https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWv_LnX1EqM

CEO of PRD on FlagstaffTV, raging at the MMs, twice during the interview lol

Spud Monday.

Hi guys,

Tro, thanks re PRD :)

Tro,

I guess so, im prob being impatient, lol.

Hadn't realised it went up that much TBH - but you are correct.

Tro,

Whats with the reverse on Helix?

Meant - nothing we say here matters.

Hey sector,

I expect lots of things i post might include inaccuracies lol.

FYI, nom is not immune either.

Better that, than people not posting for fear of making an error - so generally, unless the inaccuracy undermines the fundamental thrust of the argument being deployed - it doesn't bother me.

More important that people share, and challenge one another, would be kinda dull otherwise, lol.

Nothing we say matters, just guys having a chat.

Hi sectorbreakdown,

Don't sweat it, we aren't under exam conditions - just people having a chat.

Both nom and yourself are passionate about your beliefs, which makes for an interesting discussion imo - even if it gets a little tense sometimes, lol.

There's a mindset on the left that they are the primary victim of so-called misinformation, which has some truth to it imo, so can be quite sensitive to inaccuracies - at least the ones that dont support their positions lol.

In truth, we all make errors - not a big deal - unless its deliberate obv.

:)

Hi GoldBlend,

Thanks :)

Tro,

I've got a few. Have messed about until ive settled on an amount im not stressing over - too much, lol.

It was a lot easier when they had a big run-up to spud. Slice and derisk.

If it goes to a quid i can hire Alan Titchmarsh for the day to sort your pond, as a treat, lol.

Tro,

PRD, big risky drill coming up. Dont know what to expect with the SP short term.

Drilling early March i think, 12 day drill.

Tro,

Lols, yeah.

I do quite like Zaks charting, i like his voice lol - relaxing, and his dry wit, and its another person opinion into the mix.

Agree that he pinches a lot of tips from here, lol.

Expect Zak to be on it later, lol.

Tro,

CGNR. There are so few shares available on that one.

Hey Tro,

I mostly agree, in so much as it seems like everyone does realise we messed up, other than Ed Miliband, who thinks we didnt mess up enough.

Norway is the gold standard, yeah. Uses its resources to finance a green transition.

If comments like that encourage the main parties to reassess their own positions on energy, then it's a positive imo, irrespective of whom the messenger is.

The article didnt cover this bit:

Britain should produce its own gas, oil and steel and “reindustrialise”, Nigel Farage has said.

Speaking at the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship conference in London, the Reform UK leader criticised net zero and said the UK should aim to become an “energy exporter”.

Mr Farage said: “We take the view that if we’re going to be using gas, if we’re going to be using oil in this country from 2050... we may as well produce them ourselves in our own country.

“Our platform is to reindustrialise Britain. We closed down the steel industry. We think closing down the steel industry is good because it means our national CO2 output is down.

“All that happens is the plant closes in Redcar, the plant closes in South Wales. It reopens in India under lower environmental standards, and then the steel is shipped back to us.

“So let’s produce all the stuff we need in this country. Let’s become not just energy independent – we could actually become an energy exporter right now.”

Hi kenny,

Has naff all to do with farmers, unless you mean corporate solar farmers, lol.

Discouraging change of land use - thus protecting vital agricultural farm land, our food security, and the future of farming in the UK.

Burying ugly energy infrastructure rather than having monstrous pylons ruining the countryside.

O no! Lol.

The author thinks more net-zero zealotry = lower bills, seems unaware of the tax burden the drive to net-zero is placing on industrial and domestic consumers, and that Russia sets our gas prices, lol?

"US enrages China after hinting at support for Taiwan independence.

Trump administration quietly deletes phrase from ‘factsheet’ in contradiction to long-standing US policy position.

Donald Trump’s administration has enraged China after hinting it may be in support of an independent Taiwan.

The US Department of State quietly deleted the phrase “we do not support Taiwan independence” from an online “factsheet”, contradicting a policy position held since Richard Nixon."

"UK firms mull biggest layoffs in a decade as business confidence slumps.

Impending tax rises from autumn budget fuel collapse in sentiment and rising redundancy intentions, surveys show.

UK employers are preparing for the biggest redundancy round in a decade amid collapsing business confidence as firms brace for tax increases from April that Rachel Reeves announced in her autumn budget.

In a fresh blow for the chancellor, the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), which represents human resources professionals, said a survey of 2,000 employers showed redundancy intentions at their highest level in 10 years, barring the Covid pandemic.

Reeves has come under intense pressure after a series of weak economic data, undermining her plans to grow the economy. Official figures last week showed Britain narrowly avoided a recession in the second half of 2024 after showing unexpected growth in the fourth quarter."
