This is not an empty threat

"This is not an empty threat."

Those were the words uttered by UK culture secretary Andy Burnham during debate in the UK Parliament. He was speaking about the UK gambling industry's less-than-unanimous support for the industry's voluntary levy to support problem gambling.

Earlier this week, we posted about how the UK gambling industry was not honoring its voluntary obligations, and commented on how this was not only an ethical issue, but it was also a stupid business decision.

Well, Mr. Burnham was equally outraged at the situation and he used the opportunity to remind the non-paying operators that their status as non-contributors will be reviewed the next time their licenses are assessed.

Good for you, Mr. Burnham.
