Dispatches and the Adam Smith Institute are both set to condemn the government's gambling plans this Monday. A leaked report from the ASI i've got hold of says the gambling commission 'isn't fit for purpose'. The right wing think tank's main criticism seems to be that the commission is spending too much, it's budget having soared from £3m to £15.4m pa. To be honest, I'm more interested in hearing what dispatches has to say - I remain pretty unconvinced by the government's case, even though I don't have any moral objection's to gambling myself (and to be honest, I think there are far worse social ills which need to be tackled). The ASI is pretty scathing of the gambling commission's power in dealing with online gaming outlets however, the majority of which will remain incorporated offshore and unregulated.
