C4 says no proof

Dead people on Voters Role = proof of fraud according to Team Trump.

Maths say about 6000 registered voters die every day in the US; but who cares about facts...

Where are the block trades on Turquoise declared for ordinary punters to see? Might explain why the volumes reported are meaningless?

And it is not up according to Bloomberg

Interesting read: "Pathogens can make us sick. Just how sick depends on genetic variations, including ones that sabotage immune molecules called interferons. A better understanding could lead to new treatments for Covid-19 and other scourges."

No sugar coating the dislike?

He does not like Piers Moron; I cannot fault that.

A Q&A session with an economic historian [Harold James]:

https://knowablemagazine.org/article/society/2020/will-covid-19-end-globalization

2 paragraphs I found interesting:

"I’ll be watching the move away from big cities and the application of technology to education and to medicine. If people are paying less for these essential services, they’ll have more disposable income and new opportunities, and you could get something like the plague effect — increased purchasing power that makes people feel better off."

"The 2008 crisis was a powerful driver of nationalism and populism. But most populist governments haven’t done well in handling the Covid crisis. Some elements of the populist mélange are mistrust of experts, making hasty gut decisions and jumping from one thing to another thing. Their policies are usually inconsistent. Competent governments like Germany’s, on the other hand, have handled this crisis quite well, which makes populist complaints about those governments look invalid.

So I think Covid will tamp down populism. The steam was going out of the movement anyway."

Farage? Disappear? Troajan, are you getting carried away on a wave of euphoria from Cannabis [stocks]?

Farage's ego seems to get inflated when a Tory leader is in trouble, and he can smell more supporters and, maybe, their money. The man seems to love attention so do not expect him to fade away into the darkness of Winter.

Onlyif,

No - I hope she serves 2 terms after serving 4 years as VP.

Not only would she be President but if Biden leaves after 2 years and 1 day she would still be eligible to serve 2 full terms, so she could be 'boss' for 10 years.

What will a Biden presidency mean for Britain?

Even though he was tainted by the 'Cash for access scandal', he seems to have been one of the UK's better politicians.

Soybean prices are up 30% since April and shortages in Brazil [the world’s leading producer and exporter of soybeans] have led to the Brazilian government suspending "import duties in an attempt to encourage imports and suppress rampant domestic food inflation".

This must be an incentive for the Brazilians to approve PHC279 as a rust treatment in sufficient time for next year's planting period (early November).

"Also informed investors get richer"

Not if they have been invested in UKOG for the last couple of years:

1 year chart - 87% loss
2 year chart - 92.5% loss
3 year chart - 97.15% loss

The only Vietnam vets I have met have been really decent guys who, with hindsight, regret what the country had ordered them to do [even though they did not regret having been called to act for their country]. McCain seems to have been built from the same stuff.

And soon Boris / the right-wing media / some other idiot will be telling us that we are punishing Europe by charging the tariffs.

That totally explains why they cut away as well as why I could not quite understand his Pastor when she kept repeating the word "strike".

No point in telling the world - you will end up with Zama Zamas down the mine at night nicking the gold that is visible.

I was reminded of the reference to the "White Imbecile" in a series of YouTube cat videos, such as "Henri 11 - "Oh, revoir". The short videos (most 2 minutes) are about life narrated by a philosophical cat and should make most smile.
