@jme1976 What brings you to the conclusion the country is in dire straights?

When people bring this up, I ask how their life is going and what they’ve personally noticed that suggests the country is in dire straits. Not what they’ve read or heard from organizations, groups, or politicians, but from their own experience and usually, they can’t answer or can’t show how the country is truly in dire straits. Even if they could give a clear example, the next question is: what could be done to fix it without making things worse? So there you go two questions. The second only matters you can back up the first.

Glad you mentioned that I thought it was my VPN and started to fiddle

There is meat to that as there were two rns's a week apart one with relation to work in progress and the next agreement of the extension. Either way we will know soon enough

When cancellation happens, AIM will issue a formal RNS headed something like “Cancellation of Admission to Trading on AIM”, usually a few days after the six‑month deadline.

If this were the Main Market, the shares could stay suspended indefinitely while the RTO completes, but AIM has a strict six‑month suspension limit. Once that period expires, Rule 41 requires the Exchange to cancel the admission unless the RTO has completed and the admission document has been published.

Once cancelled, they can’t just “come back” they would have to apply as a completely new listing, which AIM will only consider after the RTO is fully completed. And if the RTO fails, the only route back would be a full new admission process, the same as any new applicant.

If you receive a reply to that email before the cancellation notice appears, can you post please as it would be truly appreciated.

From the rns " Removal of contract day rates on all future drilling at Rudyard - a direct and material reduction in per-well drilling costs with effect from completion." Contract day rates differ from wages paid to the employee. Contracted day rates are paid to the company not to the employee doing the work. The company pays the employee

"Historically, Defence Holdings has operated with silent velocity, quietly building the underlying technology, securing partnerships, and laying infrastructure behind closed doors"

Historically? Defence Holdings is only 13 months old it hasn't been around long enough to produce a historical context.

"Standing up an official, active X handle to communicate directly with the public represents a deliberate transition out of the shadows."

Defence Holdings X account has 232 posts since 28th May 2025 confirming to its audience what Defence Holdings intentions are and what it has achieved at each step along the way. Not exactly covert action more 'in your face' action.

It will be as nobody knows what is in store until he has been replaced and the new PM makes a statement. You could say this will be a 'Summer of discontent'.

OAK Securities have initiated coverage on QHE with a RENAV of 0.064p/share.

Here are the key assumptions behind the number:

• Helium price: US$500/mcf

• Based on the independent CPR resource

• Only the first development phase included

• Standard early‑stage risking applied (geo, development, funding, execution)

• Conservative capex/opex assumptions

• High discount rate (typical for helium explorers)

• Fully diluted share count

0.064p is a risked valuation.

The unrisked NAV would be significantly higher, but OAK have taken a cautious approach given the stage of development.

@Muck165 You don't need to agree with me you just need to read the AIM rule book. Here is a link you can find the text on page 13 , quote " Cancellation - Rule 41 The Exchange will cancel the admission of AIM securities where these have been suspended from trading for six months".

https://docs.londonstockexchange.com/sites/default/files/documents/aim-rules-for-companies.pdf

Look out for the next RNS due the 'AIM rule 41 notice' due any day now .

"And I responded that in the past ( not this share) u have put buy orders in lower than the current sp and my order has been met, how / why what mechanism don't know but the facts is buy orders are filled lower than prevailing sp "

Putting buy orders in that is lower than the current price is known as a 'limit buy'. When you place a limit buy you are matched with a seller who has placed a 'limit sell' for the same price and your order is completed. This is just standard practice and if you have access to L2 you can see such trades in action or indeed take advantage of such situations by seeing offers available.

Accelerators traditionally operate on an equity for access model. ALRT can secure minority equity stakes, options, or warrants in the early stage dual use technology companies that join the Meridian platform in exchange for corporate support, technical integration, and market access.

If an accelerated company subsequently secures independent commercial validation, international sales, or venture funding, the value of ALRT's equity holding increases, directly boosting the asset value on its balance sheet.

@IC1960 You seem to misunderstand the technology the company is developing. None of your post relates to it and could just as easily be about cake at a bakery. I particularly enjoyed your heat pump idea, though it went downhill after the ninth word.

I assume you do not use that "pseudo-communist" NHS if you feel that way, and instead insist on going private every time you have an ache, pain, or need open-heart surgery, @skier1. Everybody else here in Blighty tends to use that "communist free-for-all", including the King. If you go private, the likelihood is that you get the same GP or specialist, just with a direct bill attached rather than paying through your National Insurance with a full cost prescription rather than a subsidised one.

Regarding your other points, the data shows a different picture:

Railways: The government already owns the track infrastructure (via Network Rail) and holds the underlying assets, merely issuing licences to private operators for day-to-day timetabling and ticket collection, whilst rolling stock is leased.

Electricity: Power infrastructure will not be nationalised. Much of the infrastructure is foreign-owned and foreign-built, and the state does not have the capital to purchase it. Instead, Great British Energy was established to co-invest and run side-by-side with the private sector.

Water: Water privatisation was executed on the understanding that infrastructure would be modernised. Instead, much of the system still relies on Victorian infrastructure, leakage rates remain high, and a significant portion of profits has been diverted to executive bonuses and shareholder dividends. Therefore, renationalisation should be done through both breach of contract and because the nation depends on it for life.

Oil & Gas: The state does not want oil and gas under full ownership. It is a diminishing resource with rising extraction costs. The current model relies on heavy taxation including the Energy Profits Levy bringing the headline marginal tax rate to 78%—which would be lost under full state absorption.

Unions: Trade unions focus primarily on pay, collective bargaining, and working conditions for their members, rather than advocating for total, centralised state control over every utility.

Research into the structural reality of these sectors contradicts the idea of a return to 1970s-style nationalisation. Have you ever considered researching rather than ranting and actually finding out how the system works. Ranting blind just pushes your blood pressure up and the result of that usually involves help from that pseudo communist NHS if you private GP is on his day to day NHS shift and can't see you.

@Nappers thats the thing though isn't it. When you don't include the detail, we don't need to take your word for it we can just set it aside as useless information and file it in the rubbish bin.

@dusterhater If you can't manage to read past the first sentence then you can neither agree or disagree with the content as you're replying blind. An individual broker executing a pre-negotiated block trade or filling a limit order is standard execution, not market makers manipulating the public tape downwards.

Intentional price manipulation to favour specific buyers is strictly illegal under market abuse regulations. Conflating standard order execution with unlawful systemic manipulation is a fundamental misunderstanding of market mechanics. Would you breach market abuse regulations, putting your licences in jeopardy, to manipulate a price over an order amounting to just 0.118% of shares in issue and worth just a few quid in fees?

Content created by Lloyds banking is AI generated by their own admission, better to just avoid Lloyds eh! STP!!

@dusterhater Sorry, but that is an urban myth. Market makers profit from the bid-ask spread and volume; their function is to maintain an orderly market by matching buyers and sellers. They have zero financial incentive to artificially depress a price to assist an external buyer.

Large blocks are rarely executed in a way that allows the public market to see them ahead of time. They are typically broken into smaller pieces using algorithms (like VWAP or TWAP) or routed through dark pools specifically to avoid moving the public market price before the order is filled.

Furthermore, a 59 million share buy on a stock with 50 billion shares in issue represents just 0.118% of the equity. it is simply not a large enough block to dictate market maker manipulation.

When a large block buy occurs after a price drop, it is usually because the falling price reached a level where a institutional or individual buyer perceived value, or where a pre-set limit order was triggered. The drop happens due to selling pressure (more sellers than buyers); the large buy order helps arrest that fall by absorbing the excess supply.

@retirment A few hundred millionaires and a few billionaires moved to the UK from the USA to the UK since Trump became president so i suppose of the ones here who have moved overseas over the last few years they have been replaced by those who moved from the USA to the UK. However apparently 300 millionaires moved to the UK from the UAE since the war with Iran began for fear of being bombed.

"If you believe the choice of party leader carries little or no weight with the voting public at a general election, then why not have an obscure, unknown figure lead the party into the election?"

Because electoral commission rules state that any party that enters an election must have a head and it is that head who becomes prime minister until they either stand down and pass the baton on to somebody else within the party or call aa general election.
