Gambling and the FA

that UK MPs are v worried about corruption in UK sport as manifest in the
various gambling activities among sportsfolk. The Guardian quotes a Dept of
Culture Media and Sport spokesperson as having said "There is no doubt that
our rules preventing betting cheats are some of the toughest in the world.
We believe it is right that sports bodies and bookmakers should share
information."
So, in order to rein in cheats the UK places hard rules and regulations in
place, wants everyone to squeal on everyone else, and wants others to do
similarly.
Anyway, I hope that Gib tells the UK where to get off. Or better still, how
about the UK gets proactive about getting Gib into UEFA and FIFA, after
which the UK could count with Gib's full cooperation? After all the FA
hindered Gib's application to UEFA, why should we bend over backwards now
that they need us?

The FA = UEFA = Something to do with Gibraltar. I think this has more to do
with fighting financial crime. Is Gib afraid of tough regulations to fight
financial crime? It has a 'certain' reputation already, you want it to get
worse?
Furthermore I cannot see any reference to the FA in those links you
supplied, so why mention them at all?

That 'certain reputation' is a myth promoted by the
Spanish Government as an attempt to undermine the
Gibraltar economy and supported by trolls like
Antony Willis a bitter little shit who dares not
mention his name.

Perhaps we should rename this NG as alt.spain you seem to talk about Spain
more than Gibraltar!
This NG is about Gibraltar isn't it?
Why is Gibraltar scared of tough laws to fight financial crime?
Jim Watt
>Why is Gibraltar scared of tough laws to fight financial crime?
Gibraltar already HAS 'tough laws to fight financial crime'
We need them because we live adjacent to one of the most
corrupt countries in Europe.
SPAIN.
Which tries to distract attention from itself by claiming
that there is a problem in Gibraltar.
Why are you a troll ?

This is about GIBRALTAR and Gibraltar's lax laws about internet gambling.
Absolutely nothing to do with Spain, nada.

The reputation you speak of is something put about by Sp in furtherance of
her political ambitions over my home. Gib is not afraid to fight financial
crime, as attensted by the various clean bills of health afforded it by the
OECD and IMF for example. I suppose you;d rather believe the Sp lies than
these bodies' reports.

You've used 2 links and they do not mention the FA, so are you making this

I never mentioned Spain, you did, you have an unhealthy pre-occupation with
Spain.
Get over it.
This is a GIBRALTAR NG, not alt.spain!!

No-one seems to care. Apart from us, the Portuguese, Moroccan and French
(curiously all those who have them as neighbours) the Sp are seen as a
fun-loving sunshine state where the rivers flow with Sangria. It hasn't
occurred to the tourists how much they're being overcharged for red wine so
nasty it has to be let down with lemonade!
Ken
AJW
So what you're saying is that Gib is fantastic and its Government can do no
wrong and that the Spanish are awful people (c*nts) and their Government is
worse?
Something that 'normal' people find very hard to believe but that's the
impression you get from this NG!
Jim Watt

I would say arse licking is an unhealthy occupation
and you pop up every time Spain is mentioned.
Jim Watt
Now where did that come from ? Oh I know its Antony Willis

Does anyone else agree with Jim Watt here that Gibraltar's reputation for
lax financial regulations is the fault of the Spanish government?

How ever do you think the expression "Spanish practices" became part of
English parlance?
Ken
Ken
I can't comment on the countries about which I know nothing, but of those
countries of which I know somethingSp comes across as the most corrupt among
them.
BTW - why are you cross-posting this? Making trouble again?
K
Ken
Yes. However the perception of such a state of affairs is common only in
Spain and among those who believe them. The OECD and IMF - and those who
believe THEM - know otherwise.
K
AJW
therefore the debate should be opened up.
Ken
Not by or with me it won't. I don't subscribe to or read soc.culture.spain,
and my posts are not being submitted there.
K
AJW
you should only post to soc.culture.spain!
Ken
While you claim the right to post wherever you want, such as here, while you
have no interst in Gib I shall retain the right NOT to post where I don't
want to.
K
AJW
Anti-Spanish bigots but apart from that, a great place.
Ken
That stance doesn't come across in your posts.

I could rant on about high prices & either low quality or small portions
or general poor attitude to tourists in Spain...
The EU cares little about the interestes of 30,000 people who have
little resources verses 40 million Spaniards. Their GDP is a bit higher
than Gib's so their interests will be higher on the agenda than Gib's.
Its always about trade.
Ken
Sad but true. I always wondered how keen the US and Blair would have been to
march into Iraq (and Kuwait a decade earlier) if instead of oil these places
had produced carrots and cucumbers.

The UAE are investing into tourism business parks and riche lifestyles
for good reason. Their oil is running low.
