Batman rushes to our aid in his electric powered Batmobile. We'll be eternally grateful.

Schlem, yes, of course you're correct, but the information which emerged in the TR stated that funding is available. This seems to have been roundly ignored.

Investor, not 'investment'.

Good to hear you sounding so bullish, Fort.

I was just thinking about the multitude of explorers out there who produce very average/poor grades over relatively small areas and yet attract huge degrees of investment excitement. And here we are with something truly historic and yet we have a market cap of £250m. It's utterly absurd.

Oh dear, larger than Alpala.

Completely, not 'completes'.

Incidentally, for you to describe the documentary as 'propaganda' is quite shocking and completes demeans the people who are suffering so badly.

If you were paying full attention you'd have realised the reporter very carefully avoided overt bias and it was awarded the Oscar for its objectivity.

Anyway, that's more than enough on this topic.

Kat, tell me where/when I've suggested other wars are not equally barbaric. I was simply referring to the current conflict and the behaviour of Putin, and I did so because that was the topic being discussed.

Sorry, but your post is totally irrelevant.

Mather, I'm not denying that and I just happen to be part of the overwhelming majority of people in the West. Sorry if that upsets you.

Smick, yes, the eco debate. I'm sorry but I feel strongly about the current situation, although I accept this is probably not the appropriate forum. I think it's a little unfair of you to suggest I jump in on the off topic threads that come up here, because I very rarely do. Anyway, please accept my apologies.

Mather, you're right, I don't have a balanced view and that's because I know who our enemies are. Bear in mind, prior to 1939 there were plenty of people who had a 'balanced' view of Hitler.

There is one upside to the exclusion of Russians: they no longer pollute my favourite Greek island with their foul manners and yobbish behaviour. Every cloud...

Russian democracy is an oxymoron and the two words should never be seen in the same sentence.

Putin has gone way beyond the pale and he has no hope of ever being allowed back into the global society. Sure, the Chinese will still take his cheap oil, but they're just as bad as he is - albeit more intelligent and richer.

It's time to flog all the seized Russian assets and give the money to Ukraine. And it's also time the Russian people saw sense and executed him and his cohort of thugs. If they don't, they'll forever remain in a world occupied by North Korea, Iran and all the other barbarous dictatorships. How anyone in the West could support this bloke is totally beyond comprehension.

Kat, that's a brilliant piece of satire. You should write a sitcom.

Kat, watch 20 Days in Mariupol. You may wake up to the truth about murderous barbarians you support.

I should have mentioned the flow of inward investment tells its own story. And what happened to all those whingeing CEOs/celebrities who promised to leave these shores if Brexit happened? Think of that awful woman Emma Thompson. What a pity she didn't p1ss off.

Bozi, it would be naive to deny that problems arose, but most companies have now sorted out their trading issues and life carries on.

I absolutely accept the farmers argument. The government has been woeful in its behaviour towards them and all the restrictions, regulations and green b0ll0cks are making life very hard. Just look at the absurd nonsense that the Welsh government is trying to impose. Mind you, the European farmers are in the same boat, but their protests have done much to enfeeble the various governments in Europe...thank god!

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.

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.

Bozi, yes, that's true. At least Johnson got us out of the EU.
