Tony Love is the Reform UK Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for the Ipswich constituency. Below is short summary of his background.
Biography
I was born in Shoreham-by-Sea, West Sussex, in June 1955. My father was in the Royal Navy for 17 years, joining as an artificer and leaving as a Chief Petty Officer. The family were shuffled from one port to another, mostly along the south coast although I did live for a short time, aged six months, in a flat above a chip shop, near the lighthouse in Harwich!
Children of naval servicemen in the 1960s were eligible to attend The Royal Hospital School in Holbrook, Suffolk. These were the most important years of my life where I was transformed from a toerag into an acceptable human being. Mental arithmetic was my strongest attribute and aged nineteen I was working in the Playboy Casino in Park Lane, London.
I was there for seven years as a Dealer and then Inspector of Blackjack, Roulette and Punto Banco (similar to Chemin de Fer) before training croupiers to do the same. When the Playboy Casino closed I moved to a casino in Hans St (SW3) which then relocated to Curzon St, Mayfair.
In 1987 I opened my first Licensed Betting Office in Haslemere, Surrey and spent the next 30 years as an independent bookmaker. Eventually regulatory costs and internet competition overwhelmed the ‘independents’ and I closed my last shop in Liphook, Hampshire in August 2018. I then moved to Felixstowe and now have an antique shop in the town, on the High Street.
