Zero Hedge does not have a high reputation:

'Analysis / Bias
A quote from the above New Yorker article summarizes the blog’s political stance, which Lokey told Bloomberg is: “Russia=good. Obama=idiot. Bashar al-Assad=benevolent leader. John Kerry= dunce. Vladimir Putin=greatest leader in the history of statecraft.”

ZeroHedge’s content has been classified as “alt-right” and has been criticized for presenting conspiracy theories.'

'On fire today'

When you look at the chart over the last few years and see all the RED that must have been required to drive the share price down by over 98%, is it the train that is on fire? The SS Express?

I got my flu vaccine yesterday; free as I am over 50. With the NHS wanting to vaccinated between 35 and 40 million I would recommend badgering your GP / local pharmacies. My GP said maybe December; the pharmacy that fills any prescription I get said only over 65 until some time in the future.

Another local pharmacist put me on a waiting list and I got vaccinated yesterday when they got new stock. With so many needing to be vaccinated the roll out will be haphazard. If there is a bad flu season then the NHS may end up under significant pressure yet again...

'This is sportswashing pure and simple'

Campaign group Fair Game, which has called for the reform of football, has claimed Newcastle's new owners "are not fit and proper" and that the club's "proud" history has been "hijacked".

Fair Game's director of advocacy Mike Baker said: "This is sportswashing pure and simple.

"Our line is simple. If you have conducted any activity in the last 10 years that would have broken the law in the UK then you are not fit and proper to be an owner of a football club.

"Newcastle United has a long, proud history. Today that history has been hijacked by a country with a serious international image problem. A nation that executes journalists and treats women horrendously.

"If the Premier League believes that the Saudi Government is fit and proper, then frankly they have just made the case for an independent regulator even stronger."

thanglan,

When you make a donation using that link there is a message stating:

'JustGiving won't be charging a platform fee to the charity. Adding a small contribution on top of your donation means we can continue to help more people.'

From the Drop Down menu select Other and then set the amount contributed to Zero; Just Taking then get paid nothing for providing the service. I understand your disgust at people taking a cut off charity donations but it is misplaced with any donation made using the link if you adjust the contribution to Zero.

It might be good for a trade but a coal mine reliant on funding from the Chinese for the mine or the purchasing power station is a poor investment when the Chinese have said no more money for foreign coal mines or power stations. And that is before you consider the wisdom of Bangladesh tying their future to coal when they are so at risk from rising sea levels.

'In an interview with the BBC, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger said that the company is no longer considering the UK as a site for a chip fab, due to Brexit, something the company had apparently done prior to Brexit. Now the company is looking for a location in another EU country for a US$95 billion investment for a new semiconductor plant, as well as upgrades to its current plants in Ireland.'

Troajan,

'The latest cap was announced on 6th August, with Ofgem raising the level by 12% to £1277 for the average bill' - those prices were set long before the latest hike in prices so the February increase is going to hurt some folks real hard.

MacMillan are a great cause; I found some much needed guidance from their community whilst I was caring for my father in his last months as he succumbed to oesophageal cancer.
