George Frangeskides, Chairman at ALBA, explains why the Pilbara Lithium option ‘was too good to miss’. Watch the video here.
It seems that the general consensus is that most think a Labour win at the next general election will be bad for the UK Financial Markets. But looking back at FTSE 100 performance the last time when Labour where in Government from 1997 (the last time Labour won a General Election) to 2010 (the year the Tory's and Lib Dems formed a coalition Government)the market seemed to perform well (apart from the Dot.Com crash 2000 to 2002 and the GFC 2008, when all of the worlds stock markets crashed). So maybe a Labour win at the next General Election will not be the disaster for UK Financial Markets that many are predicting?

STP,
"The EU has said..
That with about 90% of under 25s pro EU, re-joining is only a matter of time.."
I have read the article and the EU does not say that. You have twisted and manipulated what was said to suit your narrative. The article said....
"In an October poll only 16 per cent said Brexit was an important issue. That may be a better test of public opinion than the polls uniformly saying that a clear majority now think Brexit was a mistake. Up to 90 per cent of voters aged 18-25 say they would vote to rejoin the EU. The problem is that this cohort doesn’t much bother with voting."
STP......."The police swoop on any found to lending support to Hamas, within seconds."
I have not seen that in any news reports. All I have seen in a news report is police swooping on one man holding a placard saying "HAMAS ARE TERRORISTS"! 6 police officers manhandled him to the ground and handcuffed him and took him away.
