Reform UK are selling Black Shirts on their website — for £349. I think this is illegal. TL;DR — they are breaking Small Society Lottery, Gambling Commission and GDPR regulations. Aside from the ludicrous price tag and on-the-nose fascist connotations, they force you to partake in a lottery for an extra £1. This is non-negotiable, and you cannot buy a shirt without gambling a quid — we'll get to that in a minute. What's the prize, I hear you all clamouring? Well, you can win … a group lunch that Nigel Farage will be at. Oh! 🥺 Not an individual lunch, but a group lunch with others. It doesn't state that you even get to meet the man himself, and you have to fund your own travel expenses … after security vetting. OK, that's all a bit of a faff, but what of the legalities behind this odd lottery? Firstly, they claim to have registered themselves with Westminster Council as a Small Society Lottery in order to run this scheme. Small society lotteries as defined under the Gambling Act 2005 state that: The “society” running the lottery must be non-commercial / non-profit in purpose: charities, sports clubs, community organisations etc. cannot be run for private or commercial gain. Westminster Council's own website stipulates that: The society must be established and conducted for: — charitable purposes — the purpose of enabling participation in, or of supporting, sport, athletics, or a cultural activity — any other non-commercial purpose other than that of private gain Reform UK fits none of these criteria and even goes so far to state within its own Ts & Cs: 100% of lottery proceeds will be applied to the political purposes of Reform UK. So, commercial and political gain — not only against the spirt of the Small Society Lotteries, but I think, against the rules entirely. The second aspect of their lottery hustle is that, in order to buy a shirt, you must also purchase a lottery ticket, thereby forcing your hand and offering no free alternative — illegal I believe under GDPR rules and the Gambling Commission. By requiring a purchase, it likely counts as 'consideration' tied to chance — that makes it not a free draw and therefore cannot be registered as a non-commercial Small Society Lottery. From the Advertising Standards Agency: If the entry to a draw is contingent on payment, there must generally be a free-entry route available to avoid classification as an unlawful lottery. If no free-entry route is offered, and entry is effectively “forced” via purchase, the promotion would likely be deemed an illegal lottery. So by embedding this mandatory lottery purchase as condition on buying the shirt, I believe it is an illegal lottery. So, to wrap up, I genuinely believe this an illegal enterprise. By forcing people to gamble, on condition of buying a shirt … is illegal. By running a Small Society Lottery for commercial profit … is illegal. Who the hell is going to stop these shysters? Tag in your MP and anyone you can think of. I will register an official complaint with the ICO - Information Commissioner's Office and see what transpires, but they appear to be hawking illegal merch as if they were in Deptford market. Some screenshots and a video of the buying process are below.

A Florida couple taped two losing lottery tickets together, drove to the lottery office to claim $1 MILLION and told investigators they were "honest people who aren't into fraud." The lottery agent spotted the fake in seconds. They had signed their real names on the claim form. – Kira Enders and her boyfriend Dakota Jones lived in DeFuniak Springs in northern Florida. – In March 2024 Enders took a $50 scratch card called 500X The Cash to the Florida Lottery office in Pensacola and submitted a claim for $1 MILLION. – The ticket was two separate losing scratch cards ripped horizontally and taped together. – Then laminated to hide the joins. The words on the back of the two halves did not match. – Lottery officials identified it as fake within seconds of seeing it. – Before she submitted the claim Enders had already taken the ticket to three different stores to scan it. – All three machines said it was not a winner. She went to the lottery office anyway. – She had written her full name and home address on the official claim form. – She had signed an acknowledgment of the penalties for submitting a fraudulent ticket. – A lottery special agent called her six days later and asked her to come in to sign paperwork for her large prize claim. She drove straight back with Jones. – They were arrested the moment they walked through the door. – Both told investigators completely different stories about where the ticket came from. – Jones told investigators Enders knew the numbers did not match. Enders told investigators Jones had nothing to do with it. – Jones told the arresting officer "we are honest people and we are not into fraud." – The sheriff said publicly "if you are going to try to claim a million dollars you have got to do a lot better than this." – Both face charges including forgery and grand theft over $100,000 which carries a maximum of 40 years in prison. They taped two losing tickets together, laminated them, drove to the lottery office, signed their real names on the fraud form, got caught in seconds, came back six days later when investigators called, and told police they were honest people.

every game you play expecting your jungler to help is a game you already lost let me explain you're playing a 1v1. that's it. you and the enemy laner. everything else is noise if you NEED a gank to win lane you don't deserve to win lane the best players in the world? they play like they're alone. every game. they assume no help is coming. they ward for themselves. they track jungle themselves. they win lane themselves then when a gank comes it's a bonus. not a rescue you're playing the opposite way you're losing lane and praying for intervention. that's not a strategy. that's a lottery ticket here's what happens when you rely on your jungler: he ganks and you win? you learned nothing. you didn't win lane. he did he doesn't gank and you lose? you tilt. you flame. you blame. you learn nothing again either way you stay hardstuck because your rank isn't built on wins. it's built on skill. and skill comes from solving problems yourself not having someone else solve them for you here's the mindset shift: jungle is rng. sometimes you get camped. sometimes you get ignored. you can't control it what you CAN control is whether you win lane without help make that the standard. not the exception play every lane like your jungler is afk. ward like no one's watching your back. track like your life depends on it. because it does the players who climb aren't the ones who get the most ganks they're the ones who need them the least stop waiting for help become the help Study the Saskio way
