"Sit down before you fall down... OF A HEART ATTACK, love."
Video games are to blame for many, many of the ills of society that's an absolute, stone-cold point of conjecture and also point-scoring for politicians with a name to make. Step up to the naming chair: Labour MP for Denton and Reddish, Andrew Gwynne.
Andrew decided to spend his valuable time with the secretary of state for health to ask:
"How many cases of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism diagnosed in the NHS were attributed to immobility through video gaming in each of the last five years."
He got his hard-hitting response from Anne Milton (Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Public Health), Health; Guildford, Conservative):
"This information is not collected by the Department."
You might have thought that he would have known that before scapegoating gaming.

Sorry to say this but you reflect the contempt shown in the gaming industry and misread the message - please go to www.take-time-out.info and read what can happen when you are immobile for several hours - perhaps you then might consider a more positive "spin" on the messages you wish to give out to the gaming community.
