Hey Blue, no I was suggesting Philip might be felling sorry for himself. Everything else I agree !!!

Poor chap will be feeling like he did all the heavy lifting

1.03 - 1.04

Those £300mln shorters must be very confident they know something? Court case? Results? . Must have big b@lls to stay shorted watching share price recently

Large volumes moving today

Something is a foot?

Bertram ? I don’t know why. I thought I had Already explained the leave campaign was undemocratic. I’m pretty sure you would get it if I re-worded it for you. How about if a single “woke” party had three campaigns under different names, one promoting woke, one appealing to moderate woke people and a third appealing to mind bending ignorant voters ? All at the same time, one woke party getting everyone’s votes (vote leave, leave.eu & Beleave)

It’s not democratic is it?

Savage you’re right, except Trump is just an ignorant fool a con man at heart, there is no mystery other than he has discovered rule of law & democracy doesn’t work for him

Poker - have you seen the Republican Party lately ?

Like everything Trump touches he has corrupted the GOP. It is rife with Russian propaganda. Misinformation and lunatics. 3rd in line for presidency (house speaker) believes dinosaurs were on the ark &!their bones are planted by governments to fool people. GOP has become putin useful idiots, book burning, abortion rights, etc etc are all pressure points to split the country into further division and chaos. The Supreme Court is showing again and again it can’t be trusted and will make choices based on political convenience outside of the law. Trump only wants his truth, 6th January prisoners are hostages, right is wrong and ignorance is bliss.

Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand a democracy needs rule of law, freedoms to choose, a free press to hold leaders to account and n electoral system to be trusted. In America most of this has already been poisoned. Free world is in trouble. Russia & China don’t have a grand plan, they just fund and amplify any division wearing the west & its principles. Brexit, le penn, ignorant policisns, reform party, immigration, pretend “elites” pretend “establishments “ lefty lawyers defunding courts and justice, “have and not haves” you can see it everywhere, there to u detained truth, decency, rule of law and finally democracy.

Poker - when talking debt sure it’s important to look at what is being bought. Currently new infrastructure, chip production, EV cars and batteries.

Trump increased debt by a lot & invested virtually nothing.

Debt for tax cuts is like debt for dividends, pure ideology.

If I throw in politics, Trump will sell out to Russia and China partly through greed & ego but mainly through ignorance.

Russia China and other want to see a world order change, Trump is just another useful idiot, along with farage and many others.

Poker - do you though? ….. look at things through eyes of economist ?

US economy is showing amazing indicators. Economists don’t tend to worry about affordable debt so they? Not unless they really mean politics. Plus most economists (without a right wing lunatic lean) would agree Trump wasn’t good on debt, future planning or anything else for that matter.

Bertram - blocking people or views you don’t like on a “Public” board, in my opinion speaks volumes about the blocker.

I have a despicable stalker called NDN on this board who thinks he is entitled to invade my personal information & then try to intimidate me with it to stop be expressing opinions, I haven’t even blocked him because I stick to the values I would preach.

Its the weekend, do you or anyone else have news or updates ?

I think you opened the subject of Brexit, I can only assume you want to see Brexit supporting posts in the future? & I’m really not sure how any of that makes me a dictator?.

You might not agree. You might not like truth (80 majority, 3 leave campaigns selling different versions) but at least they are verifiably true, as opposed to the nonsense just posted by others, which is verifiably untrue.

Block unblock do as you please, I care very little either way. But if you think a Brexit disaster doesn’t impact your investments, you might choose to find actual reality to prove it doesn’t / hasn’t, this would include how investors see the uk, its standing & influence. the resulting political madness & corruption, along with any verifiable advantages Uk business & citizens now have, because of brexit?

Cookoo you are are. 4th largest because of “services”. The one part of our economy relatively untouched by Brexit loons.

So thanks very much for confirming my point. I can tell you read the daily express & can see you have issues. So in the interest of fairness, I’d also like to help you out. Services are uniquely difficult to measure, it could be counting inter-actions as meaningless as a single visit to a single website.

So makes a perfect option to fool un-thinking people desperate for a brexit win.

I think I’ve already explained why it was an abomination of democracy ‘ I’ve already explained Brexit loons have had an 80 seat majority (which makes claims of remainders getting in the way pretty dumb). So why don’t you think about those, get someone to help you with the counting big to understand an 80 seat majority is more.

The thing I haven’t told you yet is, we still haven’t seen all the border checks and other little costly things that come with a Brexit. Those same Brexit loons are still begging the EU for more time, trying to avoid the impacts of their lies

i really do struggle to understand how delusional and dishonest leave voters are.

fleccy is still under the impression it’s not his fault when he voted for russian propaganda, lies, misinformation and chaos. instead it’s 2/3 of the political class….

i’m not sure how dim he is, i’ve already explained to him johnson had an 80+ majority of brexit loons in his government

brexit is a failure, everyone is worse off, the uk will continue to decline in almost every way because if it. it was a con, any decent citizen would have withdrawn their support soon as it became obvious what it really was. itv was a democratic, decisive abomination of our system of government, attack on our freedoms, a way to weaken the eu for putin. if new paper headlines like “enemies of the people “. directed at judges didn’t awake you there’s really no hope. i’m pretty sure your children and grand children will continue to pay the price, as are you now with uk share investments.

£100 invested in markets i 2016 = £117 return, the us £268 & france / germany £180-£190

voting leave made the uk a basket case. we have all the corruption all the dishonesty and incompetence which led the leave campaign in power. it’s not going well. they want you to believe it’s people on little boats, rather than their choices and incompetence. i know why i the nhs is failing, it’s the same reason transport, economics, trade, fishing, farming etc etc are also in a state. it’s because brexit was lunacy a campaign of three campaigns all selling a different version because there never was a single deliverable version. vote leave, beleave and leave.eu for the real ******s to get involved. & the you guys are still calling it a democratic vote……. u believable. mind you, it proves how badly it’s going, otherwise you would be asking me to be thankful for the sunny uplands

Bertram, I’m not surprised you still hold on to this nonsense to help with the shame of Brexit.

I’ve already explained why 3 separate campaigns each offering different brexits is an abomination of democracy.

I still see good old Russian tropes about “establishment “ & “elites”. When did you see these terms used in British discourse, before being fed by Russian propaganda?

Johnson purged the Conservative Party of almost every competent operator and recruited Brexit loons. Pretend Russian propaganda about establishments didn’t slow down Brexit delivery, Johnson has a more than 80 MP (all Brexit loons) majority.

You might want to take look at how uk fishing is going outside the EU. In fact could ask same question about almost any industry, could consider stock exchange. Obviously the facts are uk owned fishing companies SOLD their fishing rights to make a quick buck.

As for COVID - happy to address why Brexit loons corrupted the system for multi million pound contracts for PPE rather than actually acquiring PPR. £30+billion on track and trace that failed I can go on on on regarding Brexit corruption and incompetence.

By almost any measure UK will continue to fall behind all the other nations who also had Covid……..

So turns out it wasn’t democratic, turns out there is no such thing as an establishment or elite trying to stop a pretend Brexit, sponsored by Russian propaganda. Neither is there a comparison with other countries to hide behind

Bertram.

Please look up advisory referendum & that Uk doesn’t allow for binding referendums. Many voted on that basis to protest.

Please also look up vote leave. Leave.eu & Bleave campaigns campaigning for three different forms of Brexit collecting all these votes into a binary choice. Would love to hear how you think that’s democratic

Then of course Russian money, interference, illegal money and use of campaign funds & Cambridge Analytica

Id like to point out it’s you who stated your ridiculous notion of misrepresented democracy. A ridiculous notion of winner take all, otherwise known as a majority tyranny.

Democracy relies on a degree of decency & honesty. The leave campaign destroyed all resemblance & pretence of these things in the UK. A disgusting, ridiculously pathetic, dishonest, grotesque abomination of a democratic process.

Hi expat, I think you might not be looking at the full “round” of Brexit.

Apart from Brexit making Uk weaker, harder to trade with & looking like a basket case to investors, who let face it, have other options to choose from, Brexit being a reason not to invest here in the sunny uplands.

The bit I think you miss, is, you can follow Brexit back to the political madness that has poisoned.the uk. These lunatics wouldn’t have gained power or positions of power without the disruption of Brexit

It’s not difficult to join the dots. Leave voters have got the politicians & chaos they deserve.

Expat - I’m afraid we know why UK market is suppressed / valued low.

From memory - if you invested £100 in US stock exchange in 2016 you should expect to see £260 back. France and Germany £180 £190.

UK expect £116.

The key here is 2016. I don’t think there is an example where uk stocks have so under performed……

That article seems like a lot of wishful thinking

Approx £48bln in debt, recently raised £1.3bln from sell offs…

Drahi might not have much choice

Don’t other markets already outlaw shorting?

Could this be right?

Assume BT costs will increase here?
