" I wouldn't even be surprised if the sp malaise is because they've lined up a highly dilutive acquisition and have agreed with their II mates that 12.5p is the raise price."

Well it wouldn't be the first time would it ? Alledgedly of course......

There's the reason for the drop then Spights.

Public spending ATM is a blunt instrument, if more of the responsibility for spending of public money was taken locally it would hopefully be spent in more relevant ways than it is now.

SP : Green means down

NtM "Do I think he will? No"

Me neither NtM.

Quady: Yes I do, that's what leveling up is supposed to about, the South admittedly creates more wealth but we as a country should have an equal opportunty to access to the public purse.

Buybacks would be a novel idea for CB ! He doesn't generally do things like that, why would he do that ?

It wouldn't perpetuate the gravy train as such, just make it worth more SP wise.

Gravy train = regular salary.

The debt will take decades to pay down, whoever is in charge will have some hard decisions to make, hard in not popular with the public or their voters in particular.

The only way to pay it down, regardless of political affiliation, is through taxes on goods and services, profits, inheritances etc. Plus they will make up some other taxes to fill it out, road pricing etc, basically if you are living and breathing you will pay more and when you die they get a lump sum.

Only two ways to do it, ripping off the dressing in one very painful short lived rout or a dismal existence for years on the never never.

Whilst I am a local councillor( yes really), I wouldn't want to be taking the flak the higher ups will inevitably get.

Bozi, the point I was making was that in his opinion he's paid tax once on his earnings throughout his career, he can see that Labour will soak the rich in taxes that they can't avoid IE Inheritance tax, capital gains etc.

Enough is enough in his opinion is what I'm saying, do you think you will be paying more tax if Labour win the next election ?

If you read the last paragraph we agree on the quality of the present Govt, where I differ is your "want politicians who can be more proactive and flexible across a range of topics" All I see there is more MOR politics that don't move us forward as a country. I think we may well see a less than satisfactory partial "deal" with Brussels to bring us closer again to the EU, although I'm for more freedom of movement, something I've always been for, especially between "first World" countries.

For the record,I'm more than willing to let Labour have a go although it may give me a "I told you so " moment. Or not, time will tell.

Or suck all the oil out of Tain through Serenity while nobody owns it !

Sorry for the flippancy !

Bozi, the man is late 60's, he made his money here over 40 odd years and paid tax on it despite changing govts, he missed the last round of 93% tax the rich in the 70's when Labour were last truly Left wing. He wants to minimise his exposure to taxes he can't avoid here like inheritance tax etc. You must have got the wrong idea about my post as it's in the same vein as my anecdote.

Don't get me wrong, something has to change in this country because the leadership is weak and lacking direction.

I don't think the direction to solve it is Left or more of the same though. It's more Right.

Will we see 7p or 17p this week.

Place your bets.

Quady you do assume a lot to make an argument, How do you know what my friend is free to do or not ?

I don't know his financials intimately, he has a substantial property portfolio here run through offshore companies but it doesn't constitute his entire wealth , being a UK tax payer I'm no expert on how and where are the best places to keep your wealth as it doesn't concern me.

Bozi, some factors in a discussion are taken as a given otherwise an inordinate amount of time would be taken up with minutiae.

Your comment would be covered by this.

I prefer Ovaltine, it's a Tory thing.

I can only go by experience, I don't believing much of what I read, especially opinions.

I have a friend, a self made man worth in excess of 100m and he went to live in Antigua this year because he can see it coming too. He probably won't see the 15- from 20 year deadline so that's not a problem. He's there because tax residents don't pay inheritance tax, personal income tax, wealth tax, or capital gains tax and he has a youngish family. All taxes that will increase in the UK under Labour.

I know of others who officially live on Tortola for the same reasons

So we have a too far left leaning government and it's killing the country, so your bright idea is to go even further Left and go into throwing cash at the poor mode ?

That would be a good time to get into Brewery and Tobacco shares I think.

If you tax the rich too much they have the option and the money to leave, it's been done before and those rich folk don't come back until it's financially viable.

The "poor" won't get rich and the rich that don't leave will hide their money instead of re investing it, did you read about the Bamfords ? And it hasn't even happened yet .

I think it touch £6 before it touches £5 but apart from that I'll be doing the same hopefully.

I remember when 20p was the pits.

The Vultures are now so close you can see the whites of their eyes.

Something has got to give, Solg will be breathing it's last if it doesn't and all the speculators and smarta rses on here will just slip away like the smoke from the crack they've been smoking.

The SP surely has to prompt someone to show their hand or, as I've always said they will wait until it dies and take the corpse for next to nothing.

Or in other words

"Thanks for the email, we're fine as we are pal"

Off you pop then.
