This will interest some as it makes the points around why a next generation vaccine is so badly needed:

From yesterdays Bloomberg Supply Lines email:

'Soaring costs of steaks, pasta and coffee have dominated headlines and pushed global food prices close to record levels. But it looks like the dubious accolade of sending the inflation gauge across the line will fall to cooking oils, those understated yet most ubiquitous of staples.

Used for everything from frying potato chips to mixing salad dressings, edible oil prices have more than doubled in the past two years on supply constraints. Palm oil hit a new all-time high this week as top shipper Indonesia limited exports to protect the domestic market, while soybean and rapeseed oil have also risen as heat and drought wilted crops and demand surged.

All this means that food prices may go up even more. A measure of global food costs calculated by the United Nations climbed near to a record in January, driven by more expensive vegetable oil and dairy prices. A further rise this month could potentially push costs beyond that to a fresh all-time high.'

Still not free speech - the coppers use dragnets at most demos to gather digital forensics.

He does not want to end up like Saddam Hussein

There used to be a hanging tree at Speakers Corner... So much for free speech.

Dictators normally only leave by dying; this all seems to be about keeping his own population quiet and himself safe.

The drums of war are beating louder

And how does that help Alba? Do they have any gold to sell?

5% up this week for me thanks mainly to PHC - makes a change from losing a bit week by week.

But war / unrest in the Ukraine is looking imminent, so we might all be in for a few red months.

'Foreign Office tells Britons in Ukraine to leave country now' - a nasty headline

4 of the top 5 risers are on that list today... it suggests that a waiting brief until the fast money leaves after getting bored.

Some interesting articles

Dick Turpin was a highway robber... maybe the equivalent of a drunken Doris putting up taxes and inflation?

As interest rates start normalising GOV will be spinning how good it is for savers [true]and first time house buyers [also true]without mentioning that it was their policy to enforce low interest rates that caused house prices to increase and savers to suffer. There will be little comment on negative equity if that happens either; just a few experts telling people to hold firm... which just adds to the reinforcement loop of overvalued properties in the South as few properties come to market.

50 million litres and virtually nobody knows where to get rid of it:

"Despite spoiling in a matter of months if stored incorrectly, 73% of UK adults have admitted to stashing away pots of unused or partially used decorating paint - 43% of which is more than three years old.

But what many may not know is paint contains hidden chemicals called polymers in liquid formulations (PLFs). These are often made from fossil sources and are important ingredients needed to help paint stick to walls. Despite containing huge quantities of these specialist ingredients created using non-renewable resources, nearly all (98%) of the UK’s waste paint is either burnt or sent to landfill."

The Dear Leader; NOT My Dear Leader.

A disgrace... And one of the reasons that they had to be killed is that they grew too large for the slaughtering pens so could not be safely handled. What is wrong with these foreigners who are not prepared to do our dirty work anymore?

An Englishman should not have to be a slaughter-man; maybe we can train a Welshman or some other 1/2 foreigner?

Some have a sense of humour:

'The constituency office of the environment secretary, George Eustice, has been bought by supporters of Insulate Britain, who have donated his rent to a legal fund for activists.

Supporters of the group, which made headlines last year by obstructing major roads and calling on the government to retrofit all British homes to make them energy efficient, formed a coalition of investors.

They acquired the property at 13 Commercial Street, Camborne, Cornwall, last October for £51,000. Since then their company, Cawton Ltd, has received £2,820 in rent from the House of Commons, which has been donated to help pay the legal costs of Insulate Britain defendants in court cases.'

There will be a wild scramble for 5p shares from traders, so get your Primary Bid account ready and funded.

It only takes 200 folks at £10k each and the Open Offer would be gone - and they say Open Offer, so no need to even have shares in the Company. Primary Bid do not take credit cards...
