Nanny-state is now attacking Tesco gambling

Tesco have upset a local councillor in Scotland after introducing slot machines in their cantine.

Is there any private space that busy-bodies don’t like sticking their nose in? Whether it is smoking in your car, or nasty politicians telling you how much sugar you can eat, it seems that every space is now totally and utterly violated by the nanny-state.

Well, unsurprisingly now some jobsworth councillor in Dundee, Scotland, called Lesley Brennan has tried to stop Tesco installing a slot machine in their staff canteen.

Last time I check Tesco was a private company, no? Is what they do with their canteens the business of anyone other than their employees?

And lo and behold! Their employees wanted the machine installed so that they could raise cash for charity fundraising causes. That politicians think they have the right to boss people about and tell them what they can and can’t do is so utterly infuriating, that I feel like I need to have a lie down in a darkened room after writing this!
