86 year old War Veteran mugged for Bingo winnings


I have just been reading today's Sun newspaper and came across the shocking story of a man being mugged for his £1,000 bingo winnings.

Apparently the 86 year old victim was robbed of his winnings just a few moments after leaving his local bingo hall... clearly the hooded mobsters new that people leaving the hall would be carrying big wads of cash.

It raises the question of whether bingo halls should have more security present. I dare say this chap no longer feels safe when going to play bingo, and indeed could have now been put off for the rest of his life. It's just another example of broken britain if you ask me. When a war veteran can't even spend an evening at his local bingo hall without encountering trouble... just what is this country coming to?
