Just can’t stay away can you, Professor Chow? Hamming it up as you are is playing havoc with your subject, verb and object sequencing. So much so that you appear to be tripping over yourself as if you were a boozy Suzy. What gives?

“Educated opinion” isn’t typically evinced by compiling a headline that is demonstrably untrue.

I’m not sure who it is you think you are hoodwinking, or why, but, please, don’t flatter, fool or deceive yourself so much, that even you think you are here doing anything other than prosecuting an agenda.

Alan, you wouldn’t know what a Fact!!!* actually is if you were slapped around the chops with Whitby’s finest. All too often your ‘facts’ are little more than opinion and misdirection delivered with the newspaper.

But you just carry on, fella. There’ll be intelligent people reading and chuckling, and who will know without question - and certainly without you telling them - that you ‘take The Mail’.

Of course you do.

“Or is there different laws for the European Bosses !!”
——
No difference in the law for anyone, Alan. Only a significant difference in our powers of comprehension. ‘European Bosses’ - (bogeyman du jour seemingly, though who knows who they are outside your imagination) obviously place significantly greater emphasis on their own industry, than we consistently do ours, Alan. But why are you surprised? This is the prime minister who famously exclaimed “F**K business. And you support him.

No mirrors in your house, huh?

“Abusive langauges, swearing, even insulting people's ethnic backgrounds for having a different opinion on the share.

How is that civil?”
——-
It’s not. Which is why as far as our hosts are concerned it is not tolerated. If such behaviour offends you, then report it. It’s hard to see how engaging in a similarly provocative manner will change things for the better.

Good luck to you, I’ll leave you to it, but, you could turn the other cheek you know — quite satisfied that they might potentially have lost out if that’s what does it for you.

I like to hear what the rampers had to say after all their abuses and dominance of the bb.”

An eye for an eye, eh? Genius! You’ll go far.

“Many private landlords (a lot of them bad or slum landlords) had it peachy for years paying little or no taxes...”
——-
You belie your chosen name when you rush to such a broad-brush approach. The situation you highlight is a matter of enforcement and not legislation. I don’t seek to evade any taxes at all. Not least because I recognise that is the price of a fair and civilised society, however, if the taxes of those that do pay cannot be partially used to ensure payment by those who seek to evade doing so, and instead the authorities simply charge those who do pay even more well, that’s hardly fair is it? How might you receive the proposal that all share purchases are now subject to 5% stamp to offset some hedge funds channeling money offshore and out of reach of the exchequer? Not too enthusiastically, I should imagine.

Binary thinking is what has led this country into its current travails.

“As I said earlier it would be political suicide to wipe out the shareholders in this project.”
———
Would that it were. Unfortunately for us there are certain sections of society that, for one reason or other, and to some extent understandably, do not instantly command the sympathies of the wider public. Investors/speculators/gamblers* fall into such a group. For example, George Osborne’s simple and cynical raid on private landlords, doesn’t appear to have done the Tories any lasting harm, has it?

In light of the manner with which the incumbent prime minister appears quite content to trash the customs, conventions and practices that we have hitherto considered the norm, I’d be wary of placing too much faith in him ‘doing the right thing’ anyway. Besides, doesn’t it all depend on the prism through which we observe things? When set against the perception (accurate or otherwise) that Labour policy might prove disadvantageous to private investors, Johnson’s ‘B’ Team are perhaps more than aware that they have a reasonable amount of wriggle room within which they might indulge their levities.

More pity us.

Since we are being precise, as it comes in sulphate form, the potassium contained within polyhalite is actually recognised as high grade potash. The apparent shortcomings centre only on the percentage of polyhalite attributable to potassium - which is 14% (this compares to KCL about 4 times as much).

Cheers,

“and it is information like that which is contained in the post which you refer to that matters a lot more than (random) speculation and conjecture”
——-
Hopefully. But as Tina Turner might sing were she in the potash business - ‘what’s phosphate got to do with it?

As Myo acknowledged, good digging for the Norwegian/Qatari connection, but, - despite some understanding and appreciation for blends - I’m not immediately seeing the connection between Yara’s search for phosphate (P) and our plan to produce potash (K).

He’s a cheater, a chancer, confirmed liar and opportunist who will say whatever it is he thinks his audience wants to hear. More fool them however, should they neglect to hold him to account when he fails them. As he inevitably will.

“And by the way, one wonders who appointed those well known thieves to work on the "best effort basis" in a conditional deal announced in April-19 in the first place, hmm?”
——-
Oh for Pete’s sake, KOH. Get yourself clued up, will you? This must be something like the 137th time that you’ve chosen to alight upon the ‘best effort’ clause isn’t it?

Instead of bleating on about this point, why don’t you attempt to undercover just how commonplace it might be? And perhaps at the same time establish in just what sort of circumstances such an offering might be the most appropriate. Armed with your newly acquired information you can then decide to take a shot at Fraser if you so wish, before hopefully turning the barrel on yourself for being daft enough to invest in an unfunded mining company that is hoping to sell what is for all intents and purposes an unproven product.

You feeling tired or something, Scotty? I am. Sick and tired of supposedly intelligent adults sticking their fingers in their ears, rather than stretching themselves to understand wtf is going on here.

Anyone happy to accept a no-deal scenario is either entirely ambivalent about their investment here, too dim to grasp the full ramifications of such a situation, sufficiently financially cushioned to ride out the worst of it or, so ideologically driven that no amount of self harm is a price too high to pay so long it achieves their swivel-eyed ambitions. Of course none of these are mutually exclusive and I am sure that for a few more than one will apply. Fools.

“You didn’t think profits like that were going to remain on the table did you?”

And why would they? Especially when a no-deal scenario - and all that entails - raises its ugly head so prominently.

If people reading are unable to draw a correlation between Angela Merkel informing our hapless prime minister that any Brexit deal is now “essentially impossible” (news released by No. 10 ~ 10:30 this morning) and the immediate flurry of trades that took us back down again around the same time, then they are not asking themselves enough questions, or are so ideologically blinded that they will never see it.

“Doesn’t exactly add up does it”
——-
A simple conclusion to draw, but, there’s a helluva difference between passively following one man’s dream and being that very man himself who is in prime position to exert the most influence, effect the most change and who effectively has the final say in any decision making process.

Wouldn’t you say, jonesey ?

You’re bang on the money for me, Laker. The fact is society as a whole is struggling to come to terms with the effects social media has. The sooner platforms that offer content provided by their users are charged with ensuring ALL content is within accepted norms, the sooner some of the darker, more malevolent content will start to be addressed. If a newspaper published a letter from reader that had anything like some of the content we see online, then we all know full action would be taken.

Platforms that wring their hands citing ‘user generated content’ are abdicating their responsibility for its publication, whilst all the while trousering huge advertising profits generated by clicks that increase in number the more controversial or provocative the content is.

Like you, I am absolutely convinced that the unfounded allegations, the slurs, the insults and the malignant insinuations would decrease markedly should users be required to register a name, address, credit card details and verifiable security information.

Regards,

Fair play to you, Tony. It takes integrity to admit we may be mistaken, and your 08:58 serves you well imo.

Good luck to you.

“for him to start apportioning blame on BB’s and investors being badly advised stinks of sheer arrogance and disregard for people that have invested in this project.”
———
Perhaps you haven’t read the article, Tony? I cannot recollect Fraser blaming bulletin boards for Sirius’ travails. Rather, he is suggesting that some of those who have invested unadvisedly large amounts (relative to their circumstances) may well have been in part misguided by some of the stuff that is read in places such as this. And even the casual observer would have to concede that he may have a point.

Put your prejudice aside and grow up. Fraser was born in Yeovil, so can we look forward to your perfidious Albion contribution?
