"Remind me of the Pink Floyd wish you were here" thats a beautiful record, a tribute to Syd Barrett.
Sadly much of the dialogue here reminds me of "In the Flesh" from The Wall in 1979, four years on.
"And that one looks Jewish and that one's a coon
Who let all this riffraff into the room?
There's one smokin' a joint and another with spots
If I had my way, I'd have all of you shot"
"Meanwhile, Iranian drones are made with lawnmower engines"
A shahed 136 drone has a 50 kg warhead, top speed of 115mph and a range of 1550 miles; that definitely gives it an edge over my old Mountfield. If this was intended to be a great show of strength, then its left Iran looking a bit crap. Just hope it doesn't escalate further.
"Any suggestions as to online banks"
fd have been excellent in my experience, but they wont offer you products from any other providers.
possibly the delay with hl is you are using them as an intermediary to access other providers products.
why do you need four different easy access accounts?
"hasn't broken 50p yet."
"It was 55p two years ago at this time"
Yes, as I said I carried a big loss in March 2020. This came form buying a lot at much higher than 55p.
I mean in this current rally it has not convincingly broken 50p yet.
Im relieved to be comfortably in profit now and feel vindicated for doubling down on my losses in March 2020.
That left me very overweight in Lloyds as a percent of my overall holdings. Im not expecting rocket fuel on the sp and it hasn't broken 50p yet. Still, it's definitely worth acknowledging the positivity on this now; it's been a long time coming.
"....if all the uneconomical coal mines in the UK were still operating:
Coal (and the numbers of UK miners) was in long decline before Thatcher. Her achievement was to value cheaper imports above the livelihood of mining communities, with no support or transition to developing new industry and replacement employment.
Ww, i guess you'd have to ask someone who was a miner at the time. Scargill alleged the government had plans to close down 75 pits over three years, losing 64,000 jobs. Thatcher denied it.

"Margaret Thatcher put that myth to bed!"
Scargill was proved right, although it took 30 years before the information was released.

Thatcher was an abomination, just the mention of her turns my stomach.
