I think much if not all of that is valid, Add and without doubt Darryl's sacking has propelled us a few light years further along.
I also wholeheartedly share your view on SC.
I also think there's sense in your comparison between Johnson and Mather, personality wise at least. I'd say one did a much better job than the other though.

It is amazing how many of these people who claim racism against them don’t hesitate to to use the race card when a promotion/job offer/HR issue raises its head……..
Unfortunately the UK is in a race to the bottom it seems.
Politicians aren’t paid enough hence the reason they milk expenses . They have a lack of integrity and everything is becoming political. When you have Supreme Court judges stopping the PM governing then the plot is already lost.
Judges are supposed to be politically neutral…….
Bozi, the DC situation is interesting. He claimed that he was merely carry out the wishes of the Board and that he was sacked when the Board changed its mind and this appears to have merit.
If I'm right about the release of the contingent liabilities in the last accounts, it's cost us £2m to get rid of DC and to my mind, the blame lies squarely with Mather and Twigger. This is not to say I thought he was any good - I didn't - and getting rid of him opened the way towards what most of us want.
Of positivity on solgold please, all going in the right direction, some great updates on the Ecuadorian. government Minning agreements
Kat - nobody realised Cazzubbo was a cuckoo. Nobody had a problem with him even despite the dialed down reserves, until he was fired which caught many by surprised.
I know this because I was the one who pointed out the BHP representation amongst the company's senior management at the time. That was addressed soon after for obvious reasons.
Politics is an odd one and lets face it, if you are good at your profession, successful in life, then you are not going to go into politics. It's not for successful people. It's for a certain type of person... the type that need some kind of feeling of self importance. That's why you rarely find and smart ones and most are just Eton drop outs types.
But placing that aside, can anyne seriously explain out of all the millions of people in the US.. why the most powerful country in the world (apparently) would head into their elections with two candiates... 1. An old man that can't string a sentence together or even stand up properly without falling over and 2. An absolute nutter who's associated with failed business, tax fiddles, call girls and laughed at global media? I just can't work that one out? Surely the US can find two better candidates than that??? That's how sad the world is... the fact that Russia can't get rid of Putin shows you that the 'free world' is far from free and the fact that the US has two absolutely 'wrong' candidates running for president tells teh west is not any different.
It's madness. Utterly bonkers world we live in today.
I hear you Add, I prefer "did" to "doing".
So, I will wait to read what Scott did, and not what we think he is doing!
Eloro, Doubting Thomas was killed with a spear, so if we take your analogy further, in your case the spear will be an RNS which strikes you through the heart. And bear in mind Jesus presented the evidence and told him to stop doubting and to believe...which is exactly what Caldwell's doing.
Cheers Mathers, I hope that both you and Add are right. I really need an holiday which will be my treat to myself should we get sold while I can still get up the stairs of an aircraft and not stumble like President Biden!
Add, equate me to the Apostle Thomas! Unless I can put my finger into his wound, I will continue to doubt. I will wait until we have an outcome before I start to sing his praise. I recall that we weren't going to see the 2023 agm, yet here we are.
Eloro,
This could be sold well before then, I personally can see this in someone else’s hands, who’s is the question

I wrote it for you, Eloro. I know how much you respect him.
Do you really believe we'll get to December without anything happening? The writing's on the wall in big capital letters and even those with a guide dog can read it.
😆 I knew that you would rally to Scott's defence Add 😆 He has 8 months to prove his worth before we vote again!
You're absolutely right there, Orthern. I would have a minimum age requirement for politicians of 40 and at leats 15 years work experience with absolutely no connection to politics. I'd also get rid of all those children who are described as Spads. They wield a huge level of influence and yet can barely tie their own shoelaces.
Just like we realised that DC was a cuckoo in the nest, having allegiance to a previous hostile regime, then the same applies to many of the 'elitists' who have the levers of power.
Ha! Good one, Eloro. Personally, I'd liken Johnson to Mather. All over the place with no clear strategy and a habit of upsetting people. This contrasts with Caldwell, who has a crystal clear strategy and an iron-willed determination to deliver it.
A degree in politics, paid for by mummy and daddy does not make anyone qualified to be a politician… No one under 35 who has never had any job or career, should be allowed to become an MP.
Life experience… preferably one showing success, beyond a subsidised lifestyle should be essential.
"No Irish, no blacks, no dogs" is obviously unacceptable and offensive, as I know many people who get a lot of love and companionship from dogs.
Good Morning Darren,
Standards have indeed fallen. However, I would rather be here than anywhere else.
Nonsense Kat, the ethnic folks in leadership positions demonstrates how far the country has progressed in the right direction. Not so long ago there were signs saying No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs. Now we have a non-White PM, even if I think he isn't a very capable PM. Kind of like Scott, he is the best we could get after Boris messed up 😆 For Boris, think DC!
Sadly, this is what happens when you have such low grade individuals who, through a combination of vanity, narcissism and blind ambition, decide they want to become politicians. There have always been bad politicians, but never before have we had some many of them - and this extends to those at local level. This is not just a UK problem, but extends throughout the Western world - America being the most egregious example.
We are very poorly served by our ruling elites and I'm afraid there's no light at the end of the tunnel.
England is being run ( into the ground ) for the benefit of everyone else but the English. Just look at the ethnicity of the leadership for a clue.
Morning all. Not solgold related so forgive me. I am absolutely amazed at how my homeland England has changed in 20 years! I had heard of a minister of common sense, but thought it was a joke! Is that real? Toilets for kids separate from boys and girls because they dont know what sex they are? A comment from a contributor to a political party that an mp makes him want to hate black women and she should be shot!! Wtf is happening in my beloved England!!

Is that you Sean Tufford?? This your next venture?
Lost me on diverse. In 2024 I am lock, stock and barrel against diversity now
The cycle always goes like this. M&A, existing producers then explorers
Without exporters you get no new assets. The crucial difference now is that there are few existing producers and even fewer that haven’t been taken over. Eventually they have to look at figure assets. The Chinese seem more awake strategically but I wouldn’t rule out the western companies coming to their senses and bloodying a few yellow noses
