The latest Investing Matters Podcast with Jean Roche, Co-Manager of Schroder UK Mid Cap Investment Trust has just been released. Listen here.
“Can detect drug use to a certain building?.. even better reason to roll them out LOAD UP.”
They could start in Parliament, where 11 places have been identified for snorting.
Apre, based on your comments, I take it that you do not vote in the elections. In which case you should not be in a position to object to any political viewpoints. Those that do not vote should shut up with their political views.

Dear John,
Thank you for your reply to my email, I feel that for a change something is happening. I think that you will find the recent press release by BIVDA also very interesting (copy below for your information).
Kindest regards,

On Wednesday I sent the following email to my MP in Salisbury, John Glen
Good evening John,
I have just been listening to Neale Hanvey, on BBC Parliament. He was presenting a paper to the Government on the wastefulness and lack of support by the Government for the UK Diagnostic Industry. It is now out there on record, despite the house being empty, itself being shameful. I thought the responder, Michael Ellis, was patronising who tried to talk it down, just as your responses have been to me from the DHSC.
Well done Neale Hanvey, please listen/read what he has had to say.
Kind regards and best wishes for 2022.
David
His reply this evening:
Dear David
Thank you for your email and Happy New Year.
I am grateful for you raising the Adjournment debate on covid-19 contracts with me, and I congratulate the Member for Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath, Neale Hanvey, on securing this debate.
I understand the points Mr Hanvey was making but am sorry to hear that you felt the response to be patronising. However, I must stress that the United Kingdom has been able to achieve enormous success in our vaccine roll-out programme and our procurement of contracts.
While I could relay information on how successful the UK’s procurement of PPE and vaccines has been, as you listened to the debate you will be familiar with many of the statistics and I do not wish to insult your intelligence by repeating this information.
Please be assured I will continue to discuss the concerns Mr Hanvey raised with my colleagues.
Very best
John

Diplomat, got exactly the same reply from my MP - John Glenn in Salisbury. Since they live next door to each other perhaps they should both speak to Neale Hanvey. But it will be a waste of time, you will not get another response. As a past supporter of Boris my support for him and his Government is fast waning, but look at the opposition, Angela Raynor, Lisa Nandy and smug Keri Starmer, Lord help us.
A lot of words. The only thing which proves if the company is successful will be sales, which to date probably do not even cover the cost of all the exhibitions. We shall see. Davde - are you talking about Sirius?
Newliberty, I am not a disgruntled ex employee but I do agree with Muggins this has been a dog of a share over the last year, during which time GB and his wife have enriched themselves. All talk and not enough action.
"Just have to read the RNSs and listen to the presentations." That is exactly what Muggins is doing - it is all talk and few sales, China is six months overdue and debatable as to whether it will happen. The only thing that will happen is a merger with MSYS and GB taking the cream.

My last message for a month, not a regular poster. I am happy with four out of six of my holdings today. DVRG and HBR are the exceptions. HBR is understandable considering the oil price. There is nothing that has happened today which should have made DVRG fall over 7% except a very poor RNS which shows little respect for shareholders. The problem that I have with the Company is too much ‘aren’t I wonderful’ on Twitter and not enough substance.
T.Rat, Referring to SENS is like talking about chalk and cheese. SENS is in the middle of a potential MBO, so the share price is unlikely to move from the 90 - 95 range until a new buyer comes along. Tell you what though, if someone came in here with an offer of 40p I would be tempted.
T.Rat, you are looking at a different sector, oil is down, travel will be curtailed, a great opportunity for DVRG, time to put some contracts to bed. Gerry has been talking about the potential of China since the end of April but as I said in a message 30th April can you trust the Chinese. Err, no.
Ding, I have looked but not found out when those shares were due to be admitted to the market. Was there an option date?
I’ll add a ps: this has fallen over 5% today and 15% in the last fortnight.
I do not agree with the view that this RNS is a good move for the share price or holders. Look at the sales vs the buys. Too often directors, who know what the future holds, sell shares and then watch the share price slide - look at Bill Rhodes at ODX. I would not mind this IF there was proof of sales. The Company is giving away Labskin tests, now giving away vouchers for the potential breath test, has no commitment in China or anywhere else for water monitoring. It travels the world to promote itself at various fairs. The increase in income is not a true reflection on year on year, it is based on increased income from the merger with Modern Water. Gerrard needs to stop talking and start producing significant contracts and income.
Past interims would indicate the 29th November.
This reminded me of TW about ODX:
Don’t you hate it when people try to act all intellectual and talk about Mozart while you know they've never seen any of his paintings.
