William Hill sponsors the Monster raving looney party

On the run up to the general election in the UK, William Hill have sponsored the famous Monster raving looney party, which will mean they change their name on the ballot paper to say Monster Raving Looney William Hill Party. The Monster raving looney party was formed in 1982 by the late Lord Sutch.

“We believe that parties like the Loony Party are an essential part of British democracy and eccentricity and that the world would be a poorer place if there was no room in politics for a little harmless levity,” said Graham Sharpe, Media Relations Director of William Hill.

In the past William Hill sponsored Lord Such on many occasions before his death in 1999 as he ran for parliament.

William Hill shares rise 9%

William Hill one of the largest bookmakers in the UK and now a very popular online casino has had a 9% rise in it’s share price. William Hill expects future profits to rise sharply as it cracks down on costs this year and next year. William Hill last month moved allot of its gambling operation to Gibraltar saving the company a huge amount of money in taxes, as did Ladbrokes for the same reasons. “William Hill Online is continuing to make good progress with especially strong growth in sportsbook volumes,” commented William Hill’s chief exec Ralph Topping.

Ladbrokes and William Hill moving offshore

Two of Britain’s biggest bookmakers Ladbrokes and William Hill are thinking of moving offshore due to the UK 15% betting tax which they think is too high. Victor Chandler and Paddy Power pay 1.5% tax as they are based offshore. William Hill chief executive Ralph Topping is going to announce on Wednesday when the company reports come out whether they are moving online sports and phone betting to Gibraltar or not. Ladbrokes has kept quieter about its plans but will have to make a decision based on William Hills actions.

The result of the companies going offshore will cost the UK allot of money and cost the treasury allot in tax revenue.
