Is anyone aware of a video, circulating by e-mail, that purports to be part of an investigation, by The Sun newspaper, of RT Diagnostics PCR testing activities. If the video contents proves to be correct, and accurate, then there are worrying concerns about the whole testing strategy.
But on the other hand it maybe just another “mis-information scam.”
Anyone seen it, or similar?
Perhaps, as a result of the impact that this decision will have on Swedish life, we may see in the future common sense being applied to the mis-described “Climate Emergency,” and associated attempts to drive civilisation back into the Stone-Age!

You are correct in what you say about the CB being redeemed by the company.
However, is redemption the same as “open market” purchase? If the company were to make such piecemeal purchases, and retain them in “Treasury,” does this contravene the CB’s covenants?
The administration of the CB’s is conducted by the Bond manager, and as we have recently learnt the identity of the ultimate owners of the CB’s is closely guarded, and “confidential” information!
Given a substantial shareholding, would it not be in the interests of such a shareholder to mitigate the CB maturity risk by acquiring control of a percentage of the CB’s? There are all-sorts of imaginative deals that could be “cooked up” within the City to facilitate this – but I’ll leave these possibilities for others to speculate upon.

About 13,000 border staff will be able to ask for more regular saliva tests for Covid-19 from mid-August, about seven months after the Government’s own experts first recommended it be offered.
The managed isolation and quarantine staff and those working at the Ports of Tauranga and Auckland will be able to choose the tests as a full replacement to the weekly nasopharyngeal testing, or nasal swab, Covid-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins said on Wednesday.
He also said 16 border staff working outside MIQ had been fined $300 for not undergoing testing. It comes after experts criticised the Government for being slow to act, including after a security guard skipped testing for six months.
“The Ministry of Health’s advice is that saliva testing is an increasingly viable and reliable method for public health surveillance purposes,” he said.

I wonder - why are we trying to "save the NHS" ???
Apart from its obsession with speculative impending CV19 doom, the NHS seems to be failing in all other areas of delivering the fully functioning UK healthcare service we used to have!
The befuddled knee jerk reactions of the HIGNFY team at number 10 – masquerading as HMG – clearly lack focus and are certainly lacking in their ability to identify national healthcare priorities.
Perhaps politicians fighting in the playground with each other are the intended diverting spectacle, whilst “mates” make their money behind closed doors!
In the short-term I'm more interested in the amount produced daily and how that can be quickly increased.
Reserve estimates are for financing the longer term work plan of the whole, and adjacent, fields
HURR now constitutes approximately 20% of the value of CA Market Capitalisation!
So is investing in stocks and shares generally!
As a matter of interest how would a PI purchase one of these CB's?
I am sure quite a few on this BB would like the benefit of a practical lesson on purchase of a HUR CB, if there was one in our midst with the experience and expertise to give it.
Any takers?
Agreed - DC, spot on!
Pretty safe bet they will not be replaced by Price Waterhouse Cooper!
Ancient proverb - “Keep your friends close and your enemies closer”
Chaffe needs to be removed from the woodpile, in due course - but at the moment he "knows where the bodies are buried" and this will be of use in the near future.
I would speculate that there will be no appeal by the company against the Court's decision. The Bondholders might continue but we should hear from them in due course
Will the ex-non exec directors and the exec directors pay back the £17 million they wasted - or at the very least pay back their un-earnt fees whilst in the service of the company?
Antony Maris, CEO, commented:
"I would like to thank Steven and the other non-executive directors for their contribution to the Board over their years of service, particularly during the recent challenging period for the Company - I have been very grateful for their counsel and support. I would also like to welcome David and John to Hurricane and look forward to working with them as we aim to maximise the value of our West of Shetland assets for the benefit of stakeholders."
As I speculated would be the result post 5 July
Board Changes and Withdrawal of General Meeting Requisition
Hurricane Energy plc, the UK based oil and gas company, announces the following board changes.
The Chairman, Steven McTiernan, and the other non-executive directors, John van der Welle, Sandy Shaw, Beverley Smith and Dr David Jenkins, resigned from the board on 29 June 2021 with immediate effect.
Additionally, the Company announces that Alan John Wright and David Ian Craik were appointed to the board as non-executive directors on 29 June 2021. Alan John Wright assumes the position of Interim Chairman.
The Company also announces that it has received a letter from Crystal Amber Fund Limited withdrawing its requisition notice (the "Requisition Notice") pursuant to section 303 of the Companies Act 2006 (the "Act"), requiring that Hurricane's board (the "Board") convene a general meeting of shareholders. This meeting, due to be held on 5 July 2021 at 11:00 am BST, will now no longer take place. In addition, the resolutions proposing the re-election to the board of Steven McTiernan and Sandy Shaw due to be voted on at today's AGM will now be withdrawn.
Having consulted with its largest shareholders, the Company and the new non-executive directors, unanimously resolved on 29 June 2021, that in the event that the resolutions proposing the re-election of Antony Maris and Richard Chaffe as directors of the Company are not approved at today's AGM, the Company would immediately re-appoint them as directors of the Company, in order to ensure that the Company is able to maintain its ability to safely and effectively operate as a listed business. Such re-appointments would be subject to approval by the shareholders at the Company's 2022 AGM.
