Mr Tibbles
I certainly agree with you about Boris Johnson and his cronies, but I have to say that you write about him and his government as if they started all this corruption when the truth is I can't name you a government and its members that haven't fallen short of morals and decent public office standards, in any era.
Mandelson, John Prescott, Patricia Hewitt (her husband's dealings with Berlussconi), Cecil Parkinson, Jeffrey Archer, Jonathon Aitken and John Major to name a few in recent years. Then there's Lloyd George who told his secretary, Frances Stephenson, if she didn't sleep with him she was out of a job. Asquith and his affair with Venetia Stanley when there was the small matter of WW1 going on, and the most useless Christamas present you could give Lord Palmerstone was a pair of underpants!
Boris Johnson is a useless git, and it's so unfortunate he is around when we need someone who is diligent and has a brain. When was it ever so?
I think we need to bring back King Alfred the Great - he's the only leader that comes to mind that could really lead and had vision.
Bubbling up!
Cowichan-such a wide range of information -I don't know where you find it-....thank you
And of course there are the other usual suspects.....who also bring skills, enthusiasm. contacts, knowledge... the list goes on. Hall of fame for another day (back to work Mike).
Big thanks to you to all
As of posting, over 70% of 'Soft commodities' in the red today. - It's like observing a conductor instructing his orchestra with a wave of his baton. -
Agree Mr Tibbs
Cowichan's researched and informed contribution to the BB is substantial and speaking for myself, much appreciated.
There seems little doubt that the nature of the Westminster media is a big part in the public perception that standards in public life are not what they were.
Two recent all too typical examples. Vote Leave and Tory Party donor Peter Cruddas, elevated to the House of Lords 1
Blatant toadyism when Johnson overruled the Appointments Commission which sought to block the peerage over allegations from his time as Tory treasurer, made a £500,000 donation three days after taking his seat!
Disinformation, barely a murmur in the media. Just not, so far as most of them are concerned, a big deal?
When did this kind of lack of interest by the fourth estate become normal?
This is what happens when the majority pro-Johnson papers decide to ignore a big story is that all too often the broadcasters follow suit and, unless the opposition makes news on the issue, it tends to die!
Hi MrGnome,
"When the history books are written, will Boris Johnson still get away with it?"
This was asked by a woman in the Q and A at the Wimbledon Book Festival.
There have been 55 prime ministers since Robert Walpole became the first around three hundred years ago, and all are to greater and lesser extents ‘historical’ figures. Like it or not, Johnson, even if he left tomorrow, is already on the ‘greater extent’ side of the ledger, the Brexit in which he has played such a key role being an event of genuinely historic import, however it plays out in the future.
As to how history will see him, that depends on what happens as post-Brexit Britain unfolds, and what happens in the rest of Johnson’s career and life
"Will he still get away with it?"
Her ‘still’ carried with it a hint of exasperation, that a man could tell so many lies, make so many mistakes, display so many character flaws, but ‘get away with it’. The lies and false promises, helped deliver the biggest constitutional change to our country of recent times, with consequences both foreseen and unforeseen that have done damage to our economy, our trading arrangements, our ability to travel and do business, the Northern Ireland peace process, our power, our rights, and our standing in the world.
Yet the scale of his Brexit getting away with it was such that he was elevated to the highest elected office in the land on the back of it. Then Covid-19 provided a perfect breeding ground for the character flaws and mistakes to come together and deliver one of the worst pandemic mismanagement's anywhere in the world, his getting away with it largely down to a successful vaccination programme, one good thing serving, with the pro Tory media’s help, to drown out so much that was bad!
So ‘still’ he is well ahead in the polls and grandstanding on the world stage, with much of our media, print and broadcast, coming over as a cross between a BoJo advertorial and a Cornwall Tourist Board promotional campaign.
Cornwall is a lovely holiday destination, at a time when thanks to the mistakes, travel guidance chaos and PCR-test rip-off-ology, more and more people are looking to holiday at home, is beyond doubt.
That the Johnson we know – and that includes the journalists reporting on him – bears any real resemblance to the Johnson they were describing in reports that could have been written and edited in Number 10 or Tory HQ – is less certain!

Big Thank you Cowichan ,
I appreciate that many of our members support and indeed reply to you on here , this proves to be both very informative and interesting.
Indeed the amount of effort and the commitment you put into keeping the board informed on so many very relevant issues is quite remarkable too say the least and I am certain highly appreciated by members of this forum.
Unfortunately because of the regulatory protocols you are required to follow in your efforts to get at the truth most members will be unaware of just how much work you are doing behind the scenes on share holders behalf.
I appreciate that it is impossible for fellow members to offer recognition for your behind the scenes work because for them to do so would requite you to reveal information in a public forum which whilst investigations are ongoing may well nullify, but certainly weaken your case.
That said other share holders could support your posts on Twtter or take the trouble to put an email or letter, even a telephone call to the regulator.
Chatting on here,even being able to have a moan amongst one another to help relieve frustration is brilliant, but in the main this is totally ignored by Centamin and certainly not allowed taken into account by any regulator!
I do hope that everyone will give this some thought and take the appropriate actions.
No doubt Adrain77 will have some purile unsubstantiated deramping comment or is he hiding behind the sofa.
It isn't just Centamin, though, Cowichan. My Canadian miners have been smacked; look at Pan American Silver - just as awful as Fresnillo, if not more so. It is a time for building postions in gold and gold miners at the moment. There are good opportunities for traders in this market, but for long-term holders, the benefits will come from next year onwards when there will be great political unrest. I just hope that when gold does begin to take off and those longer term holder of Centamin finally turn a profit, they don't sell up too soon and allow someone else to make all the money. It's best to keep holding, invest the dividend, and sell those shares when the crowd appear and say Centamin to £10. It happened recently with Bitcoin on this board - we were accused of being old fogies and unsophisticated for not buying Bitcoin. Where are our tormentors now?
It's frustrating, I know, but that's just the way of gold. Good things don't come easily.
Major stock indexes were higher premarket on Thursday as investors prepare for today's Bank of England interest rate decision and the economic data reports.
The FTSE 100 traded 0.16% in the green at 7:57 am CET, while the DAX grew 0.32%.
Both the euro and the pound were virtually flat against the dollar at 7:4 am CET, changing hands for $1.19257 and $1.39618 respectively.

Agreed Mr T. I think it is good time for people to review where and how they get their information. A lot of it is misinformation, ...poorly informed, has remarkably little scientific veracity or input...etc... The covid related reporting has been a case in point. In Australia people watching the TV are now on a fever pitch form of hysteria (the mass media is really little more than the mass hysteria here) about the virus 24/7, not realising that more people are dying from the "normal flu" and pneumonia, or in fact the vaccine of choice (which our politicians do not take?) for the over 50's or over 60's as it is now.
Following the above, one of the more informative sites for covid related is below

Why is there not more infromative discussion and debate on gain in funtion research?
Its a strange worled where we can have access to so much information at the touch of the screen, yet so much is useless, life drianing, life wasting and dare I mention manipulative. I feel for the Lemmings

I think b2 gold would be a very good fit with CEY. The synergy in West Africa. The development capacity of the team in b2. The balance sheet and cash flow would be a lot stronger. Both have a committment and tethos of paying out a dividend. There would be admin savings, and a single stronger board, with a few seat warmers moved on.

June 23
Capital (LSE: CAPD), a leading mining services company focused on the African markets, announces that Brian Rudd, a founder and Executive Director of Capital Limited has indicated his intention to sell approximately 3,000,000 ordinary shares in the Company which represents approximately 1.6% of the Company's issued share capital.
https://www.**********.co.uk/rns/announcement/64fc54b0-5511-400c-80d9-335ce87ecf71/
Note this is subsequent (read hot-on-the-heels) to Capital issuing fresh company shares to finance the open pit waste clearing project at Sukari. This transaction, however, is a personal disposal of existing shares held by Rudd.
Also note Capital has contracts with newcomer Altus Strategies in Cote D'Ivoire & now Egypt from 2021 onward (Naguib Sawiris being the major shareholder in Altus) and existing contracts with Endevour Mining in Burkina Faso & Cote D'Ivoire (Naguib Sawiris as well...)
That makes Capital and Rudd privy to loads of insider info.
Reminder: Buchanan is the IR company for both Capital and Centamin.

Anyone considered whether B2Gold $btg should work with Centamin $cey ?
Just throwing out thoughts, centamin also have an interesting but maybe marginal west african portfolio. B2Gold might be able to work it.
Waffling it may be however
"the upticks in the GOLD prices were further bolstered after US Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell confirmed that interest rates would not rise too quickly, based only on the fear of coming inflation. The fresh dovish view of the Fed acted as tailwind for GOLD. This turned out to be one of the key factors behind a sharp uptick in the prices of the yellow metal."
Just hope it continues

I agree Mr T!
off to the races IMO - let's go!
Disinformation threatens humanity’s ability to tackle the key issues of our time. Climate change, pandemics, human rights, biodiversity, and helping expand democracy across the world all require protecting our communities against disinformation designed to polarize us and silence the facts.
As anti-democratic governments and other actors weaponize social media to harm us, it is on us to protect freedom of expression and our information ecosystem. Clear, transparent regulations are needed now more than ever. This conference is designed for us to find the best ways to do that.
One of our most recent reports has shown how, one year after the start of the pandemic, Facebook is still failing to protect Europeans from dangerous COVID-related disinformation (Politico, Vice, Forbes, Le Figaro, El País, Repubblica, Estadão). Our work has contributed to convince the EU of the need for more ambitious action.
But now we need to make sure that these proposals are not watered down. The Avaaz Webinar on Thursday will show them that citizens are watching!

Hi Mr Gnome,
Re Deutsche Bank AG trader to a year and one day in prison !
When you consider how much this case will have cost and how many times the Deutsche Bank have condoned allowed or instigated this type fraudulent activity the sentence is an absolute joke!
Ordinary people get far more severe sentences than this for what in comparison is petty crime!
Deutsche Bank should be taken to court and a few 5-10 years sentences handed out!
Also Deutsche Bank should have its trading license suspended for a time!
Hi Mr Bond,Mr Gnome and other member who have posted on this,
Today's governments do excel in "Waffling" "our own PM Boris Bullsh*t) is a master of the craft perfected from writing copious amounts of it in the UK mainstream media. this skill is now used most days during prime ministers question time to avoid giving a truthful or straight answer to the leader of the oppositions question, instead Boris Bullsh*t grins and grunts before uttering a stream of completely irrelevant "Waffle!"
It appears that the market is in forever waiting mode for the next Jeremy Powell/FED statement which is almost certain to be yet more "Waffle" but providing the market with the perfect excuse for churning the shares one way or the other!
As Centamin share holders are now painfully aware Andrew Pardey has proven himself to be unquestionably inept at running Sukari,although his mastery at "Waffling" and his ability to "Keep kicking the can down the road!" are undeniable!
Gold prices rose on Wednesday after U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell pledged to keep interest rates near zero for some time, although gains were capped by a slight uptick in the dollar as investors waited for further clarity on inflation.
