David Lammy: betting news

The MP for Tottenham in the Standard : The pattern is clear: the gambling industry is targeting deprived areas, saturating them with more outlets. Mare Street, in Hackney, now has eight such establishments; Green Lanes Parade, in Haringey, had its ninth application approved last Thursday — all within 350 metres of each other. Now residents are saying enough is enough. The concentration of so much gambling in one area can change the character of a neighbourhood and send all the wrong messages to young people. A friend of mine, after reading the MP for Tottenham in the Standard: He's the, er, higher education minister. Fascinating London policy intervention. William Hill's London Mayor Specials : David Lammy: 25/1 Also: Boris Johnson: Evens Ken Livingstone: 10/1 Alan Sugar: 12/1 Jon Cruddas: 16/1 Lord Mandelson 20/1 Diane Abbott: 50/1 No price on James Purnell, despite a recent confident prediction . I wonder what Hills would offer if asked.
