Closed Give the national lottery to richard brandson to run

Closed on

In these troubled times, when credit is scarce and people fear for their jobs, more of us than ever are willing to dip into our pockets and hand over a £1
But £2 a ticket is immorall in these curent economic times

Camelot is and always has been in the business of running the Lottery for profit
No other private company enjoys a government-protected monopoly, and free prime-time television publicity every week as Camelot does.

Many people have asked why they need to keep any of the takings, apart from what they need for their operating costs and rightly so

richard brandson said he would run it
NOT FOR PROFIT

give the contract to run the lottery to richard branson
