I'm happy just have to wait a bit longer see if they can deliver what they say this time.

Jury is still out Gotreal until they start delivering on copper 1 month doesn't do it see where we are after the first half of this FY. Calling sentiment being affected by posts on here is just deflecting don't care what JMK says about that. If they had delivered on copper then it wouldn't have mattered and he wouldn't have had to come on here. Anyway back to waiting for them hopefully we should see 1k copper in the first quarter which would be a start.

STP you actually need holes in your head, nostrils, ears, mouth:)

You would have to have an IQ of 1 to be worse than the labour party at the moment. I always voted labour up until Blairs second term when I realised what a charlatan the man was. Never voted for them again as they have continually gone downhill even from then.

I haven't voted for anyone else since went to vote last time and wrote none of the above on my paper. We have had a succession of incompetents over the last 40 years. they all just lurch from one short term policy disaster to another. labour put something in Cons change it. Cons put something in Lab change it there is hardly ever any long term planning done as each one wants to score political points over each other to the detriment of the country.

One of the only things they have followed through on between them is net zero and what a success that has been electricity going up again and the total debt of all customers is now £3 billon.

Just to add Sam there would be more HMOs freed up available to the councils for more social housing which could be used to move some of the homeless in as they transition through the system. Of course you will always have some that don't want to come of the streets. There is no easy solution.

No wasn't meaning to treat them as criminals as capacity is reduced the camps could be altered at least they would have somewhere to go and can be helped in situ whilst they are rehoused and rehabilitated no just left on the streets.

Yes you are probably right yet to be convinced by the substance behind Farage good orator light on policy.

His immigration policy is an ok start but needs tightening up on law side of it and the hard left will try and use the law to block him as much as possible. He has to give them no room for manoeuvre also will need more returns agreements. Foreign aid removal or payments could sweeten the deals. Cancel the payment to France it isn't value for money.

If they did something along the lines of the WW2 camps which they can build quickly and quite cheaply they wouldn't need much above 100k capacity unlike the WW2 camps as long as they tighten up on the laws the throughput would be quicker and once the deterrent is there the incentive to arrive illegally would be removed. The camps would be cheaper to build than paying for hotels and HMOs and there would be a lag but they could get them up and running in 6 to 12 months.

As the numbers come down once no longer needed could house the homeless kill two birds with one stone whilst they are helped to get back onto their feet. Anything is doable just need the political will to face down the inevitable far left dissenters.

They will have to tackle it eventually this can't go on forever. Labour just tinkering at the edges they don't really want to solve it the left of the party will block them every time and won't let them anyway.

Whoever gets in will affect LLoyds and is still dropping but we have had a good rise see what the FCA come up with for redress on the car finance issue and the incompetent labour government and their next budget.

Yup Sam need to get these idiots out as soon as possible before the damage is irreparable.

Must be a lot of Labour voters ashamed of this lot that is in. Tories were shockingly bad last time out but this lot make them look almost competent. Country is in an absolute mess. Hope more and more defect to Corbyn's party get the far left all in one place.

Labour and Tories both unravelling as neither know what to do. Lib Dems and Greens are a wasted vote and jury is out on Reform not looking good for the future at all.

Reeves has four options in her next budget

1. Massive tax rises

2. Massive spending cuts

3. A combination of the two

4 Or stick two pencils up her nostrils and say "wibble wibble" and then she is ushered away by the white coats and the IMF steps in:)

Chat go to filters next to Share chat select who you want to filter job done:)

Does the IMF have enough funds to bail out France and the UK?

Looks like it will be a vote of no confidence then either that or mass protests. The yellow vests will be out in force.

Someone doesn't like my posts they are all in the public domain you don't have to look very hard must have hit a nerve or two:)

Done. Gotreal me and you have had our spats over the years and I have never considered filtering you and you have never filtered me but he was doing my head in.

I have never filtered anyone. How do I filter a robot?

The transaction is capped at $146 mill Harmprof don't forget about the $56 mill debt write off.

Harmprof,

I have been one of the biggest critics of JLP regarding Copper. Once the sale goes through they have outlined what they plan to do and will have the money to carry that out so we have to give them time to get on with it. Personally I would like them to give timelines but they would only be guidelines at the moment as there is still a lot to do.

The main thing I would like to see them do is put CAPEX figures to the things they have outlined for this FY. I think 5K copper is around breakeven point for them (net profit) wise so I don't expect a huge amount of positive cash flow from operations on that amount of copper but with the immediate sale money and a steady flow of cash from the sales they have previously done then they should be ok for cash for the things they have to do with some left over for this FY.

Of course other opportunities may present themselves throughout the year but I would really like them to pursue aggressively what they say they are going to do to increase output. See how the year progresses It will be a one trick pony so they have to deliver or we are up the creek without a paddle so to speak if they continue to keep failing to deliver.

He also said Roan can do a lot more than it is presently doing we shall see how it goes.

Around November 2024 Ed Miliband wrote on Twitter to state that “we” – his department – “have received independent advice” from the National Energy System Operator (NESO) on the so-called “clean power mission”.

This was an 84-page report entitled “Clean Power 2030 – Advice on achieving clean power for Great Britain by 2030” which, Miliband claimed, provided “conclusive proof that clean power by 2030 is not only achievable, but desirable, and can lead to cheaper electricity and a more secure energy system for Britain”.

However the advice from NESO was independent isn't exactly true. Formerly part of the National Grid, the system operator was transferred into public ownership, taking effect from 1 October, charged with the specific task of taking “a more strategic approach to achieving a net zero energy system by 2030”.

At the time of the transfer, Miliband – already in-post as energy secretary – actually said that the NESO would have “a huge role to play in delivering our mission to make Britain a clean energy superpower”, in his terms by providing “impartial, whole-system expertise on building a network that is fit for the future”.

But, as the Companies House filing attests (check it out), there is only one person with “significant control”, and that is “The Secretary Of State For Energy Security And Net Zero”, one Ed Miliband.

It is hardly in a position to give impartial advice as its very function is to work towards “achieving a net zero energy system by 2030”, and it certainly isn’t independent. It is wholly owned by the government, which paid £630 million for the operation.

Good old labour always looking after our interests.

rod liddle in the spectator

but it is not just the weight of numbers. it is also partly the manner in which many of these incomers have behaved which grates a little. the way in which towns and cities have been overwhelmed, changing entirely the nature of once familiar neighbourhoods. the stoic refusal of many to embrace the culture of the country in which they have made their homes and in many cases the espousal of aggressive and hostile views rooted in an implacable creed which always takes precedence.

but even this is not the main reason the tension has been simmering both last year and this. more than anything it is a blind fury at the way in which our elected representatives have allowed this to happen – and even welcomed it. and more even than this, the way in which the british seem at every turn to be having their noses rubbed in it.

the australian sociologist karen stenner, in her book the authoritarian dynamic, analysed what it was that made people cease displaying a peaceable nature when faced with large-scale immigration and become inflamed and angry (authoritarian, in her words). she found it was precisely this – when they have their noses rubbed in it. when they perceive that everything is tilted against them.

when the entire established order insists that ‘diversity’ is bloody marvellous and we can’t have enough of it and that britain’s history is steeped in wickedness. that nothing whatsoever beneficial came of colonialism. that black people and other minorities should be hugely over-represented in our films, dramas and adverts on the television and that the rest of us should suck it up without question. that white people are inherently, unavoidably ****** and that we should be at the back of the queue for any job we might fancy.

that if we start to question a possible connection between the religion of islam and a certain predilection towards deranged homicidal violence we will be guilty of islamophobia and prosecuted. that if we tweet our anger we will be prosecuted. you can get away with this stuff for just so long – and then even the mildest-mannered will start waving a flag saying, in effect: we’re still here, just.

thought some maybe interested in their opinion on why their is growing unrest in the uk. flags seem to be springing up all over the place.

Very funny:)

Who are you my mother?
