Was listening to Radio 4 today, and an ex-Newcastle player was being interviewed about racism in the game. He came across really well, although personally i thought somebody being jailed for making ****** comments seemed a bit out of proportion, he seemed to think it was appropriate, but we all have a point of view.
Racism is generally the domain of morons, and jailing them for this somehow doesn't sit right. However this player spoke very eloquently about how social media have the power to snuff out this online bullying and abuse.
The point i'm getting to is the player was then asked about whether he thought the Saudis' buying Newcastle was a good thing, what with their misogyny, beheadings, spying, corruption, etc, etc (the Saudis' not Newcastle). He said that he was fine with it as long as the premier league sanctioned it and that it would be a good opportunity for the club to bring in new investment.

Is it just me?

People don't appear to be open to a life changing value regarding sale of assets. I feel part of this is an emotional protection. I did the same the other year. I'd bought quite heavily at .4 and .5 of a penny, a friend was constantly giving me his view of the short term move of share price. I couldn't give it too much credence as it seemed like it was too good to be true. To his credit the price did rise to over 20p and then mid 30s', as he told me!
My advice........Do not let your subconscious limit your dreams.

Hi Ian,

Haven't had a guess for a while.
Can you put me down for next Tuesday at 17:29 hrs?
If I get it to the minute do i get to take septic lil astern?

"I dont need to, its very easy to understand. Your obviously thick lol"
Sharestobuy, I don't want to humiliate you but don't you mean "You're obviously thick"? :-)

It reminds me of the two trump voters that were being interviewed, who were complaining that trump and his supporters were idiots. He said, "We're all smarter than you think. Donald J Trump, J for genius!!!!!!

Doom mongers, beware of when it's Jam today. The bitterest pill is hard to swallow.

Muldoon,
If I'm walking along the street and see a poster advertising a meeting of woke brethren, I realise it's not for me and walk on.
Also if there's a contact number for further details of the meeting, I don't ring it and rant that I'm not interested.
Not everything in life is going to be to your liking, life's a lot easier when you accept that.
Many of us enjoy Tilly's narrative.

I guess it could even refer to official cancellation of historical copper mine permits! Simply tidying up paperwork?

Mac,
I was reading through the English translations yesterday, struggling to make sense of what some of it means.
What are the "cancellations of licence" referring to?

Hard to see how we could be better positioned, strategically, time wise, and geographically.
Very positive

BTW,
Brilliant post Tigra :-)

Andynics,
So true, and they shouldn't.
I can't remember who said it but the line "You wont get a man to understand a different view, all the time his salary depends on not understanding that view".
That can be extended to an individual's constructed values, any threat of having to question them is shut down immediately. It's an emotional response, the subconscious just sees "threat" and goes on the defence.

Trading,
It seems obvious from your narrative that you're not one for investigating the middle ground.
I'm always looking for the other point of view, but your narrative suggests otherwise, it's as if whatever the current administration do it will be wrong. Whether conservative or labour, they all prioritise themselves and their cronies
I'll stay positive about our countries future, you can get positive when your chosen political allegiances manage to win an election.

1sttime,
Is the rate of stamp duty the same as if selling a second property as an individual?
If so, they have evaded one tax and will possibly only be paying the second tax at a level the rest of us do.
Seems morally wrong from a former prime minister. Not saying that many haven't done the same, just seems a bit rich when they are telling us what we can and cannot do.

I'm not a conservative voter but i don't see Johnson as "running the country into the ground".
Nearly all periods of significant change are accompanied by challenges, I have a positive outlook for the future of the UK.
We have been leading the way with vaccinations c.f a vast majority of the world. We are 24th in the world for covid deaths per capita, we are actively embracing the green revolution, the government provided an astounding level of support to employees and companies during the worst of the pandemic. However, we all need to take responsibility during these challenging times. I could go on.
What actually is it that you are referring to?

Just thought of another.
How about the philandering bully boy prescott, pushing and pushing for the house of lords to be a thing of the past.
Where is the bloated wife cheating bully gorging through endless meals at our expense? The House Of Lords.
Apparently he was going to instigate change from the inside. Funny, he's not said much on the subject for the last ten years.

Wasn't it Brown who was boasting about bringing an end to the boom and bust cycles whilst we were experiencing the longest period of global economic growth since the war. Shortly afterwards we had the crash and bust, but that wasn't his parties fault!
He also called that old lady a bigot for confronting him over the issue of immigration, without taking any time to listen to her concerns. I bet he doesn't even get the irony of that now! :-)
Loved the one where Cherie Blair got caught out over the dodgy flat deal and started her fake crying in front of the cameras. She's a QC for gods sake.
Or when tony started bringing god into the conversation to justify his manufactured claims and actions regarding Iraq.
I could go on, and i don't even vote conservative :-)

The 26 bungee is firmly attached to the stork , and it keeps coming back
Will require the DORC machete to cut its head off so it just dries up .
Meanwhile the PIs continue to trade & accumulate

My musings

If only Brexit was that Binary.
Personally I didn't have enough knowledge to vote either way but I love the way some bathe in the hope it harms the country, simply because the vote didn't go the way they wished.

They have a similar "head in the sand" attitude with current issues within their organisation.
They are breaking employment law regs by treating people differently, based upon age, gender, sexual orientation and ethnicity. They are hiding behind the positive action* of Equal Ops legislation and then when it comes to the "interview" enacting positive discrimination**. There's already a mass of claims building and we, the licence payer, will be shelling out for the BBCs lack of introspection.
Ten years down the line we'll see them trying to excuse themselves.
As you may guess iIm a fan of Thatcherism , where ones opportunities are based around a meritocracy, where no one person is advantaged due to their age, sex, gender, sexuality, ethnicity.
* Positive Action.. Taking steps to assist redressing imbalances of the past by ensuring those that were historically excluded are made ware that they are welcomed within the organisation.
** Positive Discrimination. Basically not giving somebody a job because of their immutable qualities such as gender, age, sex, ethnicity

Completely agree CJ. The media should be held responsible for their sensationalist and polarising reporting.
