I agree with the Secular society.

Or claiming charitable status for pushing drugs.

Charity fetes frequently have tombola stalls or raffles in which bottles of alcohol are given away as prizes. Should this practice be banned as pushing drugs for charity?

What about race nights which are sometimes organised to raise funds for charity? Should they be banned as pushing gambling addictions?

Are these equivalent to an 8m£ business?

It wasn't the point of my post that you seem to have taken umbrage to. That post was a reply to Anchorman's description of his churchyard and the point of it was that Buckfast going away is unlikely to improve the situation, unless the local Buckfast drinkers move to a poison that doesn't come in bottles that smash when you drop them on gravestones.

Umbrage? Seems you  are confused. Was just pointing out that you essentially agree with the OP in not offering charitable status

Wow I'm in the wrong job.

Dunno about other denominations, but they are banned in the CofS.

It's mixed. Baptists are dry in my experience and don't hold raffles. CofE isn't and will have a tombola stall but wouldn't go so far as a race night IME - they belong to the PTA.

What's that got to do with it? I was responding to your specific disapproval of pushing drugs for charity. I wanted to know where you draw the line.

I'd like to see race nights banned but only so I never get dragged along to one ever again.
