A new Prime Minister will be in place today and she will be the luckiest Prime Minister ever! Without a single vote outside from around 200 Conservative MP’s she has managed to climb the greasy poll and win the game of political poker without breaking sweat. She was on the wrong side of the […]
So David Cameron believes he can lose the May 2015 General Election and still be Prime Minister in June 2015! That is some gamble if he thinks that possibility is viable. If he loses the May 2015 by having less seats than Labour then he has lost 2 elections in a row. OK the Tories […]
Today is a new start for online poker, betting and bingo operators. From today the 1st December, 2014 the online operators will have to pay 15% tax on income generated from UK players and not just the tax rate they pay in offshore territories in which they exist.

I was once in a game of pub poker when in my very first hand I was in the big blind and I was dealt with a pair of 7’s. There was a small raise, I called and the flop produced 7,7 and a king. Happy days! There were 4 people in the hand and […]
Why would you have a person who is just a back bencher, has not done anything to change the world and has no potential for advancement to higher position in the governance of the UK as being worthy of a poker profile?
