Hello Spights

God alone knows, my wife and I were supposed to be in new York in May but we've cancelled our trip. When we first visited usa back in the 70's it was a joy, sadly it has degenerated into a very unhappy and dangerous place now and the lack of gun control is lamentable

Good morning Winstanley,

I wasn't making a judgement call on president trump., I merely pointed out the fact that the dinner was held at an external hotel it wad more difficult to control members of the public who sadly in America today are very unpredictable

Hi Spights

The gun culture in us is just plain çrazy.

I've visited three times and now dislike what the nation has become with narcotics and gun crime at scary levels

Winstanley

To be fair this event took place at the hilton Hotel which is open to guests so more difficult to control than if it was held within the white house. This is why president trump wants to gift the nation a huge ballroom capable of hosting very large volumes of guests in a controlled environment

Jewish or 'Pro Jewish idiots' is what you said.

Whether they are either way my point remains

Arguably there shouldn't be any problem with both members of the us delegation being Jewish. I could understand if Iranians were Arabic, but of course that is not accurate as they are distinctly persian and until the hard-core Islamic revolution were actually very friendly to each other, indeed many Iranians, enen today, are not in favour of their current leaders attitude towards isreal and maintain cultural relations with Jews.

Thank you Spights, same to you

I've no desire to burst anyone's bubble, however stock markets are unsustainable high and yes a recession is very possible. It would be nice to think that we could weather a storm around £6 but I fear this could fall back sub £5 just as fast as it soared a couple of weeks back.

The new board have a great deal of work to do to enlist the trus value/potential of bp and this is not helped by the negative woke interference at the agm.

My position is nervously content for now.

I don't see these as a threat the woke elements you refer to are stereotypical of those who play with other people's money

Meoryou

Hopefully your optimism is proven correct.

Deputy governor of BoE issued a statement today saying she expects stock markets to fall at some point. A bit if an odd thing to say but perhaps worthy of consideration

Harmonica

Your terminology made me laugh

Meoryou

It's curious how quickly we have become unhappy with 556 given that if the war hadn't happened we would still be languishing in the low 400's

Laura2022,

Respectfully, if the source was anything but a currupt bbc with an obvious axe to grind, then it might have had some credibility

Senator

I agree but what does that drop tell us ?

When peace returns and the Strait is reopened safely on a permanent basis oil price and bp stock price will return to true value, and not the temporary inflated heights we've seen over the past couple of weeks. The big question is then what is the true value going to be. I hope it has a 5 in front of it.

Fleecy, very sensible move.

Peace will bring the real test for bp

Meoryou,

As much as I may wish it, I can see 650 anytime soon.

If they get a peace deal with Iran the price of oil will drop. The Meg factor is unknown yet but she is undoubtedly a great asset. What we will see is a true test of bp true value

All reports indicate that UK economy is going to take the biggest hit due to Iran war/oil shortage.

Just how bad will our pathetic government allow things to get before the see reality. We simply cannot function without oil irrespective of the crazy rantings of Ed Milliband.

Will common sense prevail anytime soon and reopen north sea oil, or will we have to see our economy decimated before the reactionary government finally wakes up. Try being proactive for once you useless bunch of idiots

Simply that China is Irans largest trading partner

One assumes China are exempt from the $2m toll so they wouldve had a free pass through the blockade.

Should read kind
