Default UK Players - Who is this joker?

Is this a serious threat, or just political pandering?

Mike Weir, the SNP MP for Angus, last week called on the government to take strong action, similar to that passed by the US Congress, making it illegal for banks and credit card companies to process payments to online gambling companies.
He also lodged a motion at the House of Commons to push the campaign.
Weir last night told The Herald: "I'm very pleased about that (the banks' action), it's a significant step forward.
"But, I think we need to go further than that and introduce it (a ban on online gambling) in the UK.
