Kenny,

Process them faster... but no, the CONservatives have even said that it is policy not slow down processing asylum seekers as it makes the wait acts as deterrent to other potential seekers.

And - let them work; there are even qualified Doctors who are being paid £50 a week not to work who would prefer to be working.

The CONservatives want to push "hordes" of immigrants into voters faces to make them angry and to have something to campaign on... It is hardly as though they can campaign on their financial success over the last 13 years.

What Far-Right would not care to mention is the failure of the Swedish state to assimilate the refugees into Swedish society or the institutional rac!sm that means immigrants are far more likely to be targetted, prosecuted and convicted.

People who stoke xenophobia for their own political and financial gain are feeding a nasty beast (and not only do they know it, but they like it as it makes them more 'popular'):

"Amir Weitmann, the founder and chairman of the libertarian caucus in Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party, said “Russia will pay the price” after Israel defeats Hamas. “Russia will pay the price?” British RT host Rory Suchet asked incredulously. “Russia is supporting the enemies of Israel,” Weitmann raged. “Russia is supporting Nazi people who want to commit genocide on us.” He went on to add: “We’re not forgetting what you are doing. We’re not forgetting. We will come. We will make sure that Ukraine wins. We will make sure that you pay the price for what you have done.”

There are a few Graphite tiddler explorers on the market; what happens when there is likely to be a cheaper way to produce Graphite in a lab?

Who would want to fund a mine?

"Key Takeaways

Virginia Tech researchers develop a greener, cost-effective method for producing graphene using coal instead of graphite.

The new process significantly reduces the number of hazardous chemicals involved, lowering both environmental impact and production costs.

This breakthrough could reinvigorate the coal industry while ensuring a more sustainable supply chain for graphene.

The coal-derived graphene has shown superior performance in applications ranging from sensors to reinforced polymers.

By lowering the cost of graphene production, the research opens the door for its broader commercial use and potential to improve lives globally."

PM,

"Just to remind everyone to remember Stella knows about Mergers and Acquisitions"

Is that the same Stella that had a Ratner moment a while ago and said that VAL were then uninvestable and who has yet to invest?

100% correct - I made the site with AI using 60sec.site... it generates the site within 60 seconds. Just shows how little effort is required.

This was in the news this week: "Google-hosted malvertising leads to fake Keepass site that looks genuine"

https://arstechnica.com/security/2023/10/google-hosted-malvertising-leads-to-fake-keepass-site-that-looks-genuine/

This is crazy:

Generate from a prompt asking to make a site to promote penny share listed on AIM to gamblers who care little about risk and who would be enticed to buy more if the price of the shares being promoted went up. The AI even invested the name!

All miners are being marked down to fire sale prices as the market ponders on the effects of dwindling Chinese demand... But, the growing demand for Copper is still going to be unmet. Any large polymetalic deposit in a stable western country should be high on the list for consideration. Ideally, a deposit that has identified sufficient precious metals to exploit to recover the capital costs of the mine in under 2 years.

Negative interest rates? Well, it is not as though the 5000-year low rates we have recently had caused any problems.

Oh wait, what about the inflation that has set in that has caused damage to the bond markets and commercial property and encouraged over-leveraging? And those banks sitting on massive Mark-to-Market losses?

121,

"i abstain from voting !!"

The CONservatives will be delighted; they have been happy to undermine trust in GOV during their 13 years in office and are partly relying on some people giving up and not voting instead of voting them out. If you cannot support any candidate, consider spoiling your vote to show your displeasure at the existing options and encourage the emergence of new parties to fill the void.

$unak has gone to Israel as part of a 2 day trip. Will he draw the UK into the growing conflict to paint himself as pro Israeli and to try to smear Starmer as anti? How low does he go to try and pick up political points from the gutter?

And, rather convenient timing to have to go away for 2 days when there are new MP elections in Tamworth & Mid Bedfordshire. I smell opportunism not leadership.

Tamworth: 1/3 Labour; 3/1 CONservatives

Mid Bedfordshire EV CONservative; 2/1 Labour; 5/1 Lib Dems

Caspard,

Your comment about the discount to NAV is more pertinent than most realise. MAFL's NAV has always been calculated prudently and is underpinned by assets and cash, not goodwill and other intangibles. In an era of high interest rates the lack of debt should also be something to celebrate.

I understand why some are upset with the recent ups and downs in the share price but they the downs offer an opportunity to buy and the ups an opportunity to sell. I have been quite open about buying and selling a trading pot in the past; I might have bought and sold early at times but have picked up enough profit every now and then to not get upset by the inevitable swings.

Timmit,

Excellent news... it should cheer up a few who have been rather unhappy recently. Maybe JV will see fit to make an announcement or do an interview with Proactive.

I read that the highly effective Seal Team 6 were due to deploy... Not people to mess with but people who do not have a good reputation.

Mick,

They will be 'steaming ahead with Hydrogen' as should the UK but they should not be planning on using it for heating homes... that idea is a scam perpetuated by the existing gas industry that wants to see the life of their pipelines extended, the life of the boiler makers kept alive and, gas extraction kept buoyant by the creation of a market for 'blue' hydrogen.

Twitter thread if you are looking for how the low carbon heating industry in likely to develop:

https://twitter.com/janrosenow/status/1714518630661067170

Dr Rosenow is one of the most knowledgeable Hydrogen voices on Twitter.

Quote from the report released this morning:

'The Commission’s analysis demonstrates that there is no public policy case for hydrogen to be used to heat individual buildings. It should be ruled out as an option to enable an exclusive focus on switching to electrified heat.'

https://nic.org.uk/app/uploads/Final-NIA-2-Full-Document.pdf

This is important... people are trying to promote companies involved in the potential supply of Hydrogen to consumers (and ramp shares on tenuous links to the manufacture, storage and supply of hydrogen to consumers). Hydrogen should play a part in some heavy industries such as steel smelting and be used to make ammonia to power large ships, but it will not be used to power existing gas boilers.
