The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring Jeremy Skillington, CEO of Poolbeg Pharma has just been released. Listen here.
Looking at Parliament during the latest shafting the public statement , what a lousy lot they look on both sides of the House . If you were running a business you would not employ any of them . We need a new Party ,How about an English Nationalist Party . We could then tell the Welsh , Northern Irish and the Scottish lot that WE ARE GOING INDEPENDENT ! I feel a referendum for this would be a landslide victory for us .So the rest can then sort themselves out , and not blame us anymore for all their failings. Back on Lloyds , I am still registered for DRIP. , what do others think.
Our big problem is that China has snubbed us on World stage , and would not talk to our Indian boy . They are hell bent on a war with Taiwan to take it over and there is nought we can do about it, or is there . We could stop buying Chinese goods , but seeing everything we buy is from there we would soon have empty shops. To be Green all we have done is shut down our industry transferred the manufacture to the naughty CO2 emission countries like China and India and far east and then patted ourselves on the back , saying aren't we good boys. Time we grew up chucked out the hooray henry's and got back to producing goods we can export around the World and make some money. We were once great , we could be again if we got our hands dirty again. Lloyds and the other banks have got the money to invest in us , now is the time to get going. We could start by insisting our German owned Electric Mini is produced here and not shipped to China as planned. We could produce cars, the new batteries ,the new computers and silicon chips , so why not ? We are meant to have great universities turning out great talent , so why not use it in development.
We used to build warships on the Mersey at Cammell Lairds , we also had a steel works at Shotton on Deeside . The Ark Royal comes to mind. Now Liverpool City Council are building a new ferry boat to cross the Mersey from Pier Head to Birkenhead , and wow , not to be built at Cammell Lairds , who are more than capable of doing it , but to be built in Holland ! The madness of this Country has no bounds . What the hell is wrong with us.?
I am on the same wavelength as you , and also I did not get a penny out of the Covid crisis. Amazing what I have been accused of by this person calling themselves Motbuck. ALL I SAID WAS if King Charles wants his Coronation , he should finance it through his own resources . The Queen died , and there was no inheritance tax liability , he has sold 100 of her racehorses , and yet we the taxpayer continue to fund this Monarchy. It is time to reign in this extravagance . I see elderly people struggling on their pensions trying and make ends meet . Am I wrong to state that this is unacceptable.
I am fully aware of what Charles stated , so do not need to do homework . Whether you like it or not it will entail vast amounts of police, security , road traffic controls etc, not to mention the carbon footprint of guests from around the World coming to the event. I am making the point that the tax payer should not foot the bill .
I am greatly worried how the forthcoming Budget will affect our share price. We are briefed that we will all have to pay for this governments disasters . But on another point , where is the money coming from to pay for Charlies Coronation ? We tax payers should stand up and be counted , and say if he wants his lavish Coronation , he should pay for it , we cannot afford it.
Too late to save anything now , as in Dad's Army , We are doomed . I drove along the Dock Road area in Liverpool yesterday all derelict buildings and derelict docks apart from Container port at Seaforth , , which were once thriving businesses .Tate and Lyles went, J Bibby taken over by Cargill ,Harland and Wolf gone , Union International gone . Into the Commercial City area , Royal Sun Alliance gone , Liver Buildings virtually empty , Cunard Building empty , Liverpool Daily Post and Echo gone , need I go on. It saddens me to see the state of the nation.
When this goes into foreign hands , which it should not , is there anything which is British left worth having ? No wonder we are the laughing stock of the World .
So Tesco want to charge shoppers who charge their car for free , and there is an outcry from the media . I have to pay for my diesel to do the same thing they are doing with their electric cars , drive them ! They already don't pay road tax , will they want free tyres next!
To do business in a lot of Countries you have to bribe the corrupt people running them. To get business from our Supermarkets the buyers in my day took wads of cash off us , that was the only way to get the contract. As the buyer for Tate and Lyles said many many years ago , he would not swap his job for Lord Lyles ! How do you think China gets into these Countries ?
Something worries me about Andrew Bailey . Is he working for us or against us ? Anyone else feel the same way. I also worry about the BBC , total glee and smirks on some of their faces with rate rise announced yesterday. Sensationalism over " massive increase " to 3 % , I was there when they put interest rates up to 15.75 % , and a jar of marmalade was a luxury to put on bread and margarine .
Imagine having loads of properties , and then expect the British public to pay for your Coronation. Come on Charles have a small family gathering , and pay for it yourself. We cannot afford more money wasted on you . You could get a loan from Lloyds to pay for it or sell off some of the surplus properties.
If the stupid Tories do not get behind Sunak , the daft baskets will all be out of work very soon . It is time they all grew up and became men , not silly little boys s******ing in the toilets .They have a leader , the Country is teetering on bankruptcy , they have made us the laughing stock of the World . Time to stand solid , get a plan together and start making something we can sell to bring money in. That is if we have any Company that is British owned left !!
Has she gone yet , it is the only way to stabilise our Stock Market , and give this Country some credibility. We are the Worlds laughing stock at the moment. Perhaps she could take the devil with her , namely Rees Mogg , dreadful pompous looney.
