It takes a real "responsible leader" to allow China to become the world leader in solar and batteries... keep up your pro China gaslighting.

'The researchers found that, on average, a liter of bottled water included about 240,000 tiny pieces of plastic'

And more worryingly, they are now finding that microplastic does translocate across biological barriers and accumulate in testes, brain, heart muscle etc. Even babies are being born with microplastics absorbed from their mothers through placental transfer and fetal exposure.

Mannnan,

Forasmuch as it hath pleased the forces of the market, in their inscrutable wisdom, to take unto themselves the listing of our dear shares here departed, we therefore commit their presence to the private sphere; liquidity to liquidity, valuation to valuation, transparency to opacity; in uncertain and fleeting hope of their resurrection in some future market, through the mechanisms of private equity or strategic reinvention; which shall transform these undervalued entities, that they may be like unto their glorious potential, according to the workings of capital and opportunity, whereby all things are subdued to the forces of commerce.

Billionaire’s South African Phosphate Mine Faces Legal Challenge

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-17/billionaire-s-south-african-phosphate-mine-faces-legal-challenge

The World Wildlife Fund is suing South Africa’s Environment Minister Dion George over his decision in September to dismiss appeals against an offset exemption given to Elandsfontein Mine.

Kropz Plc, which is 90% held by African Rainbow and is the owner of the Elandsfontein Mine, was also named as a respondent in the lawsuit.

Under the offset proposal, which was invalidated by the provincial office of the ministry in 2021, Kropz would have bought and donated more than 20,000 acres of land to the West Coast National Park...

PM,

At least you do not need to worry about a 'fast declining investment' - VAL is so far down already that there is little left to go.

But kudos to your successful reverse ramp all the way down from 50p; it takes a rare talent to promote a stock all the way down as it loses 99% of its share price.

Move on from the past. We know the strategy here with the new board and a brilliant CEO. It's a new company and it is because of the past we have been so undervalued but the market will take a new birth when the first deal arrives.

We have everything to look forward to here. I can honestly see 74p hitting this week if a deal does not arrive this week but if it does then we almost certainly break the 100p mark. Great times.

'u.s. officials said the bombardment, the most significant military action of mr. trump’s second term, was also meant to send a warning signal to iran. mr. trump wants to broker a deal with iran to prevent it from acquiring a nuclear weapon, but has left open the possibility of military action if the iranians rebuff negotiations.

u.s. officials said that airstrikes against the houthis’ ****nal, much of which is buried deep underground, could last for several days, intensifying in scope and scale depending on the militants’ reaction.'

I used Perplexity to summarise the pros and cons of the potential change; the link at the end of the post has links to the sources Perplexity used [Perplexity is a great tool for question like yours]:

Supermarket Income REIT's potential shift from a REIT structure to a standard listed company involves trading tax advantages for operational flexibility. Here's a concise breakdown:

Key Trade-off

REITs enjoy tax-exempt status on property rental profits provided they distribute 90% of taxable income as dividends. Abandoning REIT status would eliminate this requirement but subject the company to standard corporate taxes.

Pros of Losing REIT Status

Retained Earnings Flexibility: No obligation to distribute 90% of profits, freeing capital for reinvestment (e.g., property acquisitions, debt reduction) or strategic reserves.

Simplified Compliance: Avoid REIT-specific rules, such as maintaining a minimum of three properties (or one £20M+ commercial property post-2023) and restrictions on being a "close company".

Operational Control: Greater discretion over profit allocation without shareholder distribution mandates.

Cons of Losing REIT Status

Corporate Tax Liability: Profits become subject to corporation tax (~19%-25% in the UK), reducing funds available for dividends or growth.

Investor Disruption: REITs attract income-focused investors with high dividends; reduced payouts could lead to shareholder dissatisfaction and share price volatility.

Tax Implications for Shareholders: REIT dividends (taxed as ordinary income) might shift to qualified dividends (lower rates), but overall returns could diminish due to corporate taxation.

Strategic Considerations

The move hinges on whether retained earnings could generate higher post-tax returns than the current tax-efficient model. While flexibility appeals to growth-oriented strategies, the loss of tax benefits and investor appeal poses risks. For example, reinvesting 100% of profits post-tax might still yield less than distributing 90% tax-free under the REIT structure.

Trump at the DOJ: "I believe that CNN and MSNDC, who literally write 97.6% bad about me, are political arms of the Democrat Party. And in my opinion, they are really corrupt and they are illegal. What they do is illegal."

And that money was spent with local farmers... so he robbed the farmers to starve the poor. Some call them Christofacists, but quite where Christianity comes into taking food from poor children confuses me.
