WTF does this imbecile have to f**k up next in order to get sacked? First the trains fiasco then the Ferry Co with no ferries and now this "The government will pay £33m to Eurotunnel in an agreement to settle a lawsuit over extra ferry services in the event of a no-deal Brexit."

At least Lloyds are cancelling the shares they buy back instead of just parking them in Treasury which allows them to divi them out to staff later.

Good or not Mr Market he no likee. There is always this afternoon tho!

By the way I have friends in Israel who are roundly disgusted by the antics of their PM ( and Trump for that matter) and your usual sweeping generalisations about Israel and the muslim world betray your superficial predjudices. I have spent some very enjoyable times in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, but also Beirut, which has the best food in the ME. I particularly like Muscat in Oman as well, but you can certainly keep Dubai. PS: always fly El Al as they have the best anti-missile systems on board the planes.

So what BB, so was Trump. It does not mean that he is not also a damned liar and a crook. By the same token just because she was democratically elected do you think that disgraced MP Fiona Onasanya should not have been prosecuted for perverting the course of justice?

White elephant = Brexit

Benjamin Netanyahu: Israel PM faces corruption charges. He will face charges of bribery, fraud and breach of trust in connection with three cases, pending a final hearing.The prime minister is alleged to have accepted gifts from wealthy businessmen and dispensed favours to try to get more favourable press coverage.

By the way the gold issue is like saying if only I hadn't sold that flat I bought in London back in 1988 for £500K it would be worth millions now. As rightly said at the time "This was a long-term investment decision designed to reduce the risk to the Government in its foreign currency reserves, not a short-term attempt to play the market."

Yep that he. Like shares, you win some you loose some:-)

Say what you like about poor old blind Gordon but if it were not for him and the then chancellor Alasdair Darling we would really be up shit creek without a paddle. If they had not acted quickly to sort out the banking crash you probably would not have any run down shitholes to rent to anyone!

I asked for any company thinking he would come back with INEOS that anti-union champion of free enterprise, fracking and tax evasion run by well known Monaco resident Jim Ratcliffe. Ineos incidentally received as much as 300M euros in EU state aid since June 2016, despite Jim's repeated complaints about the "unfair" EU tax system.

Still waiting for an answer nuri123a?

Try Kilmacolm (or Worthing) if you want a quiet life. Anyway read the numbers, EU immigration is dropping like a stone and will be replaced by non-EU immigrants. If they all leave by the way who are you going to rent to?

You can download the pdf file of the results from the company website, but why they have not been released as an RNS as is usual I have no idea. Final dividend is 7.1p per share and the total dividend for 2018 is 11.7p same as in 2017.

It depends greatly where they all end up geographically. Send them all to Kilmacolm I say! Anyway irrespective of Brexit it does not look to me as if the numbers will change one way or the other as EU migration will continue to decline and the growth will be in non-EU numbers. I went to a UK citizenship bash last night for a German colleague. She opted to get it before March 29th as you can retain your German nationality and passport as long as the country you adopt is within the EU at the time you take it up. Good timing as well as she just renewed her German passport for 10 years. So no non-EU queues for her at the airports! Desperately seeking distant ancestor from ROI myself.

Well I asked her the day after the referendum result why she voted to leave the EU and she said too may b****s. I could not bring myself to speak to her a for at least a week after that. My in laws also voted leave and when the missus asked them why they said "immigration". Asked if either of them had ever met an EU immigrant or come across one they said no. Agreed in Kilmacolm this is hardly likely, but then they do both read the Daily mail so that might explain it.

Rolls Royce is unionised and that is one of the most successful engineering businesses in the UK. Name one non-unionsied UK engineering Co that is better.

So what? the wheelchairs of the Costa Geriatrica don't really need motorways do they? I wouldn't trust most of the residents of Worthing behind the wheel of a car on any road, let alone a motorway!

will not be pleased
"The number of non-EU migrants arriving in the UK to work and study jumped to 261,000, while net migration to the UK from the EU fell to 57,000. Due to increasing numbers arriving for work and study, non-EU net migration is now at the highest level since 2004.
You see she doesn't NOTICE the EU ones!

According to short tracker we are the 23rd most shorted stock on the UK market with 5.9% by 8 institutions (with the usual caveats about threshold reporting). Not a panic situation as yet, Marks and Sparks have 10.1% of their stock lent out!
