Maybe more than just our BoD would be unhappy with the current highest offer if it is too far below fair value.

Just a thought: if there were collusion between two buyers and suspected rigged offers, the Russian state would be just as unhappy as CS. Rigged offers do seem unlikely, I will admit but we all know how conspiracy theories abound in this world!

Perhaps the final step of suspension of the shares will add weight and even increase the amount of damages that LOGP can claim. Possibly the advice from Ashurst was to delay formal action until 19th March, thus putting the final nail in ER's coffin.

I had nine on the trot yesterday but overall a thinning out is becoming noticeable.

I chuckle when I see the gradually diminishing expanse of impotent green boxes. All that persistance, all that effort, all that precious time devoted to raising a knowing smile (or laugh) from LTH!

Do you think that is relevant to LOGP, beardozer?

Swizz, thanks for that. Delisted companies retain all their rights as a legal entity. I am happy to know that LOGP can and will pursue their case under ECT, with or without LG. We do not want to be beholden to him and he needs to know a waiting game will not work. It seems then that no acceptable common ground exists for a deal as yet. We will know by the 19th of March after which LG and LOGP will go their separate ways, if no agreement. That is how I see it.

There are at least three good reasons, therefore, why the ECT will not allow frivolous, time-wasting appeals. The case is clear-cut in the extreme. It is more than 6 weeks since we had an RNS from Boldy. Why is this, I wonder? Is LG giving him a hard time?

I'm a sucker and will see the light when Putin's world view prevails after a splendid win in Ukraine. Tim with his sharp mind and incisive intelligence was just a bit quicker off the mark in grasping these realities. He isn't exactly calling me a pitiful fool - Western media are so subtle but Tim is certainly no fool! That is why he is a Trump supporter as well as a supporter of Putin. 'Bye, Tim. (I am assuming your remarks were not meant to be a joke)

Thanks, JiffyBag. The Tims, Pompals, Mizmans,Dattabases of this world probably didn’t even watch those videos in case they would be contaminated - with the truth. Dattabase in particular lived in Russia for five years, so he knows the truth and doesn’t need to watch lying propaganda like that. Nothing leaves him speechless, not even old ladies with flowers being manhandled in the snow if he did watch or just heard about it. I’ve changed my mind about rightwing Israelis, it is time your closed minds rejected Putin and all he stands for.

That’s just it, Seamus. Dattabase etc and Putin cannot move on. They cannot accept that Russia lost the Cold War - Hitler’s revanchism is mirrored in Putin”s view of the world. The British had the good sense in the end to divest themselves of empire as gracefully as possible with remarkably few massacres/disasters and not look back to past glory. Putin has said quite frankly that he was bewildered by the sudden catastrophic implosion of the Soviet Union - here he is flailing about with a very large chip on his shoulder and a real danger to world peace. In 20 years he has done little or nothing to prepare Russia for a different future, either economically, politically or socially. His brand of Neoconservatism under the headings of Civilisation and Conservatism is definitely not to be preferred to the American equivalent.

I unbinned you just as promised. You are either an uninformed victim of propaganda or a shameless liar. Nothing worse than a permanent green bin awaits you, however. Goodbye,

Dattabase.

Absolutely superb summing up of oligarch-led Russia by one of our better-informed commentators:-

The Russian Federation is a crime syndicate with a country attached.

As far as language status goes it is nice to update the all too credulous Dattabase and leave him speechless.

Pompal and his pals will say Stalin did no such thing. No human being could do such a thing as take all the grain away Ukraine and starve millions to death. They would be right in one sense of course. Does Tim see much difference between him and Putin? Certainly their battlefield tactics are absolutely identical.

Russian President Vladimir Putin says Russian speakers in Ukraine are under attack, and he claims this invasion is to protect them. NPR's Eleanor Beardsley traveled across the country before the war to see whether that's true.

JUST TO PUT THE RECORD STRAIGHT for ill-informed Putin admirers:

ELEANOR BEARDSLEY, BYLINE: Oh, so you have three floors.

ANDRIY KONONENKO: Three floors. Come follow me.

BEARDSLEY: Andriy Kononenko opened his language school in Kyiv in 2001. Today he has branches across Ukraine. He says students come from around the world to study mostly Russian.

KONONENKO: Europe, U.S., Great Britain - also, we get quite a bit of people from Asia sometimes.

BEARDSLEY: OK. When I looked you up - I looked on the site. It said, come and learn Russian in Odesa and Kyiv. And I was thinking, oh, that's funny because Putin said there's a genocide against Russian speakers. So...

KONONENKO: Yeah (laughter). That's a big hoax. There's nothing of that going on. Kyiv is - by far and large is a Russian-speaking place.

BEARDSLEY: Kononenko says Ukrainian was suppressed during Soviet times, but since Russia launched a separatist war in the East eight years ago, it's enjoyed a resurgence. Ukraine's Parliament has made Ukrainian the country's official language, but the law does not prohibit the use of Russian, which the vast majority of the country speaks fluently. Russian is President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's mother tongue. Polls taken before the invasion show the law had majority support, even in the east of the country, which traditionally has been closer to Russia.

What would have happened if Ukraine had given a guarantee never to join NATO in December 2021? This is a question for all those who support Putin. I will unlock the green prison tomorrow for half an hour to see if there are any thoughtful replies that make sense.

Well, you do show yourself up with evasive replies like that. Navalny’s mother arrived at the prison this morning to see her son’s body. She was kept waiting for 2 hours, only then to be told that his body was not there. Tests had to be carried out to establish the cause of death.

Do you know if Lira’s relatives were treated like this? Could you explain where you learnt that Lira was tortured?

Just as I am sure Tim has every sympathy for an old lady seen being led away by the police after laying flowers at a memorial. These people, unprompted by Western agents or media, do the right thing at personal cost, we must all agree.

Lira was under house arrest for good reasons in Kharkiv. He denied Russian atrocities in the same forthright manner as those who stood on the railtracks outside Ausschwitz denying the Holocaust ever happened. He was almost unbelievably misogynist in his outlook, by the way.

He thought that Putin was the greatest but he would be alive today in all probability if he hadn’t tried to do a runner. Did Navalny do a runner? Even Tim has more respect for a man like Navalny, I would hope.

Right you are, James. Pompal and assorted crackpots (sickopaths and keyboards go hand in hand in chat rooms nowadays whereas it used to be pen and paper refused nothing) are lucky we just use green bin liners here to eliminate them - as I am doing right now.
