Profits from the National Lottery are supposed to be distributed to good causes.
This week we read that yet a further £47 million is to be wasted on the Millennium Dome. Perhaps now would be a good time to remind the city's MP Hugh Bayley and his fellow Labour ministers that St. Leonard's Hospice in York only needs a further £636,293 to reach its £2 million target.
Perhaps the Evening Press would like to host a survey on peoples definition of 'What is a good cause?'
Possible choices could include The National Opera House which has received £80 million of Lottery money, The Millennium Dome which has received £120 million of Lottery money and St. Leonard's Hospice which hasn't received anything.
