Did anyone catch this on the BBC just?
Did you see those people throwing thousands of pounds away? I made me feel ill...Give it to me and at least I'll put it to good use instead of lining the pockets of the Hilton Family!
That one woman has lost 4 million dollars in 7 years!!!
Good god

I didn't see it all, but I did see that woman who had lost $4m in 7 years. It's sickening really when you consider that even in their own country (which is a rich nation) there are people living on the breadline. I do wonder how some of these people can sleep at night, including the people who actually run these places.0
