Two Little Fleas wanted to create a page where anyone could voice their views on any issue related to bingo, gaming or gambling; that’s why we created Bingo Bloggers in July 2014 to provide a space where bingo lovers could write without constraint about the game they love. If you think you have what it takes, we would love to hear from you! All you need is a strong passion for bingo and a word processor. Email us at info@twolittlefleas.co.uk introducing yourself and let us know what you would like to write about!

This is the case whether concerning the gambling industry, alcohol industry, or smoking industry (my three vices, you see). However, this week, there has been one particular call for… Read more »

Cheap gimmicks from Labour
