Gordon Brown offers gamblers protection from the US Friday, February 23, 2007
According to today's business section of The Telegraph, Gordon Brown looks set to encourage online gambling businesses to register in the UK and bring them under UK regulatory oversight.
He will entice firms with a change in the taxation of such concerns.
Now this may mean the US authorities reclassify the UK as a country harbouring "racketeers", given their attitude to online gambling.
If Gordon Brown does make this change, then perhaps he will honour one of the earliest reasons for people paying tax/tribute, namely to receive protection & begin his premiership by tackling the present US hostage-taking of UK businessmen.
