I see. On television advertising, I confess that when channel-hopping using my Sky package, the amount of advertising of lottos, bingos and all sorts of things, especially on satellite channels, seems to be growing exponentially. Is it necessary to have such extensive advertising? It cannot be prevented from appearing on the side of football pitches during Premier League matches and the like. Is it necessary to normalise gambling through bingo and lotteries to the extent that is happening in the UK?
