Poker Mania

Is it me or has the UK gone stark raving poker mad? It seems like evey late night TV channel schedule isn't complete without it's very own casino website sponsered poker tournament variant. I can't help but be secretly pleased at the idea of pro gambling scheduling in what is rapidly becoming a nanny (or should that be police) state, but at the same time can't help wondering how long before some point scoring politician in search of a crusade decides it's time to ask questions in the house about the corruption of the poor british publich who are, let's face it, incapable of making their own decisions. It's not long ago that a similar situation arose when someone in government suggested that the UK should become the next vegas with large licensed casinos... boy did that cause a stir!
