BRITISH POLITICAL AND HORSERACING GOVERNMENT

TAKING A CLOSER LOOK AT HOW GOVERNMENT ARE SPENDING TAX PAYERS MONEY:

Should the long outdated dark age political and horseracing bloodhorse illiterate  government remain in practice?


TAKING A CLOSER LOOK AT ENERGY BILLS:

Do the British people realise how they are being ripped off financially right across the board by government?

 
Select A FixTHE GOVERNMENT'S PROPOSED NEW RAILWAY TRACK BUILD
Surely the British people need to have their say about government spending money as this. 
Similar to the Bank scandal. The Legal scandal.  
Especially due to the present severe poverty burdened upon so many British people by government.

 British financial facts, severe poverty found throughout this country

All political parties are said to be in agreement in spending all this money.  But what about all the British people?

British political and horseracing government poverty segregation as found on Titanic.,  as shown in both World War horrors, throughout and on to date 2014,

What do the British people have to say about building a new railway track at this time?  Surely before any government go ahead takes place there should be a British People Vote for or against. Until that ‘People Vote’ government need to put their railway project on hold.

In remembrance of Julian Wilson

THE PASSIONATE THOUGHTS OF
JULIAN WILSON

The Life and Times of Julian Wilson

Published in the Racing Post Sacred Sunday April 27th 2014.  Page 12


"SPORTS writer Peter Wilson was, famously, the Daily Mirror’s “man they can’t gag” , and there is no doubt some involved in the administration of racing will have wished at times that ‘they’ had been a bit more successful with son Julian.


“Julian Wilson, who died this week aged 73, will be best remembered as the face of BBC racing, but he was a successful owner, shrewd punter and dedicated observer of the sport he loved.
 
“He offered his views without fear or favour, and the Racing Post often provided the medium  -  in race reports, in letters and, for a time, in his Mr Angry column (the clue was in the name)


“We have trawled our archives to produce a selection of Wilson’s views – always perceptive, never less than passionate – on various issues integral to the sport.

“Whether you agree with them or not, you simply couldn’t ignore them. And some of those in the firing line may want to reach for the flak jacket one last time …


“Too much racing hurting staff
October 10, 2000
"The staff situation is virtually at crisis level at all except the top half-dozen stables. Lads are being asked to work 29 days out of 31 and they are making mistakes and not doing their jobs properly. A lot of them are drifting out of racing because they can’t cope.


 “Trying to keep on top of the form

October 10, 2000

“With non-stop racing, it is absolutely impossible to keep on top of the form, nobody could do it … I specialise in handicapping horses rated 75 and above  - I don’t bother with the rest – but even so it still takes me a whole day every week.



“Exchanges not good for racing or betting markets

November 27, 2003
“Exchanges have been more damaging to horseracing than any other concept in my racing lifetime. They have caused damage to owners and trainers; to professional and semi professional punters; to bookmakers; to the funding of racing; and, worst of all to the image of the sport … the truth is that betting exchanges are a charter for cheats; and this at a time when racing claims to be straighter than ever … in a nutshell, small players on Betfair are ruining the market for those entitled to a decent bet.



“2004 Christmas wishlist
December 23, 2004
“To the RCA (or BHB). Please put a block on building all-weather tracks on Grade 1 racecourses. The idea of staging the interminable dull sand racing at Newmarket, Newbury and Kempton (in place of jumping) is sacrilegious to the tradition of British racing. It is to escape the squalor and tedium of dirt racing that American owners come to race in Britain.


“The direction of Channel 4 Racing June 21, 2005
“Except for big-race-days, its Saturday broadcasts have fallen into a pattern of showing ‘bookmakers’ handicaps’ – there were no fewer than eight last Saturday – with the emphasis on the Scoop6 … its visual focus is increasingly  on the ‘lads’ lager culture, extending to drinking in the betting ring. The message now reads; ‘Come Drinking’,  rather than ‘Come Racing’ .


Saturday racing in decline
July 19, 2005
“Week after week Saturday’s race results make horrific reading for punters. Once, Saturday was the most popular and successful day for most horse players. Nowadays, Mr Angry, for one rarely bets on a Saturday. Last Saturday, all six favourites were beaten at Newbury, and six out of seven beaten at Newmarket.


“On the Gambling Commission
July 7, 2005
“Now we are to become slaves once and for all on the betting and gambling industries, following the creation of the Gambling Commission.


“Too many meetings in the 2006 fixture list. August 2, 2005
“The treadmill is driven ever faster, and trainers and jockeys face heightening levels of burn – out. It is disheartening to see jockey’s who were superb earlier in the season now making regular mistakes, and existing like zombies … stress levels have never been higher, and several trainers, including Henry Cecil, James Fanshawe and Clive Brittain, have, at various times, become teetotal. Even the high-living Barry Hills has become a ‘selective drinker’ .


“Racing driven by gambling

September 27, 2005
“Racing now is driven entirely by gambling.
“ The future of racing is wall -to -wall betting opportunities, embracing 11am banded meetings, races every ten minutes each afternoon, twilight meetings at Great Leighs and floodlit evening all-weather meetings at Kempton, Musselburgh and Wolverhampton. What a nightmare. How can stable staff, especially from smaller stables be expected to cope efficiently? And what of the supply of competent stewards – unpaid, and collecting a mere 24p a mile travel expenses? How long will they endure monotonous evening meetings, without so much as a glass of port to warm them up?



Ascot rebuild June 27, 2006

“Sadly, [they] created a monster that has changed the face of the royal meeting forever. “It just isn’t the Ascot that we used to know’ was the most widely heard comment from Mr Angry’s generation … the new Ascot, at the expensive end, is a creature of two halves. On the one hand a monstrously crowded grandstand and paddock area, a non-stop turmoil of shoving and jostling, and on the other some 200 yards away, a delightfully serene area of luncheon tents, seafood bars and open lawns far removed from the sight of a racehorse … sadly, it is a triumph of commerce over style, and glitz over content. I fear that hundreds, if not thousands, of the so-called ‘elite’ will never return.






Kempton all-weather
July 25, 2006
“You cannot please all of the people all of the time, but Kempton seems to have driven away the whole lot.



Sale of the Tote
“August 22, 2006
“In my view, the HRA [Horse Racing Authority] should challenge in court the government’s right to ‘sell’ the Tote, whose ownership Westminster has claimed by default.  In the  1929 Act, there was no reference to proprietary or reversionary rights.  If the Tote falls into outside hands, it will no longer fulfil its original aims … its demise would be the ultimate surrender to commercial predators.




48-hour declarations
August 22, 2006
“The commercial fantasists who claim that sales of ‘the product’ overseas will enrich UK racing by up to  20 million by 2008 are living in cloud cuckoo land. All that has happened by introducing 48-hour declarations is the creation of a ‘product’ that is not only unacceptable overseas , but unacceptable domestically, too.




“Champions Day 2006
August 22, 2006
“It is hard to imagine a more entertaining and thrilling day’s racing than last Saturday’s Champion’s Day. For this old, insular traditionalist, it beats the Breeders Cup hands down.



“Prize-money March 26, 2007
“If stakeholders cannot unite over such fundamental and straightforward issues as prize-money, what possible chance is there of the industry ‘putting its house in oirder’ , as requested regularly by lazy and apathetic politicians?



“BBC spending cuts
November 27,2008
“It’s heartbreaking, but I’m afraid there is no way back. The simple fact is there are not the people in the corporation who are interested in televising racing and the viewing figures do not justify the substantial outlay that a racing outside broadcast requires.


“On the Grand National being switched from BBC to Channel 4
April 11, 2012
“I think it’s one of the most catastrophic mistakes that the people with power in racing have ever made. I think it’s an absolute disaster. Channel 4 covers racing magnificently , but it is still a minority channel. The BBC’s audience is now down to around 8.5 million, but I think the audience on Channel 4 will drop to five or six million, at the most. The sponsors will walk away from the Derby before long as well.  The decision to remove racing from the BBC will cost horseracing millions.



“The 2014 fixture list
November 15, 2013
“Now we have the grotesque reality of horseracing on Good Friday, one of the two holiest days in the Christian calendar  … Lord Howard has objected to all-weather racing being viewed as the ‘poor relation’  and ‘Cinderella’ of British racing. That iis exactly what it is.  Attendances, in winter, are minimal. The kickback is frequently unacceptable, and it has proved to be a hot-bed of corruption in recent years … it is time the BHA demonstrates it represents the interests of horseracing, rather than betting operators and entrepreneurs. “
