RE: Nteresting how much focus is shifting from AIM noise to Phase 3/Fast Track potential now — feels like the market is finally starting to price in the scale of the opportunity26 May 2026 10:47
Sorry to get the organisations mixed up, but my point stands. If the problem is the frequency of the approvals board, then it should be increased. If there has been a sequence of small points being identified one at a time (causing the approval cycle to be restarted) then it is very reasonable to ask why that is!
After all, the UK authorities were very familiar with Scancell and iSCIB1+……and have STILL taken at least five times as long as the FCA (who knew none of the background).
If government is worried about why growing companies leave the UK because they cannot succeed here, then this sort of massive nonsense is one of the prime causes!
And, as for the BBC, their investigations people took 4-5 years before starting to investigate organised crime taking over our High Streets, long after Joe Public had been asking for police to investigate the vape shop, nail bar, hairdresser money laundering activities. The chance of them poking their nose in elsewhere until it is a decade too late is minimal (nb the conviction of Peter Murrell - 16 years after he started stealing in full sight).
