Wales Seek to wrest control of their FOBT ‘problem’ from UK government

The Welsh Government are seeking responsibility to govern the regulations surrounding Fixed Odds Betting Terminals, taking control from Westminster, after issuing an amendment to the Wales Bill.

I live in a country called Wales. It’s not a part of London, as many Las Vegas poker dealers seem to think. It’s two hours from London and if you were a spaceman looking down from the ISS then it’s the one that looks like a pig’s head.

Many notable stars have come from Wales.

Anthony Hopkins, the guy who likes to eat human liver with fava beans and a nice Chianti, is from Wales. Michael Douglas’s wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones, is from Wales. Tom fricking Jones is from Wales. And as a Moroccan football shirt salesman once reminded me during a trip into the depths of the souk in Marrakech “nothing happens in Wales without Ryan Giggs say-so.”
