If we do not leave the EU on 29/3 which now appears inevitable, and the delay is open ended, which the EU would prefer, then the consequences will be civil unrest on an unprecedented level.
Sadiq Khan has earmarked a number of London buildings as makeshift morgues, and has already consulted colleagues on the protocols for applying martial law in the capital.
Just the night before last, when May made the statement that no Brexit was now a real possibility, MPs on all side cheered loudly. Utterly brazen and shameless the lot of them.
History will judge this administration very harshly. It only expected one outcome of the Brexit vote and the electorate did not oblige, and the electorate will pay the price, while MPs sail serenely above it all.
The British maillots jaunes will be on the streets within a month.

Morning son,
The swedes are great at posturing and terrible at expediting. The worst possible combination.
Lofven’s latest waffle last week stating we can’t say how long these decisions take just exemplifies this. If he can’t say, who should we ask?
Here is an irony for you to consider.
Sweden allows tens of thousands of illegal immigrants to wander around Sweden unchecked, committing serious crimes and mugging, raping and murdering innocent citizens. The police are instructed to play it down, don’t record the crime, and the mainstream media collude to present a false picture of integration of harmony.
BEM come along, invest 77 million SEK in the future prosperity of Sweden, do everything by the book and get treated like crap.
Discuss.

Was full of brave words when Baylan was appointed, stating he would give him one month to get himself up to speed, then he would expect a decision on Kallak.
The month is now growing into two months and Mr Ahl is strangely silent...

Unfortunately, the Swedish entry is entitled “ Reindeer Rock “ by a Sami ensemble from Norbotten....

... has secured cross party agreement to throw full support behind the Swedish Eurovision entry:
“ This year’s song is a real belter and we are focusing on a top three placing. This effort will really get the country united behind the politicians, for once. Banging on about growth, inward investment, immigration etc etc is so last year. Everything is on hold until Eurovision success is ours. It’s all about priorities. “

We both remain staunch in our opposing views. However only one view is corroborated by reality.
And it is not yours...

What a shocking week. This is becoming, if it were possible, even more bogged down in a communication vacuum.
RNS stating Swedish share ownership has risen by a tiny amount. Pointless RNS. Not quite 68% eh, Maddog?
Further handout in Finland resulted in SP on both markets falling, which shows investors regard Finland as a sideshow.
Kosovo? Don’t get me started.
To suggest the granting of the licence is dependent on BEM selling to LKAB is fanciful / illegal.
Either get rid to LKAB at a sensible premium, or wait indefinitely are the only options. If the swedes were to document such a fanciful idea, that should have Kurt heading for the nearest court.
What little remains of the mining application process would evaporate. Remember the law? It’s there to protect BOTH parties.
I am no longer confident that Kurt is doing what is required to wrestle the concession from the Swede’s grip. There has been no evidence of such activity for over a year now. Too passive. He is playing into the Swede’s hands.
Maybe Theresa May is his role model.

In the absence of a concession, there are no options. The concession is all.
In my opinion, it is only interest from LKAB which is permissible to the government.

Of course, none of us can know what conversations Kurt is having.
However, his last stated strategy was to wait and see, 9 months ago.
Given the sixth anniversary is upon us, and the final piece of the jigsaw is all the company has to deal with, I can come to no other conclusion but that, as CEO, Kurt is not achieving what is required of his role.
Whether anyone else could achieve more, I am not sure, but he is in charge, so he must change strategy or face an indefinite wait.
To the Swedes, the passing of time is just fine and dandy.

Tintin’s comment was pointless, inaccurate and irrelevant as are most of his posts.
I maybe should also add misleading...

Ha Ha!
One of my heroes is Lord Reith, whose mission when setting up the BBC was to inform , educate and entertain.
I try to follow his example by bringing some balance and the occasional smile on this board.
Sadly, most of the few remaining long termers are now battle hardened, dour individuals, who, at least publicly repeat the curiously unbelievable mantra of the concession is about to be awarded, without a hint of evidence to support that view.
6 years next month. 2 years since Suzy2 accepted a bet that the concession would be awarded by May 2017 - ha ha.
Tintin constantly posts rubbish about it being awarded this month. It is all hogwash. The pattern is established, fixed and not about to change, unless LKAB are brought to the table, for the only way to avoid the indefinite delays continuing ad infinitude.
Saying nothing is always an option, Manro. But that would leave an echo chamber for the rosy tints. That would be unforgivable.
I exclude Eric Draven, by the way, who is an admirable gent, who I waist nothing but the best.

Kurt is a miner. He enjoys digging big holes and shipping product for profit.
He has not been able to do that for well over four years now.
He is not in his comfort zone.
He is not a politician.
This is doing his CV no favours.
Whilst he may be no pushover, I have only seen evidence is soft skills to date. Getting chummy with local politicians and stakeholders is not fundamental to extracting a positive government decision and a concession.
Where is the Swedish advisory board?
It is 9 months since Kurt disappointingly, and very publicly conceded that the election would delay the decision. 6 months after the election, I see no evidence of urgency from him.
It is not over with already because it suits the Swedes to do nothing. Decisions can be challenged. Indecision can not.
ATB.

Kurt is clearly stymied completely by the politics of this unfortunate situation.
the Kallaks represent a very substantial prize for someone in the future. Sweden is also completely stymied by it’s own politically correct myopia, and fear of creating conflict. You only need to view the country’s pitifully supine reaction to being swamped by immigrants who are too large in number to ever integrate with the indigenous population, even if they wished to, which, largely, they do not.
In order to break the log jam, initiated by the inflated power of the Sami parliament and people, backed up by the CAB and the heritage and environment agencies - all headed up by greens still , in the new government, the government must engineer a situation which, outwardly shows LKAB to be the owners of the Kallaks.
Behind the scenes, Kurt must be seen to be willing to sell to LKAB in return for a sensible premium. He must decide whether this is his best / only option, or whether he can continue to dilute indefinitely and hope for revenue via Finland or Kosovo.
Personally, I would get rid of Kallak to the state at an acceptable premium, and as quickly as possible.
Otherwise, I don’t believe progress is possible.

Delt is not to blame for other’s misfortunes. Nor was/is he alone in his pronouncements on projected values.
I remember Delt’s calculations being gobbled up as perfectly reasonable, and, by some, as quite conservative.
Exactly the same wishful thinking which certain long termers bat back and forth today.
As googlebot says, anyone’s perfectly valid stabs at potential value are null and void in the absence of a concession.
You should all, by now, know my view on the likelihood of the concession ever being granted to BEM under current circumstances.

Cut and paste waffle.

Stop flirting and answer the question re Per Ahl...

I would consider myself certifiable if I bought shares now.

Per Ahl has had the month he stated he would allow the government to put themselves in a position to make a decision.
So what do you imagine Per’s next move will be?

You need not ask the question after all these years, surely?
A realist and a pragmatist, Suzy.

It would appear Kurt has joined the wishful thinkers.
Same old script....77 million sek etc etc etc...new government.....blah blah blah
Government isn’t listening or saying anything still...
WOW??? You said again a month ago this was the real McCoy ed44, and you were wrong again.
