I think good causes should start like charity, at HOME.... Let the lottery send me a few thousand I could do with it. Basically the lottery hand outs are subsidies for a failed state provision anyway, so the lottery and the charities make beggars of us all.
The one-armed, black,disabled refugee gets the priorities.... why isn't lottery funding poured into getting our young people into work ?
I don't know if there is a charity for miserable old white men with giant chips on their shoulders, but you sure qualify for a handout of happiness.
Why don't you save a few quid by turning your computer off!

I agree that jobs should be created but there are very little at the moment in this area and that is a bad thing. As far as using the lottery money to fund this I'm afraid it would barely make a dent so there is no point in pursuing it.

And that's on top of the huge amount it already gets from the state.
Or are only certain minorities deserving in your view?
