Yes, the National Lottery is money from the public but it is money that is voluntarily given - not tax. If people are unhappy with the way the money is spent then they should not let their greed get in the way of giving to charity and give the money direct to good causes because let's be honest no one is actually buying a ticket because they're doing someone else good!

Why is funding not available to pay insurance for smaller events? Think you're clutching at straws to use that as a complaint.

As for the legacy, yes, community relations is a factor. But I'm curious about who this 'group of people' is - please explain more who we're discrimating against?
