Just about sums our society up. You set out the screw the tax man. You use a fiendishly clever accountant to devise a scheme that save you tax which ordinary rugby mortals have to pay come what may. HRMC finds out its dodgy and threatens to send the heavies round. You then say "OMG I was had i didn't know it was illegal " Lost of BBC luvvies like Gazzer L etc on similar schemes. My heart bleeds for them all. Life'sa b$$$h as it is an then you have tio pay tax as well. No justice

effectiveness has started to be challenged in hospital settings. I am sure the FDA are well aware the clock is ticking.

huh?

to a man/woman

risk off sentiment house builders are probably as far away from Brexit as you can get given the drivers. The sector and TW was derisked ten years ago when the value of the land bank was written down by £1.6bn. people need houses to live in which TW is building as fast as it can. Its obvious to anyone that the remain camp taking instructions from Brussels have control over the media which is why we get a constant barrage of negative news aimed at undermining sentiment and self belief The Germans did this during the second war so its not surprising to err the skills learnt then are being used today. The problem we have is that too many bell ends are playing this stock day in day out making it all too easy to lose money on. While one cannot blame the said ends for doing this you can blame the BoD for looking the other way and P7ssing into the wind. If they can't protect shareholders from this relentless acativity than maybe they should go elsewhere. This is not a risky business it ceased to be a decade ago when the shareholders had to cough up or loose the lot. Marvo the chimp would probably do a better job at running this company and would almost certainly be more entertaining to watch on investor day webcasts.

agreed! They will be ready for the first wobble and be in in force. Its hard to imagine there are so many of them holding the same view. I suspect you play and more than one holding mustiple identities. Sad life if you feel the need to recommend your own posts day in day out to pick up a few measly coppers from your sponsor

Uou can dismiss half of these immediately then on top of that our own standards exceed those of Europe sadly Whitehall have their own agenda and form part of a boil that should have r been lanced decades ago they are no longer fit for purpose and stand in the way of a modern outward looking Britain

Mere restating what I have read and heard Italian politicians say today. Keep you shirt on

that China has accepted the US's invitation to get round the table and that Quatar has offered Turkey a helping hand. This should be supportive for tomorrow's option expiration and then hopefully we may be able to look forward to the end of this perpetually horrid month for markets. Shame lack of timely EU funding is now seen as a contributory factor in Italy's bridge collapse.

It will good to know that we can safely eat Findus lasagna again without worrying about eating horse meat.

Excellent! Better than the tinned ones from Europe anyday.! That said I am a bit partial to sauerkraut from time to time so If push comes to shove will have to that on my "foreign luxuries" list and indulge on high days and holidays only- small price to pay though. enjoy the spuds! :))

Fear not the Kenyans will keep supplying us with green beans etc just as they are doing now Our farmers meanwhile will have to switch from managing hedgerows under the land stewardship scheme to planting spuds and cauliflowers. I know its harder work but hey what price freedom? From history the land girls showed how it was done apparently so its time to resurrect the slogan "dig for victory" > I am sure many on this board already have their allotments anyway- so stop whingeing and get planting. I will keep going down to Waitrose to see what our fine African friends have harvested for us.

Not so you only have to walk along the Thames to see that housebuilding is NOT slowing down. Maybe asking prices are unrealistic atm which may see realised prices drift from unreasonably high levels given the lack of inffrastructure available in the vicinity of much of the new developments . but that said you would not know that or even care if you are buying off plan and you need to get your money out of China,Malaysia, Singapore or Russia. Better to take a hair cut of a percent or two than get asked some difficult questions about graft

not what it said in the EU slide presentation we somehow managed to get hold of.

baed on rules pre and post Brexit is utterly fatuous as our standards on matters such as food safety, animal welfare and societal tolerance levels by far exceed those across Europe. Brussels' concern that somehow Britain is going to pursue a policy whereby we seek to gain commercial advantage by watering down standards is utterly laughable. it is clearly a case of as is the landlord he treats his customers. Britain has along standing tradition of honesty and Integrity and has to this effect stood strong in the face of appallling European atrocity having to come to the rescue more than once. The EU negotiating machine is wilfully creating obstacles to thwart of the people and obstruct true democracy which in itself is not recognised within the EU. Is it any wonder why migrants wish to come here in preference over anywhere else within the EU? As the leave date approaches we should all brace ourselves and expect the stench of hypocrisy coming from the Continent to get stronger and stronger.

Shareholders need to make their dissatisfaction clear to the BoD. Voting against their remuneration package at the AGM. Sending complaints to Investor relations etc If enough people do it some of the frustration will get through. Ad I have said before they reward themselves generously regardless of how the owners of the company get shafted day in day out. The strategy of "special" dividend payments clearly sucks as far as the institutions are concerned. So lets have a decent dividend and use the rest to buy back shares. There is zero point in hoarding our cash as it is destroying value.

That the debate is being slowly moved to a no deal : any old deal put cone whereby Britain is effectively prevented from trading with anyone as a Billy no mates ? If so that’s utter tosh

Everyone gets poor apart from the leadership and nomenklatura who love their pockets at the ordinary people’s expense . It’s called redistribution of wealth and is the cornerstone of Marxism .

Of course. what I am referring to is exposure to Turkey for the UK or US. Some banks in the EU may have some debt exposure such BBVA and Unicredit. But as far as I know TW is not building any estates in Turkey unless Redfern has a mansion there. As always in these cases it will probably have to be the IMF that will have to step in but given that the US has a veto that too may be interesting, As I said Turkeys debt problems are well documented and have been for a while and has been adequately reflected in default spreads so realistically there is little excuse to have an exposure unless hedged

This is august for you. Every year the **** seems to hit the fan at about the same time. Fundamentals don't come in to it.This year it6s Turkey anotherr it will be China or Russia. Its all about causing maximum pain and spoofing investors into making dumb decisions. Turkey is an inconsequential little economy where a slow motion train wreck has been happening for years. The countrys current leader got elected by the skin of his teeth and does not have much time for democracy to freedom of the individual.. He is trying to pick a fight with the US which also makes him a misguided fool.Few banks have exposure to Turkey, maybe HSBC and or Standard Chartered. So it matters not if Turkey is driven into the ground or not. This are thinly traded markets in August as the good and the great or on holiday leaving trading in the hands of the juniors. Its irritating and its irrational yet we can only blame ourselves in the end as we should all have sold the lot in May.
