swingman, to show you how good I am, I predict that same overpaid muppet will raise interest rates by.... 0.75%.
But, the constant knee-jerk reactions by the markets is becoming tiresome. Seems like they are the only one surprised every time he does that.

BTW, if anyone is interested, the energy cost in Switzerland will be lower than the UK come October, let that sink in when the average Swiss salary is 87k CHF

AC, I am curious about your motivation of being on here if you are not invested (based on what you wrote a while back). If you are shorting then so be it, but just stirring the pot is childish, is it not?

Hi bobbins,
Not sure if I have the right to be angry at a government that no longer represents me (or actual residents of the country for that matter) but glad my view is not just my own...

I guess that tie will always be there as long as I am considered British!

Yep, too much climate agenda, trying to get the green vote.
What they fail to realise is that the green votes don't provide tax revenue, financial contribution, or economy growth, yet want tax funded insulation and heating.

Again, pandering the the smallest minority that shout the loudest, the same people that get loud in a bar and then have their face smashed in, 'cos they cannot back up their BS.
It's funny that although I do not live in the UK nor plan on ever coming back I am troubled by the state of the country and the lack of quality leadership the the country that has been absent for at least 10 years.
All the poor/low/middle income families being hit by rigged energy prices that will suffer for the foreseeable future.
And the government just lets the economy slip into the abyss.

People that are on low income or unemployed will not be able to pay anyway. They should not pay either.

Because Powell just tanked the stock market... again.
I really don't know why they just don't do a 1.00-1.5% increase in one shot, rip the damn plaster off and be done with it.
The way the FED is doing it is like it's constipated, it knows its there, just need to push the bugger out.
The market will then absorb it and we can all get on with our lives.

Potty, we shall miss your culinary perversions, but understand your frustration.
Maybe see you later down the road.
Good luck in your future investments

AC, you don't need a visa, you are just not allowed to stay unless you are Lewis Hamilton or Tina Turner.
Or get a job in the local market that really needs your skills...

Hi bobbins, could be better regarding the stocks, but what can you do?
Hope you are doing ok brother? Depressing as it seems, at some point things will turn, albeit slowly.
You should succumb to a Hobnob...

And no, no plans in returning to the UK, too depressing to even contemplate that. I would either become suicidal or homicidal, neither is a good outcome!
It angers me so much to watch the UK government ignore it's citizens and pretend like everything is hunky-dory and painted pink.

"One day when this share makes us all some money "

LMFAO, good one, thanks for making me laugh.

Again....

And yet the UK government sits on it's hands doing nothing, meanwhile all around, governments have already taken steps and capped rising rises in energy.
But media is happy to blame BP, Shell and others when they finally make a profit, completely ignoring the fact that the lost billions when they walked away from their interests in Russia and made very little during the plandemic lockdowns...

UK is now officially a bankrupt country, the government is morally and ethically bankrupt and have been for a long time now.
This is what happens when you only get to vote every 5 years and not have referendums.

1946, you are an idiot. you think only Brits fly BA?
Pension is a non issue, they got rid of the high pensions about 7 years ago.
Inflation, meh, that will go too, don't believe me? Have a look back in time, high inflation is followed by lower and lower inflation.
Tories and Brixit... yeah, I cannot disagree with that one, BoJo is making his monthly Ukraine visit (brown envelope collection). Some one needs to cull that fat oink. Not advocating violence, just saying...

PottyTime I'm breaking out the canned tuna this evening, washed down with a bottle of Coke , just to have the taste repeating...

I'm starting to think there is more at play here than just staffing issues.
Maybe they have been told to reduce flights, as a wider 'climate change' agenda being pushed hard right now.
I'm just pi55ed off I sold half my BP shares to buy more of this. I would be £22k better off today if I had kept them. Still, one day Rodney, one day!!

livestock, we know about that, but seems like not making headlines because of the lack of severity. Much like the hantavirus from years ago, swineflu etc.

The sooner these people switch to more acceptable form of protein the better , maybe they should start on the insect diets that WEF wants us to eat?

livestock, " look at China they still struggling"

They want a zero covid policy, that is why they are struggling, not because they have it worse than anywhere else in the world.
If covid proved anything, it was that a virus cannot be contained, ever.

MSG4GO, precisely. If we get to covid levels (2021) I'll be happy.

EC, by your rational if they cut passenger numbers by half and flights, use less fuel, hopefully we get back to the 200's?

I am not taking the pi44, but you make sense by today's logic. We had the sp at nearly double during covid, now if you can replicate those passenger and flights numbers we will be ok.
The market clearly unhappy with lots of people flying.
