Bet the farm, Tony!

Iain Macwhirter in the Herald...

New Labour plays the moral bankruptcy card: "It's hard not to conclude that the government itself has become an extension of the multi-billion-pound gambling industry. I know that sounds a little paranoid, but what else are we to conclude? Nothing better illustrates the moral bankruptcy of New Labour.

It seems to want to give as many reasons as possible for people not to vote for it in the May elections. As if Iraq and cash for honours weren't enough, here we have government of the left promoting this evil and insidious form of human exploitation. Well, if it isn't careful, Labour could lose the entire pot."
