Israel are worried that Hezbollah and other bad actors get their hands on Assad's chemical weapons. They will act if they feel the need...

TrollHunter2 gives the game away; UKOG is going to use the money to start the process [i.e. enable] of acquiring a salt cavern. So once the paperwork is sorted, they can ask shareholders [?devotees?] for more money to progress the process [and, of course, for general working capital].

Trebles all round; all praise The Dear Leader.

I was going to pick a choice quote from when this was a penny share (before consolidation, so equivalent to 10p) but there were too many to chose from:

The share price is only down 99.7575% since then.

Q: Nigel Farage MP The Conservative Party lied to us about immigration for 14 years. They have no credibility and will never be forgiven.

'This flies from here'

I read 'the flies are here' and thought that the phrase made sense as this share has been a steaming pile of bovine scat for years.

But The Dear Leader will be thanking his devotees for their tithes.

You missed a zero... RBD is 0.0525. I remember when S&S were talking the BIG talk and it was a penny share. At least some made money out of the share as they paid themselves as if they were running a bigger Oiler.

Just to the US [so far] but do not be surprised if a "free trade" deal with the US means imposing their tariff levels on China as part of the deal.

Dec 3 (Reuters) - China on Tuesday banned exports to the United States of the critical minerals gallium, germanium and antimony that have widespread military applications, escalating trade tensions the day after Washington's latest crackdown on China's chip sector.

The curbs strengthen enforcement of existing limits on critical minerals exports that Beijing began rolling out last year, but apply only to the U.S. market, in the latest escalation of trade tensions between the world's two largest economies ahead of President-elect Donald Trump taking office next month.

A Chinese Commerce Ministry directive on dual-use items with both military and civilian applications cited national security concerns. The order, which takes immediate effect, also requires stricter review of end-usage for graphite items shipped to the U.S.

"Reeves budget disaster!"

Trek - what services did you want cut or what taxes do you want raised instead? The Tories were hiding the state of the economy and put through NI cuts that could not be afforded - surely you know that? Any incoming GOV was going to have to make unpalatable choices.

And there will be more unpleasant surprises waiting as defence spending has to increase [which will include the nationalising of British Steel as we cannot have no ability to make our own steel, can we?].

Populists will want all overseas aid cut without considering the implications to our own security, effects on migration or the knock on effects on our biggest export sector [services] so I doubt that is a good long term idea...
