Fidelity have requested I notify them by the 15th should I want paper certs. Until now I had decided to leave in my ISA with Fidelity. Am totally confused in what to do, lots of opposing opinions in this board.
Big blue your key board is now solely responsible for global warming. Give it a rest.

Germany’s former chancellor Gerhard Schröder has said after he visited Russian president Vladimir Putin in Moscow last week that the Kremlin is open to talks to end the war in Ukraine.
“The good news is that the Kremlin wants a negotiated solution,” Schröder said in an interview with the German magazine Stern.
Schröder has been harshly criticised in recent months over his refusal to distance himself from Putin, a close friend, despite Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine, and over his continuing links to Russian energy companies that are closely controlled by the Kremlin.
In a recent interview he defended the president over alleged Russian atrocities in Ukrainian towns such as Bucha, saying he did not think those orders would have come from the Kremlin.
Speaking to Stern he refused again to renounce his friendship with Putin. “I have condemned the war many times, you know that. But would it really help anyone if I were to personally distance myself from Vladimir Putin?” he asked.
Schröder added that remaining in touch with the Russian leader meant he could “still be useful”. He said he had received many letters from within Germany saying: “It’s a good thing there’s still someone keeping the channels of communication with Russia open in the current conflict.”
The Social Democrats are trying to kick the former chancellor out of the party, while in May he finally stepped down as chair of Rosneft, the state-owned Russian oil company, after weeks of pressure.
Schröder said the Kremlin was ready to negotiate an end to the war, pointing to the success of talks to restart Ukrainian grain exports via the Black Sea. “Perhaps one could gradually expand that into a ceasefire,” he said.
But the kind of settlement he said was possible reflected many of the Kremlin’s key preoccupations.

Ukraine needs more western support and smarter economic policies to win the war
He said it would be a “big mistake” to dismiss possible concessions by Ukraine in advance as a “dictated peace”. The problems could be solved, he said, through a compromise for the eastern region of Donbas — based on a “Swiss canton model” — as well as “armed neutrality” for Ukraine as an alternative to Nato membership.
He also said Kyiv should surrender its claim to Crimea, which Russia annexed in 2014. “The idea that the Ukrainian president [Volodymyr] Zelenskyy will reconquer Crimea militarily is just absurd,” he said.
Schröder also said Germany could avoid an energy crunch this winter by bringing the now-

People will only put up with this for so long. Now it’s summer it’s bearable, shorter days and lower temperatures will test the best of people.
If we 500p I’d be tempted to sell.
Big blue please take a day off. You need it.
Finally a glimmer of hope!
Just to add prices and food shortages are effecting everyone including Indonesia. They import a large amount of their staple foods. They as well as much of the world need this war to end!
It just proves how desperately they want this war to continue.

Can’t believe G7 are still discussing yet more sanctions. Some genuine effort in a peace deal should be prioritised.
I agree. We cannot go on like this a peace deal needs to be reached at whatever cost. Some may disagree but this is the consequence of backing Russia into a corner.
Russia warned the threat to their land will mean taking action. They did. Applying more sanctions is not the way forward either, it will not end this soon.

Thank you for posting these links. Before the war started I was of the view that US should not push for Nato expansion and though I can never support war or violence I could see why Putin felt he was being pushed into a corner.
Over the last few months this view or information seemed to have faded, the repeated bombardment of western media rhetoric that Putin has imperial views and wants to conquer etc etc became so easy to believe.
America has a lot to answer for.
I bought 5000 more yesterday taking my holding to around 37000 shares. Keep telling myself BE patient!
Would be great if they just paid a divi in August.
Multiple posts on POG stating sold out at 2.68p…glad I got out blah blah blah.
