...While Anglican Bishop wants law to be clarified
Created: Nov 10, 2003 10:00 AM
The Bishop of Bermuda has urged the Island to clear up its inconsistent laws on gambling. Ewen Ratteray said the local Anglican church had not formed a position on gambling.
But asked for his own views he said: ?I think Bermuda needs to be honest about this gambling thing and come to terms with it. We have it in some form or other.
?The laws are very strange about all this. We have Crown and Anchor, that?s allowed on occasion, but other things are not.
?We need to come clean on and either legalise it all together or prohibit it all together. This sort of ambivalent, in between situation we have is neither here nor there. It doesn?t make a great deal of sense. We need to come out on one side or another.?
