'continue the progress'

I suppose you cannot 'continue the progress' without paying the directors and their expenses.

This cannot be good for CNR

boring day for news here...

Troajan,

It is what she is saying as she tries to get the top NHS job

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/jun/21/dido-harding-overseas-nhs-staff-nhs-england

What a way to perk up staff morale - does she want to drive staff into the private sector? I had thought that the relative wealth of the UK might make it more attractive to foreign health care workers [eg India] and we will badly need more experienced Doctors and Nurses to get through the hospital backlogs.

Instead, a xenophobe basically says do not bother as you will not be welcomed.

Does publishing a story about the PM's illegitimate children undermine the UK's reputation and thereby damage national security? A lawyer could argue that, and a friendly judge could agree. Under proposed legislation, the journalist could get 14 years. Rapists and murders get less.

"UK government’s little-known proposed reforms to Britain’s Official Secrets Acts pose far-reaching threats to the media and the public’s right to know. They could land journalists and others in jail for 14 years for publishing information the government claims damages national security."

But at least the GOV website does not [appear to?] have tracking software enabled.

mick-b,

I have a flick through the South African press every few days and one of the sites I have a look at is the Daily Maverick. On their home page they display odd facts, some so odd I Google them to check that they are actually true. The redhead story is from their homepage and I thought it might amuse the resident Viking.

The Daily Maverick is a good website; it hosts the Declassified UK site:

[Who would have known that Saddam Hussein authored a best-selling romance novel. "Sabibah and the King" also spawned a 20-part series.]

Producers must be rejoicing.

'Gingers have a resistance to electrical pain but a lower threshold for thermal pain. This is due to a mutation of their melanocortin 1 receptor.'

So they do not feel electric shock as much as others but feel more pain if they catch fire? Must have been a sadist who designed the tests.

Worst day I have had in months. Good thing it is only money.

A human after all; nice one.

Surely 'a Tr1 producer' is an individual or company that lodges a form TR1 with the FCA and the relevant issuer after crossing a regulated shareholding in a listed company? As in they produce and lodge the form as required by DTR 5.2?

Looks like some will have found the joys of gambling on AIM stocks that need funding... It is not as though a placing might have come as a surprise.

And, if the news is correct, the presellers made 30% profit.

Quote from a poor person in South Africa about the latest Covid surge. Not sure what is different here.

Credit Card expires end of July. The GOP still under Trump's thumb will be free to sabotage Biden, which they may well do as they want votes in the mid-term elections next year. A successful Biden does not help them... And their own political power is more important than a Great USA - that can wait.

Before the G7, the Covid infection rate was 4 in 100 000. The week after it jumped to around 400 and is now close to 1000 [1 in a hundred]. And that is in an area with high vaccination take up.

Oil, gas, geothermal, waste to energy... When will wind and nuclear be announced?

Onshore wind is getting more competitive and new nuclear power for base load production is needed?

And what about Hydrogen - Angus Energy could be about to save the world?
