The same arguments regurgitated all over again. It's not £10b to £20b asset value, 100 yrs life, growing product not going anywhere, £1B Invested to date, offtake agreements or secure stable environment that will determine the price in the current situation. It is the level of interest and number of potential investors willing to lend a helping hand that will be crucial in this challenging times.. They will certainly not do it for free. They will want a piece of the cake, a pretty hefty one. Gov's busy with their nonsense. Plus they understand that it will get built anyway. They don't care who will pay the taxes in the future as long as they are paid. HS2 is on the fast track to breaking its budget but I am sure they will be thinking of us (and thinking only). Fraser will do anything to get it done. Anything. 4 months to go. The last dilution with "1 for 22" clearly showed the position of the LTHs on his priorities' list and that was nothing in comparison to the current emergency.
One must be blind not to see the associated risks, the current price isn't around 3p levels for no reason. I am not saying it is impossible to pull this one off but it will be extremely difficult for the current LTHs to escape unscathed.
