The “virus” was entirely self inflicted damage but a lot of the west were in lockstep. Never in recent history was an entire population put under house arrest, nor forced to wear certain clothing, nor aggressively coerced into medical treatment
That event was the first coordinated global attack to dismantle the west, our values, freedoms and wealth.
We all know that the second one is now well underway. Brexit is a convenient excuse
It's a possibility !
Bozi, the classic Remainer argument is that all our current woes are due to Brexit - nothing could be further from the truth. It may be convenient for them to blame Brexit, but they ALWAYS ignore the immense damage done by the virus and the murderous behaviour of Putin. If they do acknowledge these two seismic events, they do so begrudgingly and attempt to downplay their significance. By comparison, the impact of Brexit is a drop in the ocean.
I’m equally staggered
Should we be wondering who has compromised his login credentials?
FINALLY !
Quady and I agree on something !
It was bang on point…….
Yes - we saw where that got us Add...
Morning Quady, something very strange going on here. I agree with your comment 100%
1984 - naughty boy :)
I’ve already had a strong rise and pull back this morning
Eloro we have lots of trade deals.
Even with the USA.
Just not a complete trade deal.
Also before Brexit the USA was the country we did most trade with.
We gave tens of billions of pounds to the EU, any in return they restricted our trade with the rest of the world.
Costs are rising faster in the EU as extra regulations means more difficult to trade.
All protectionism eventually comes to an end.
Just as the EU will one day die.
Remember it took over forty years to destroy our trading position with the rest of the world.
We have been out of the EU for less than ten years.
We gave up a trade deal with 2.4 billion people to enter one with 0.5 billion people.
Remember we traded with the commonwealth.
I suspect more (positive) news is needed to push us much further. Last week's trend was generally up in the morning, followed by a/noon pull-back (although Fri was the opposite).
Crossed that 8.75p barrier first and then 9p+ will follow 👍.....
As per your name we're all hopeful, I believe we will after 2pm as per the last week trend
Can we get there today?
Once Biden's gone a trade deal will follow. Mind you, the world will be in the hands of yet another mad man, so a trade deal will be the least of our worries.
On the subject of Russia, if you haven't already seen it, I'd urge you to watch 20 Days in Mariupol. I've never seen such a heartbreaking and powerful documentary.
As for the EU, I can see no reason why we'd want to continue being tethered to a sinking ship. Cameron offered them the opportunity to change, but they told him to feck off, something many of them have subsequently said was a big mistake. They have one choice, reform or die.
We are better off alone if there is a threat from the East, they will have to fight their way through Europe just like the last World Wars and the Yanks will still use us as the last refuge of democracy before the Atlantic. I doubt there will be Nukes over the US unless we also fell. I was just thinking yesterday how the Media reported how bad the EU's finances were before Brexit happened. They revelled in the bad news of all the bust EU countries like Greece etc. When the vote went the wrong way for them they immediately stopped bad mouthing the EU and started their long campaign against Brexit.
I wouldn't be surprised if the BBC helped to finance the obnoxious bloke who still disrupts broadcasts on College Green.
The special relationship will get a whole lot better when we get Trump back in.
On the downside he might just make things worse in the East.
And some people ramp to high heaven………
🤡
A much more orderly Board, focused on SOLG.
BTW I have no problem with alternate views provided they aren't blatant deramping and when they are verifiable from the facts.
Sadly some people post negative opinions that have no substance. Loganair on ADVFN is a very good example.
So again...thank you.
I was quite proud to be part of the EU. Now look at us, all alone without any trade deals to replace the EU. Just ask the Scottish Fisher men what they think the benefits of Brexit are!
Now is the time for unity, not us alone. Russia and China are the threats, not Brussels. No trade deal from the USA. So much for the special relationship!
Bozi, yes, that's true. At least Johnson got us out of the EU.
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
