Pacey, tell us how you and your family will not benefit from Brexit, it may be easier. I would not be very interested to hear your views, especially as its all about you and your family as opposed to Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
Just doing my bit to ensure this pointless political mine is bigger than yours debate lingers on and on and on, cant wait for people to start throwing punches.
Openreach bla bla bla, this is the BT share forum, if you have secret insider Openreach knowledge or work for Openreach then you know damn well that you need to speak to your service providers about complaints, or fix it your self knuckle heads.
I overheard someones conversation on a train and they was saying that they was delivering gigabit broadband via bla bla bla, what a load of old cack. John down the pub overheard the new CEO has only accepted the role to oversee the sell off of BT next April and DT will not be buying Openreach leaving them high and dry, Ofcom will be appeased and will ease off all regulation for the new European company and also give them encouragement with the largest government contribution ever seen to build the new joint owned European built Chinese owned superfast nuclear broadband network.
Dofe if gambling your money on the stock is not for you why don't you go act pretentious and smart on a forum that may be of interest to you, or have you been been banned from Knobjockeycentral and just looking for a new place to feel important, anyway, welcome to the forum please feel free to ask Bluepete as many questions as you wish regarding investment tips using the private message system on here, he is a genuine guy and a real hoot, comes across as a bit of a friendless loner but its okay as his ma says he is a bit special so you should get on fine.
Link not working, not allowed to copy and paste, it says that Blackrock are not accused but are just helping the investigators locate 418 instances that amount to more than £5.8 Billion of tax evasion. related to a tax loophole around share dividend payments, its not them, they just happen to loan the money to the people that do it, thats how I read it.

Darkest corners of the web rumours?
I am stumped, I know whats going on, you can all see it, my concern is the amount of people benefiting from the information thats coming from a "rumour" or "source", almost akin to automatic pilot kicking in, Is there something underhand going on?, it appears to be going on not just to make a quick buck. Its almost as if somebody is playing a game with BT, because they already know what the outcome is, playing with loaded dice.
H-hi, I fear the prospect of free money for the network will end up in the hands of those that are already actively seeking to install a new fibre network and not those that cant see the way the future is panning out and are still relying on and dependent on copper, in fact trying to rinse consumers by ringing the neck of every last drop of its copper, by actively deceiving or misleading consumers with the fibre to the cabinet and Gfast product.
So they sneak in, raise the price then sneak out with the profit causing the price to fall, using perfect timing. If they are prepared to risk that much money, good luck to them, however, what are they doing it for (The money obviously, but the risk appears massive) and why now with BT, somethings going on in front of our eyes, probably so close its blurry, I guess we will find out soon enough.
Don't panic, what happened yesterday is done and dusted, onward and upward, new CEO has said he is delighted to be getting paid 1.1 million pounds a year and a 240% of his salary yearly bonus, thats fantastic news, stop the negativity and look at all the positive news such as Breggzitt and The Trump pulling out of the Nuclear treaty, may invest in some gas mask and bomb shelter company's. Blatant cheating and insider trading is still against the law isn't it? , or have the laws been relaxed?
Speculation based evidence, based on the speculation thats on this very forum, evidence ? You know I started by saying speculation, don't think I can add any evidence like some think they can. Well I do have somewhat of an advantage when it comes to these shares, and I hold a burning secret that you may wish to know, just subscribe to my website or send me copious amounts of many to my uncle in Cameroon.
The type of people that cant tell you what it is they know, until shortly after it happens, then, Yay I predicted that, aint I clever!
I have no more idea of what is going on than any you do, I would like these shares to recover once and for all.
The share price direction seems to be based on speculation of a buy out, and not on the current managements strategy and big bold bigger bolder plans, cant see a take over improving anything other than a short term spike of interest in the SP, what would you do if you was to sell it? Would you dress it up and put the steak on the plate best side up, then serve it on top of all the greasy under cooked inedible bits, charge double the price then run away, thats what normally happens.
The company are preparing that steak as we speak, its becoming rather obvious isn't it?
Takeover BT or Takeover Openreach or both or just buy BT and ditch the bit bit that makes the money? or just buy out the Openreach side and carry on pretending they are working for all service providers benefit?
Openreach the company of 30000 engineers, with 15000 people doing all the work in the network and creating 1/3rd of the parent company revenue and 15000 Managers that justify there existence by doing......what?
Unfortunately the village idiot regrets selling both his shares at £2.02, I am pleased with the current trend, I am still looking for the reason, however it appears to be a combination of what we are all aware of, but am expecting news of some sort from the company soon. Long and holding, hope to see £2.60 soon.
Now then, do you think for one second that screwing around with people that have already had there pensions closed and have had to increase their contributions makes for a happy workforce? ,I think not, the problem is those people will have to work longer, and the people it affects the most are the people that are nearing or thinking of retiring. The workforce are effectively having to make up for the company's piss poor management mistakes. The big bold plan that involves efficiency and cost cutting is making me sick, its what should be done on a daily basis for a blue chip company, not announced as something special and dress it up as a good idea, its ludicrous and as someone who has been through similar with another very large global company I cant begin to tell you how I feel. They want there pound of flesh and are going to end up with a workforce that don't want to be there, but are simply forced to stay because they have to work on longer as they cant afford to leave, this problem will ooze out in ways the company will regret. Stop it BT, just stop it!
Aus, BT have TV box and apps already, why would people want the same in the future? are they providing some new content?, its nothing new or exciting, sell me this new venture with apple then, Swedens had it for a long time, they dont seem to excited by it. The sale of Openreach is a natural progression as I see it, after all switching to fibre to all the cabinets and removing the copper feeds is set to be completed by 2025 and the rest of the network by 2033, what will 30000 staff be required for, look what they did in the states, you have a fault on your copper and they will not repair it, they convert you to fibre to the premises and give you a phone with a self contained back up battery., I have pals that do it in and around New York every day, they get paid a commission or bonus for every one they convert, the phone company's want the copper out the exchanges and they are closing/selling the central stations as soon as the last circuits are removed, its a mad rush to get as much commissions as you can as your job contract only lasts as long as the building is still live, its closed and you move on to the next one until that ones closed so on and so on until there are none left and you have completed your role. The diehards that insist they dont want fibre are now being paid to get converted, not sure how much but shows how fast its going, the fibre is not slowly creeping in, its already there.
