What on earth are you talking about jtan? Nothing should be posted unless it will get response? So, how would someone know in advance? If somebody isn't sure if they will get a response, then they shouldn't post? But then nobody would post.

can you see the difference? so by posting things and expecting a responses from other, you are completely missing the point of the whole website

The point of the website, or rather the chat, especially the open free to use chat, is anybody can post anything they like within the terms of use whether they could expect a response or not.

awww crap, the sodding video box is bac. Too big and irritating autoplay.

I don't post yarning for a response, unlike some. If somebody has something to say, they will say it. Otherwise I will post what I want and when I want.

Keep looking for the angel to get the weak to latch on to... remember, you can't make somebody do something they don't want to do.

It is astonishing to know countries are still trying to control the spread of an infectious virus. There seems to have been a loss of rational thinking in some places.

Has the lunch break finished for the workers?

The reality of this view from the China side, is that there is a degree of truth in it. However it points the finger at the US. The US has not been much involved in the politics since 2014, it was an EU project, notably a French project. I agree 'the west' [EU] should not continue to try and make a solution, needs someone remote not involved with nato to broker a peace and solution based on Minsk - and this time Ukraine needs to act on it. Switzerland?

Bit of a give away! Hampstead boy is way off the number of posts [like someone else the other day] and doesn't even know my holding despite reiterating it THIS MORNING.

Again, the real paid trolls being invited and directed to this board to fill it up with as many negative comments as possible to try and trick people into filtering. Now why would a gang of trolls want to do that?

Because the boiler rooms full of scam spread betting syndicates are moving in ready for the IAG results. People actually believing if they raid the discussion boards they can provoke mass buys or sells and make a killing with spread bets.

First, those voices that could trip up the spread bet plan have to be silenced. Either by mounting thousands of complaints to moderators to have accounts cancelled or by nudging readers to shun and filter.

It is a spread bet scam. Do your own thing based on your own research. Be warned, big news week and the spread bet scammers will be all over it. The campaign to get more to filter me is underway again.

wish I got paid for my information services.

Took their bloody time!
First big totem to fall in the mask saga. There is a significant revolt against useless mask wearing. It's like people are waking up from a dream all over the place aking why are they wearing this stupid thing that does absolutely nothing in preventing the spread of covid - in fact it helps the spread.

The one single focus should have been hand washing after touching any surface in a public place.

I'll take that as a compliment tan

EXTERMINATE, EXTERMINATE!

I have a small punt on IAG still, enough so that i there is an RI I can fund any purchase easily. I suspect results are priced in tis close. The big issue is any statement on managing debt; RI, retail or just iis, bond issue, sell off BA. I consider it a very high risk but if there is any hint BA maybe spun off then have some skin in the game.

Motley Fool? It is a bot publication with auto text generation in generic templates. It flips positive to negative in order to get as wide a readership in order to sell further subscription. No private investor with any experience bothers with the Fool as it just keeps generating the same bot rubbish over and over again.

Of note to those with wider interest in travel sector.

A very, very rare open discussion from the BBC. It is the case that the reality of the real cost of following the climate crap is going to cripple most people. Read the article carefully and you can see it peppered with comments to steer the reader to keep the net zero group at arms length,
"But some of its members have close links to think tanks that have long queried the scientific consensus on global warming, and the necessity and cost of doing something about it."
In moving to mute and erase the groups questions, the BBC appears to discussing the argument put forward. But is it reallY? What I found surprising is that the BBC is acknowledging there is actually questioning of the climate change claims. A very rare admission from the BBC as everywhere else such ideas are completely covered u by policy.

Putin's speech. If you want to read it. By Putin's logic, Britain could take back all territorial gains in France and the the US, Empire - the lot, and it would be justified due to historical links.
