I think it's very simplistic... russ1a good, the west bad....
The russ1an botts don't like reasoned truth, it gets them angry and riled up. Next will come insults, you've just seen the group ganging up on you to try to force you away and the same posters who raise the war topics ask why others do that.
As the whole world knows (even China) russ1a cannot be trusted. One day hopefully, her people will get the truthful, honest and democratic government they deserve. Until then, they will suffer hardships, false wars, and idiot trolls who are novicethinkers.
I wonder why Ukraine wishes to join NATO?
"Three decades ago, the newly independent country of Ukraine was briefly the third-largest nuclear power in the world. Thousands of nuclear arms had been left on Ukrainian soil by Moscow after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. But in the years that followed, Ukraine made the decision to completely denuclearize. In exchange, the U.S., the U.K. and Russia would guarantee Ukraine's security in a 1994 agreement known as the Budapest Memorandum.
It is hard to estimate whether Ukrainians would foresee the impact. It is clear that Ukrainians knew they weren't getting the exactly legally binding, really robust security guarantees they sought. But they were told at the time that the United States and Western powers — so certainly at least the United States and Great Britain — take their political commitments really seriously.
On whether Russia has respected the memorandum….Russia just glibly violated it. And there's a mechanism of consultations that is provided for in the memorandum should any issues arise, and it was mobilized for the first time on March 4, 2014. So there was a meeting of the signatories of the memorandum that was called by Ukraine and it did take place in Paris. And the foreign minister of the Russian Federation, Sergey Lavrov, who was in Paris at the time, simply did not show up. So he wouldn't even come to the meeting in connection with the memorandum.
Russia argues that it signed it with a different government, not with this "illegitimate" one. But that, of course, does not stand to any international legal kind of criteria. You don't sign agreements with the government, you sign it with the country".
Get share certificates issued in your own name, then the rest can follow. You will need to get a move on though.
Just another false flag operation to get the russ1an public ready for conscription. How many soldiers were lost to this "uprising" ? None. The generals knew this all along so did not resist. It's also allowing putler to be even more draconian with his internal clamp down. if Prigozhin is not dead in a month that's certainly the case.
When one has been lied to for much your life, with only one source of information (propaganda), normal people are, in some ways at least, not fully responsible for their actions. We’ve seen this in Europe in the 30’s America in the 50’s and the UK in 2010’s When given truthful information, and having the willingness to confirm it, people mostly seem to do the right thing.
Stanislav Petrov
Stanislav Yevgrafovich Petrov (Russian: Станисла́в Евгра́фович Петро́в; 7 September 1939 – 19 May 2017) was a lieutenant colonel of the Soviet Air Defence Forces who played a key role in the 1983 Soviet nuclear false alarm incident.[1]
“ His decision to disobey orders, against Soviet military protocol,[3] is credited with having prevented an erroneous retaliatory nuclear attack on the United States and its NATO allies that could have resulted in a large-scale nuclear war which could have wiped out half of the population of the countries involved. An investigation later confirmed that the Soviet satellite warning system had indeed malfunctioned. Because of his decision not to launch a retaliatory nuclear strike amid this incident, Petrov is often credited as having "saved the world".[4][5][6]”
Having started a transfer to AJ Bell on the 13th to carry over the ISA from ii, I've now been told it's too late and they have taken a decision not to allow it. As the process had started and comunication had taken place between them and ii I'm a bit miffed. Has anyone else had this outcome? Luckily ii are willing to issue certs or were yesterday, so all is not lost.
GLASH.

Stop taking those pills, they are clearly messing with your mind. I;ve never said any such thing. Go seek medical help, you need it.

Yes, everything has to be paid for, not all though by U.K. taxpayers. Are you saying that foreign companies making excess profits in our water, electricity, gas and rail sectors etc are to be cossetted as they are presently ? Are you saying that investment in the population of a nation for it's long term advancement is not warrented?
Are you saying that the corruption during the covid outbreak, (now accounted at over £75 Billion) was a good use of that money? Are you saying that the £80 to £100 Billion per year lost due to a certain 2016 vote is beneficial and good value?
So, not all spending is paid for by U.K. taxpayers that is clear and easy to see, and what is paid is not always used or distributed wisely. To deny that is simply bad economics, and the blindness of a closed mind.
And Ukrainians got richer while the UK has.........(Too obvious to write).
Bitten, Thanks, you made me laugh with that last statement! When have you ever aportioned the blame for this invasion on those that instigated it?
As I have said many times, this is a Polymetal board. Yes I agree that the war is impacting the company but it always seems to be the pro war, pro russ1a group that continually churn this up. That I call propaganda.
You continually infer that all western media is biased, forgetting that there are hundreds of information sources in the west whereas there are very few if any non-controlled services in russ1a, but that does not stop you forever repeating it. If you don’t like replys that do not conform to your narrative, don’t keep raising the matter. It’s not censorship after all, for it happens in your country all the time, and you have never mentioned that as a problem.
Bitten.
It is not a proper debate when all you do is ignore the instigators of this war and blame the people defending their nation. Or use false childish “whataboutisms” to justify what is happening now. It's that simple.
Bitten.
I have not defended any violent actions. You on the other hand do defend them. There is no justification for the invasion of Ukraine but you support it. It is thought that russ1a has lost many tens of thousands of young men. In the cause of what? In the cause of one persons demand for past empires. Tell that to their families.
Bitten.
"the war will last till the West decides is time to call it a day". So, nothing at all to do with russ1a invading then?
Deluded propagandist.
John.
You seem confused, if anything potler is the one who has made the most errors, first he assumed that the west would just roll over and accept his invasion and second, did he not say that this NOT war would be over in three days? I don't see Zalensky having to use mercenaries or convicts from prisons. There’s a really quick way to end this NOT war, and that’s for the invading countries troops to return home, so that the killing can end.

I would not lose hope at all. They are a well-run company, with a shareholder focus, trying their best to weather a monumental storm of circumstances outside of their control or making.
GLASH.

I don’t think there will be consensus as there are too many different personal circumstances. I for instance am transferring mine from ii to AJ Bell so as to keep the tax wrapper protection. This does have disadvantages as it’s not possible to trade until and unless relisted on an AJB managed exchange, and I suppose if the company were going down the tubes, a quick get out would be difficult/impossible. Many have taken share certs etc. Others have done differently, as befits their situations and thoughts. All the same, time is ticking on this.
GLASH.
