"Time for this scandal to help get her off. "

===============================================

Translation: "Time to use this scandal to get rid of her"

That is quite an agenda.

Always a bad sign when you are on the same side of the argument as someone like Eamonn Holmes.....who most would agree is 'away with the fairies!' (no not Phil)

Ignore the bit about TRMR...thought I was elsewhere for a moment.

It has always been the case. The people in charge make sure they reward themselves handsomely.....not always legally in the case of some politicians & their families in some countries.

Of course TRMR is squeaky clean. However it can be a fine line that has to be walked and sometimes you may cross the line when you hadn't intended e.g. Mike Lynch says he acted legally, HP would disagree.

The people who argue that they are being stopped from doing what needs to be done - by the courts, or the opposition or by EU regulations - probably need to be asked "What the hell do you want to achieve, that involves dismantling all the rules?....and will it be in the interest of the majority and not a very small powerful minority?!"

"The Prince's Trust has dropped Phillip Schofield as an ambassador...."

This is getting serious....just a rumour but even Prince Andrew has taken him off his Christmas card list.

"....in my understanding the ditty went Sell in May & go away , buy back again before Derby Day "

============================================================

Shaperite, your understanding (as pointed out) is wrong in so many ways, you might as well have said "....buy back again before Doris Day" for all the sense you made!

The saying 'apparently' refers to May to October when it is best to be out of the market (according to the adage)....so god only knows how 6th June makes sense?

PS St Legers day is mid-September 'apparently'.

Perhaps it's an 'inflection point'!!....(an old Rhtyhythmnone non-joke)

".... but some countries seem better suited than others to a dictatorship."

===============================================================

anon, or perhaps that's what the dictators want us to believe.....the 'iron fist' mythology.

It takes a greater mind than mine to untangle truth from fiction. But I do know that dictators feed on division & fear mongering. They play one faction off against another and pretend they are the only ones who can keep the peace. Perhaps that is true....but they stoke the distrust.

Classic Trump, Erdogan, Putin.....the right wing playbook.

Scary stuff....regardless Iraq wasn't our problem to solve (IMO).

Another example Libya.

What a strange day....hard to see what has pleased some investors after the initial negative reaction. Is there some good news hidden in the RNS?

Not complaining just confused!

"..... imperative for a stable Iraq. Now look at it."

==================================================

I don't hear much about Iraq....which I presume is a good thing.

I don't think the 'ITV Mess' thread is going to be here very long after what Tom posted.

Another saying...."When you are in a hole stop digging"

Tom, you are opening yourself up for litigation. You need to be more careful what you post m8

Oh dear Tom!

".....I would not be so sure"

=================================================================

Tom, there seems to have been a concerted effort over the weekend to create a self-fulfilling prophesy that the SP would collapse to circa 60p. Hasn't happened yet. Still time though.

So perhaps I'm being cynical that the mood music is changing, and some are returning to the often repeated 'she's unfit to be CEO because she is a woman and she dresses badly'.

PS Tom, I'm not saying you are one of the daytrading shorters who wanted to get the SP to 60p but I can reckon you are desperate to get rid of Dame Carolyn and you see this as a 'once in a lifetime' opprotunity. Fair enough....just don't go down the rabbit hole where the crazy people live.

The 'doom & gloomsters' have failed to cause the collapse in the SP they were predicting. Perhaps it is gonna be a slow drawn out decline over many days & weeks and not the implosion they were predicting.

Something else will be top story in the news tomorrow.

Not good news. I thought with the mini-surge last week that some news had leaked and it was going to be OK. But speculation.

Most of the bad press seems to be disaffected ex-employees of the show (including slightly deranged Eamonn Holmes)....and Nadine Doris who was apparently treated in a rather 'nasty' manner by Mr Schofied during an interview. People with a grudge so far....it isn't gonna stop advertisers IMO.

Every organisation has their bad eggs. It is a real problem when they are people in power or have influence. It is a sign that ITV have got rid of him that shows the culture 'probably' isn't that toxic (hopefully). Seems like a storm in a tea cup....but time will tell. Shorthers will try to maximise the opportunity....doesn't mean I cannot benefit if they even partially succeed in driving down SP.

Doubt very much Dame Carolyn will go over this....but stranger things have happened.

Talk Radio hosts getting all woke with faux indignation....another laugh out loud moment for me. Keep em comin.

"..When coming from the man who has ruined the lives and the country forever for those who elected him by destroying our culture for the rest of eternity: "

==========================================================

A member of the DUP?!

"....ITV needs to get to the Bottom of this."

==================================================

Ha, ha.

This is better than Eastenders any day.
