Mike - I don’t believe our services fall outside indirect sanctions , and I don’t believe the secondary sanctions will be circumvented , and if they somehow were would that not constitute non compliance in the eyes of OFAC ?

As will be demonstrated in the interims Fowler will be happy to perpetuate the myth that we are inching towards a start in the absence of any other news - only to be followed by an early November RNS along the lines of sorry folks , we did our best but those pesky secondaries screwed up our supply chain /o:

In respect of the job ads I don’t doubt there might be a vacancy or two , but placing those job ads on a couple of websites frequented by two men and a dog tell me there posted up for PI consumption /o:

We clearly have differing interpretations of the meaning of prevarication - I would go with the following “ To speak or act falsely or evasively with intent to deceive “ imo not commenting is not commenting , they will of course offer a statement in due course .

Here would be my definition of prevarication by our very own PF ;

“ Whilst some multi-national corporations with large exposure to and trade links with the US have announced a withdrawal from Iranian activities we are encouraged that others such as Renault have publicly stated they are committed to continuing business with Iran.”

What Fowler should have added from the same Renault statement was as follows ;

“ However, we are not going to do so to the detriment of Renault’s interests — we will be watching closely to make sure our presence in Iran does not provoke direct or indirect reprisal measures on the part of American authorities.”

“Ghosn said a Renault team working on the issue was “in direct contact with the American administration to work out what can be done and what cannot be done.”

You state the obvious in respect of sanctioned payments through swift - the banks will make sure there won’t be any !

The November banking transactions allow Non -U.S. subsidiaries of U.S. companies to have completed Wind-down operations by 4 th Nov /o:

How can not commenting on a subject be seen as prevarication ?

Those banks may well have Iran related business to conclude prior secondaries becoming effective 5th November, so why would comment two months out ?

Unless Trump decides otherwise - secondary sanctions will ensure swift pulls the plug on Iran ,and so will JP Morgan & Citi Group |o:

Nudging towards half the size of the Wembley pitch ......

Appears Fowler has found a new medium for getting the jungle drums going - the trusty job ad ( I wonder what became of all those French speaking positions last March ) , has the whiff of “ let’s get some news out their to keep the peasants happy” - works every time - funny how we never see any Banbury based positions plastered across our website (o:

Westminster Facilities Management has never changed a light bulb |o:

You couldn’t make it up - why don’t they stick to what they know !
WHY would they not be appointing a PQS / project management outfit , package the build and award it lump sum if poss taking a margin /o:

I wonder if we’ll be any better at being builders than we were at playing boats ?

Wulbert also beware posters exhbiting signs of confirmation bias (o;

Your being for too charitable describing ME comms as unimpressive ;

July 16 we were “finalising the last few issues as a matter of urgency - “ Sept 16 final negotiation stage - Nov 16 back in to bed with Darwin ,funds to be in part used towards ME post contract spend - Dec 16 “ preparing the required support structures and infrastructure in order to be able to deliver the project” - then came the ( yawn ) increase in scope - contract discussions largely complete Feb 17 “ actively preparing the required support structures and infrastructure necessary to deliver the projects, including organising a complex supply chain “ — June 17 finals , still labouring with our supply chain followed by ( great comms ) three months without a peep from our bod — Sept HY we had reached agreement with the client and other bodies involved on the key points of the project and we are now working with them to finalise the commencement programme and scope. “ funding expected in Q4 2017 — Dec 17 we were the fed the line about the final internal approval process funding due Q1 - Jan 18 imminent - Mar 18 still imminent with the rest being history /o:

This bod, to include the one before it has never managed the expectations of PIs , quite the opposite , appalling would be my choice of word for comms - others might say misleading |o:

Though a squint back at our short list of “achievements “ provides a clue as to why the bod have always felt the need to embellish the facts around known contracts in talks , that being there has always been sweet FA going on elsewhere - demonstrable by there being hardly a whisper on the other dozen or so MOUs in the afore mentioned 2 year period /o:

Thanks for that one on the EIB Mike - seems to ring a bell with a post back on June 7th off one of the de rompers |o: good to see folk getting up to speed (o: - just shy of 2 months to see it re posted /o:

LOL (io: you couldn’t make some of this shat up !

Since you came out with the boxing gloves on Mikes 18.32 are you comfortable to reingage as I’d enjoy the debate on the banking structures - and stuff - and the new German things (o: don’t be shy H&N join in Zzzzzzzzz

Why dont you quit the cryptic Jimzi and spoon feed us lesser mortals the way of the diplomatic world ? As requested heres reminding you of your 20.41 post - can you remind me of what im reminding you of ?

Do I understand what’s happening? Is that for me or Charlie’s ? Not a clue mate - why don’t you give me the benefit of your superior insight - you clearly concur with Mikes opinion of Trump no longer being the biggest threat to the ME deal - arguably the most ridiculous post ever penned on the subject !

Geo political bull shat - the carp been banded about here lately would make Trump blush /o:

“ The biggest threat to the contract not being implemented at the moment is no longer from Trump “ What a bizarre statement |o:

No - we formed a German company to open a German bank account so our payments from Iran would be processed by one of the few banks in the world who were willing to process Iranian banking transactions - long before Trump threw his dummy in the dirt !

Agreed - he’s untrustworthy and has a little form for relenting - though I’m not sure what parallels are you seeing between Iran and NK / Mexican wall ?

His wall has stalled because the idiot was dumb enough to think that congress would give him $25billion in one lump for it - they gave him $1.6B , of which he can only spend $38m on his wall (o: , and I don’t see NK getting any concessions just yet !

I don’t see how WSG can US proof anything, sanctions have been promised on EU companies that trade - simple - where for example do you see our £100m airside insurance policy been underwritten ?

True; it’s entirely possible he could roll back on Iran - though are you able to point me in the direction of a single commentator , politician , or reputable news outlet anywhere on planet earth that thinks that to be a likely outcome in the near term ?

The US know that limited sanctions are not worth a to$$ hence the reason for no waivers , they first imposed sanctions on Iran in 1979 , for the next 33 years Iran went about its business with sanctions in place , eventually developing a nuclear facility and ballistic missile program - it wasn’t until 2012 when the US sanctioned the Iranian banking system , and any bank or business that used it that sanctions started to squeeze - Trump knows this and knows it will eventually work again.

So with the secondary sanctions in place Europe can’t give Iran what they have requested - that being that they protect Iranian oil sales from the US sanctions and continue buying Iranian crude , come 5th November iranian oil will be radioactive , the refiners and the shipping companies won’t touch it ( outside of China , Russia, India & Turkey that is ) .

Iran has also asked that European banks should safeguard trade with Iran, this is also a nonsense as no tier 1 European banks were dealing with Iran before Trumps withdrawal so they ain’t going to start now |o:

True the ferry is behind us, and Tech has landed one noteworthy contract - and yes there is a prospect of signing an unrelated airport this year , but that’s been the case for the past 6 years I’ve been invested so it counts for nowt - Fowler came out with similar shat in the 2015 AGM update - that we expected to sign a managed service contract that year - were still waiting for it /o:

Why am I still invested - because I’m as gullible and greedy as everyone else who stuck around for the ME contract to come to the boil - had I known it was in Iran you wouldn’t have seen my ar$e for dust - I take a few crumbs of comfort that the strike price our greedy bod set for their undeserving options will see me bank a profit when it arrives - when it gets there I’ll be gone |o:

AIMHO

I don’t have any confidence that it will come to fruition - at least not under Trumps presidency - delighted to be proved wrong !

A genuine question - what is it that you can see happening that I can’t seem to grasp ?
