The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode with London Stock Exchange Group's Chris Mayo has just been released. Listen here.
Well if everybody takes heed of what Grant was advocating for yesterday, there'll be no need for a transport network will there?
£2 billion for a cycle network ... and the rest - did I hear that right? The world's gone mad!
I thought this article might be of interest to some

good morning muscorum, I do hope that your mum is ok. We are all very aware that the death rate isn't good and that the lack of management from the outset has been and remains highly questionable. Putting context to the numbers reported was the reasoning behind my post. Incidentally, given that there has been so many inaccuracies in the daily numbers reporting, I prefer the ONS - recorded on the death certificate - for reference purposes, albeit there is time lag, and for total context all accompanying notes should be read. Yep, the stewards enquiry will be never ending, for sure. Stay positive muscorum, our 94 years old friend is still battling away, after 4 weeks.

"There are no championship medals in the battle against coronavirus. Every single death is a tragedy. The construction of a global league table of death is as tasteless as it is meaningless.
But last week, the Government’s critics decided to spotlight this morbid benchmark.
Which makes it appropriate to grab that spotlight, and pivot it. Britain does not have the worst Covid-19 death toll in Europe. So why are the proponents of British nihilism so desperate to pretend that we do?"

the coffee shops terraces are opening in our nearest spanish town this coming week Bruce - permitted 50% capacity and the councils are allowing them more street/square/common space to comply with distancing, so we'll see how it goes. The locals that we know who are participating the town hall paid for testing, have all tested negative in the first results. They are to be tested again this coming week, so see how that goes too. You take good care of yourself.
The book-trained socialist (the worst kind) versus the prole by birth – the former talks it, the latter walks it, talk is cheap. The fight for justice and liberty is not confined to, nor is it the sole right of the socialists in this world. An individual sitting to the right of the centre (or even further to the right) is not precluded from participating in taking action/s for and behalf of those less able - no matter the creed, colour, political leaning of the less able/fortunate. George Orwell went out there and lived with the people, in order to gain greater insight and understanding of just what. You can only claim the T-shirt/s when you do that thing. Book-trained socialists are sorely lacking on the T-shirt collecting front. Living with and mixing with the miners in Yorkshire, well there’s a whole lot of learning to be had from that, as is depicted in The Road to Wigan Pier.
You can take the person out of Leeds/Yorkshire but you can never take Leeds/Yorkshire out of the person. Philanthropy is what it’s all about for the real folk of this world. For all those fortunate to be acquainted with/friends with, many like-minded proles (by birth) who did good, the fight – by taking action - will continue, as all it needs to say on the epitaph is “he did his best/she did her best” … nothing more. I will/I can/I did, not the text book stuff, I would/I could/I should have – “if only” belongs to the talk is cheap folk.
Richard, I am only able to offer my opinion based on my interpretation of law. If there is no legal obligation to pay and the Articles are written as they are, and all investment risks are the shareholders, then what case can there be? I have searched high and low for any precedents on this matter - to no avail. I've even thought about contacting a legal "expert" friend from yesteryear to ask if he is aware of any precedents, then thought better of it, as I believe that I know what he'll say ... "you already know the answer" or similar. I'm all for fighting for justice and against injustice and if for one moment I could help the cause on this issue, then I would. The supervisor (PRA) in following the directive from the Systemic Risk Council address to the G20 Finance Ministers, carries more clout than the shareholders (whether in part or in total).
How do you propose starting any business when you don't know your backside from your elbow? Free speech is one thing, spouting garbage repeatedly and spamming the LSE forum with your nonsense, is altogether something else. My grandsons piggy bank wouldn't entertain your proposals let alone a real bank. The rope is all yours.
were removed this morning. Interesting bit of analysis ... somebody re-invents themselves on the 18th March and has posted 176 times, yet only 120 remain. 56 posts removed over a 7 week period. One for all to retain in the memory bank, given what was happening - left, right and centre (pardon the pun)- in 2019, on this particular forum.
Remember when you were a tot and your dad taught you how to play hangman? Noughts and crosses? Drafts? Then when you were a teen and he said "give em enough rope."
Just a little observation.

not a useless government, in managing a situation, that required management from the top down.
to see how long it would take for this blunder to be made known

wouldn't normally glance the sun, yet today they are the one bringing it to the fore
The blunder - heaven knows the costs associated with? algorithm?- is only scratching the surface, again. I learned 10 days ago from the recipients of letters, in relation to shielding, that the NHS were sending out letters to the wrong people. What next?
