Musk is crowd sourcing moderation of Twitter

https://help.twitter.com/en/using-twitter/birdwatch

US geofencing at the moment.

Epro,

No need to worry about Lula; the Tories will be out of office soon enough.

lti,

Plenty bad debt building up for the banks to deal with, partly as a consequence of Brexit. The shadow of Brexit is going to linger over banks longer than you want.

I thought they put a bigger pump on the gusher recently to try and get more than a dribble out?

I thought you found these Brexit threads boring but they trigger you - why? Are you that concerned with an anonymous person on the internet pointing out that it is making the nation poorer?

The CONservatives can change their mind on their leader but the public cannot change their mind? The whole idea of democracy is being able to implement the choices of the majority, not preventing them from changing their minds after they discover what they got is not what they want.

You and others who post on this board are terrified that the public will eventually be allowed to change their minds.

lti,

You fell for their nonsense... time to stop sipping the koolaid and admit that Brexit was never a brilliant choice. Putting up trade barriers with your closest customers just reduces the national wealth.

lti,

Precisely - why do you still pretend anything the Brexiteers promised was true?

["anyone who continues with this nonsense must be near brain dead"]

You seem to get triggered by being reminded they lied to you... And, if you believe what GOV announce, you must really like the '50 new hospitals' Doris promised; or the fracking revolution that the Lizard Queen promised.

So they only filed for the patent as opposed to have obtained the patent. Massive difference...!

A bit careless with the RNS this morning.

So much for the £350m a week that Doris teased; from the FT: "Britons now have the worst access to healthcare in Europe, and it shows"

That 'musky' smell might be mould as rot sets in at Twitter - from the FT

"As Musk embarks on the dramatic cost-cutting cull, he claimed on Friday that Twitter “has had a massive drop in revenue, due to activist groups pressuring advertisers, even though nothing has changed with content moderation and we did everything we could to appease the activists”."

As Troajan posted, how many BILLION for a chat room?

Visualisation of all of 2021's mined minerals; at 93%, iron ore is a bigger proportion than I would have guessed:

Now even experts are calling UKOG 'trash'; maybe deramping to get a cheaper average?

Still too hot - more interest rises to come?

Another crypto bubble about to burst?

As an expert, you should know where you can find help.

Not yet significant from a turnover perspective, but noteworthy nonetheless. Too many people live in coastal or estuary areas that will need defending from rising sea levels, so a green, concrete solution for an 'expanding' market can only be a good thing.

Select 2 m on the map below and see how most of The Netherlands disappears; parts of the East of the UK are also inundated:

evi,

Remember, rich people do not pay tax a fair rate of tax. If they did, there would be little need for austerity or high taxes on workers.

It rains diamonds on Neptune; maybe rent a rocket and go collect some?

Trek,

No doubt that will add to the disorderly queue to exit at other funds, which adds to the pool of distressed assets which means even deeper haircuts for those who have to sell assets. The zombies have been cut off from cheap cash and will starve over the next 2 years. There are some estimates that 20% of all UK companies will go bust.

A good thing to some extent as the nations capitol will be better invested in due course. But terrible if you work for one of those companies, or own one of them / shares in one of them.

And banks have been looking profitable and needing to have windfall taxes imposed. But are they taking full stock of the bad debt that will be developing on their balance sheets? Or the mortgage debts that will be going sour as people lose jobs and are unable to afford higher interest rate payments. And then a stagnating housing market reduces work for builders, handymen, estate agents, moving companies lawyers etc.

No wonder the BOE says it will be the longest recession in decades. Domestic tourism should be good though...
