'Trafigura warns the world is running low on copper'

A tax rate that high is no good for bank share prices... Sunak will be good for most sectors but banks?

2 'expert' posts:

30 Aug 2022 12:25 "I heard the city & professionals use barchart.com. Barchart looks like it’s slowly forming a parabola."
22 Oct 2022 10:24 "JustBe professionals do not use barchart.com… give up"

I wonder what so-called 'expert' would have made both of those posts? Do people call themselves an expert in the hope that their credibility is boosted? Do 'experts' get upset when they are exposed as charlatans?

'The prospect of yet another Conservative prime minister chosen without a general election ignores not only the UK’s growing democratic deficit but also the lack of competence displayed by its woeful government.
...
The British people, not MPs or the 170,000 members of the Conservative party, must now choose their political future.'

Great blog post from David Allen Green - worth subscribing to, even if only to read the comments on his articles:

No matter how you feel about Blair he did not resign in disgrace [even if he should have]; Boris returning just prolongs division in the country. It would be a farce.

All of these allowances / pensions / armed police protection should be means tested. An ex-PM earning millions should not be protected on the public purse. So Boris & Blair can go 'russia_warship' themselves. And, as it affects both Labour and CONservative PMs, there should not be too many complaints from either side of the House.

Doris was born in the US - please take him back.

"but it hasn't been green drivel."

The chart has been more like a red dribble as the share price has slowly bled out.

It was an act of economic vandalism and has been weaponised by the winners to make any suggestion of a reversal be equated as a treasonous act by enough of the voting population to make the act of self harm stick for far longer than it should.

It seems Putin is going to do something crazy soon; will his Generals stop him?

Lettuce prey for a general election

Can get Doris get more than 99 votes? Will the men in grey suits shut everybody other than the preferred one. Then the members can go 'russia warship'.

PHC tweet [translated by Google]

"Plant Health Care obtains the UNE 142500 certification “Inputs usable in organic plant production. Fertilizers, amendments and culture substrates” for the biostimulant ProAct®aa. This certification is very strict and represents an "extra" confidence for the producer"

https://twitter.com/PlantHealthC/status/1583122648254410752

The company could be a little more proactive in publicising successes... Being certified as an input for organic farming is good news and worth more than a tweet?

He has ambitions of being the next NATO commander [but might be relegated to NAFO on Twitter instead, as who would want a Brit tarnished by the current intake?].

BlueGlow,

And then Parliament tells Boris to 'russia warship' and a general election is called and Labour win and go into coalition with the SNP on the grounds of no 2nd referendum and rejoining the single market.

Some would say it would never happen; some would say The Lizard Woman would never have got into power nor lost it after less than 2 months after getting into power.

The lettuce is now live-streaming its party
