You can take all money out of an ISA without paying tax, the limit is on contributions that's all.

Some "flexible" ISA products also allow you to add, withdraw and re-add within the tax year up to the overall limit (20K current year). The contributions can be made across multiple ISA products, cash, shares, innovative finance, lifetime and there maybe one more. You can only pay into any one type with one provided per year but multiple types is fine.

@M00la Getting tested to see a film then having to self isolate your family for 14 days and potentially lose your job or at least your income doesn't sound like a good night out to me, there's more chance of a false positive than an actual case at this point in the UK. People have tested positive one day and negative the next, the PCR test is magic it seems, I hope the 15 min one is better!

The virus is long gone, if it was any other year and wasn't mentioned on the news we wouldn't even know it existed.

This ends once everyone decides it does.

I doubt it's false orders - technically you can;t have a share buy without a sell, the MMs must be using their holdings in a way to keep the price in a range they desire? I'm still trying to figure out MMs, in my naivety I assumed the market was actually buying and selling shares, not someone with a vested interest in profit sitting in the middle, but their liquidity is how come buy and sell are able to be processed at all in any short order.

I love the way he plays on the language and satellite delay to prevent another question while he is giving his reply (basically a free advert for CINE) - the man cannot be stopped when he's going.

I'm not going due to masks, but I feel given the public concern (wrongly IMO) he is making the right noises, especially for the US as they are further behind the natural wave of the virus' path, also he needs to amp up the rhetoric on the safety measures to get NY and Cali open.

Ugh, I'd had a Covid free day up until just then - First day since Marched I've managed 2PM.

Do we really need to test 70milion people daily for something that has directly killed about 1600 people in 5 months? When will this madness end!

The Symposium's IT guy needs firing, it's like a really bad AI deepfake

Bloomberg Global Financial News has a channel on YouTube that's not behind a paywall - might work for an update over the next hour

@Hugh Wouldn't a strong dollar vs £ be good for CINE if most of the screens get paid in $'s, in so far as the cash registers are concerned? Not sure of the implications for the share value in £'s though as a result?

The Guardian will only award points if it features something on the oppression Olympics scale, the more oppressed the subject matter the more stars, for the sane 90% of the population this is a good score

It can happen as soon as people want it to - this was over in April, I'm really bored of shouting facts into the void since then - hopefully the general public realize that jobs, happiness, healthcare, education etc are much more important to life than hiding at home from a cold bug. Pretty sure regardless, once the furlough scheme ends Boris will only have a few choices, change the narrative to 'it's all safe we saved the UK and it went according to plan' (lies they royally screwed the pooch) or 'watch out for that second wave', at which point we will all be queuing for bread and this board will be desolate anyways.

More cases of people (in which you have to tell them they are actually ill, because they know full well they are not), is a very good thing, the average deaths being lower than 5 yr average for 7 weeks straight is amazing - but ohh noo, 'more (false) positive cases in healthy teenagers sparks fear around the world' thanks BBC.

54p x 23k

Slightly concerned about all the £1 sell mark talk, that's why I'm selling at 99p :)

In reality I have until the interest starts back up on the leverage to fund this exciting roller-coaster before I need to make a decision in the middle of next year, £1.50 would be nice.

Right now It's nice to only be stuck 3k in stead of 5, words hurt guys 'deramp this and that' when someone says something you don't personally believe, my money is on the line like everyone else's.

@salsami When did you go, that's interesting potentially positive from my POV, the new rules are from today, was it today or earlier? As was the post (and overwhelmingly negative sentiment towards) I was drawing people's attention to.

I'm not wearing a mask for any activity, I would like them to publicly state that they are not enforcing so that more people go, footfall is down for all businesses that enforce masks (or even try to imply it's a requirement for all, you cannot enforce against disabilities).

I'm a small investor that would like nothing more than for the share price and footfall to recover with 1/3 of my cash in cine and currently underwater.

Members of the public are acting as mask police causing others anxiety over going out, this should stop. All may mandate but only some try to enforce. The fact that they may not enforce or are winking at customers "but not if you eat" is great, I would have preferred a statement/advert that included the acknowledgement of exemptions is all.

I'm not sure how many people (and remember this is based on Twitter posts!) are probing their website, the tweet is below:

"UPDATE: In line with new government guidelines, all customers will be required to wear face coverings at all times whilst visiting our cinemas from tomorrow.
Face coverings can only be removed to consume food and drink."

It didn't go down well. Pull down mask, touch food, touch face, pull up mask, rinse (well you can't rinse) and repeat.

Schools might reopen once teachers pay is threatened, secondary school pupils are being advised to wear masks, and other such rubbish.

I'm extremely thankful they are opening as I'm stuck a tidy sum, just drawing attention to the lower footfall and negative sentiment all shops have received since the mask rules came into force. Grabbing a loaf of bread, people will put on a mask for 5 mins, sitting for 2 hours, I'm not so sure that's the main message their ad campaign should be focusing on.

@TP I was asking for a statement saying it wouldn't be enforced, that way there is no ambiguity as in supermarkets. No one wants a confrontation in front of a crown about a disability, the public statements were met with great thanks from the disabled community that I saw.

@In2Win Interesting to see if they update their page from today...

I was reasonably happy with my 5k loss turning around until I took a stroll to the CINE twitter announcement (stating they will fall in line with the insane mask guidance) and read down the comments.

They are being ratio'ed hard by mask skeptics (sane people).

They do say masks throughout in line with guidance unless you're eating, but the little flashing ad states "all customers must wear" which should really carry the caveat "unless exempt". They have replied to individual comments stating that exemptions are allowed (as its law it has to be one would think) but that should for part of the ad IMO.

People aren't going to book tickets and then chance going without a mask and getting turned away.

It's lose lose sadly, if people are mask fanatics they will go Karen on non-mask wearers sitting behind them, talking, whispering and sniping throughout, ruining the film for both. If you are a non-masky and this would take the shine of a trip out then why bother. Food shopping non-masked is all I'm doing, cinema isn't a necessity, it's just not worth the hassle.

The big supermarket chains almost all made public announcements stating they would not enforce and would ban staff from enforcing the guidelines - be interesting to see how busy cine are next week...

"Safer" You know no one has died in Scotland of Covid for 16 something days right?
It's over, you guys should out in the streets celebrating! Can you believe people surveyed believe 9% of the population have died from Covid in the US 225x the real amount (and those figures are as crooked as Hilary), operation fear has been quite effective!

The Germans are marching in the streets, they see this for what it is and will not accept more lockdowns and reduced freedoms, the veil has slipped and Johnson needs to resign, once the US catches up (and if they can stop from making it purely political "Trump want's your children dead... wooo covid is scary" then it's all systems go. I can't see him letting China get their economy going and keeping their under lockdown longer than necessary - also he will celebrate any reduction in numbers as some genius decision he made.

A vaccine?! They barely work and they are more dangerous for young people. We are down to single digit deaths, less people are dying on average the last 5 weeks than the previous years. Anyone under 65 needs to just go back to normal and soon before the damage is so great that young healthy people start dying from cancer, suicide etc, not 80 yr olds from the flu.

This should have opened up months ago, but I guess as I said before, no point being right if the rest of the investors aren't, just going to have to wait and see. The US cases will follow the same trajectory as the rest of the world, few more weeks is all unless operation fear is allowed to continue for no scientific reason other than to sell vaccines.

As it should, time to tear the whole thing down at that point

I'm happy they say they have cash to hold over and I'm looking forward to the recovery but Shell did say their dividend wasn't in danger and Aviva said they could afford to pay the dividend, Covid burns hurt!

I just need Doris to overstep and the whole circus to come crashing down, this business will start generating cash soon unless there really is something sinister going on, I'm still clinging onto government incompetence as a theory, now they cannot admit the mistake and have to double down.

We tested 150,000 today and found err 500 cases, what's that you say, how many are actually sick, how many caught it in hospital, or already had it and are completely healthy but detected on the test?.. Wait you're braking up, let me get back to you in my memoirs...

Just caught the end of this, where have you seen masks required in cinemas, I could have sworn I saw the opposite today, that masks are not required in cinemas?
