivation. There is one bookie in David Cameron's home town, tucked up a side alley. There are streets in towns with eleven or twelve bookies within a two-minute walk of each other.

    Yeah if you go by any rough estate or town, of the few shops that are open and flourishing, the bookies will certainly be one of them.

    I read that Glasgow city centre has the highest concentration of these machines in the UK, and also has the highest rate of money spent on gambling.

    I personally wouldn't go on them, but can sympathize with those who can get addicted to them.

  2. Is there any Media outlets(enemies of Rangers©) left for them to boycott/complain about?

    It really is astounding how naive and malleable the majority of their support are.

    It's pretty embarassing for me as a Rangers fan, to see some official statement come out discrediting every story critical or questioning the club as some sort of media conspiracy. Every time the fans lap it up and then every time it turns out the board are covering something up.

    It seems to most of the fans that if you don't swallow the club's lines, then you are no true fan.
