Fordm "the UK gained literally zero from brexit"

I hate the EU very very corrupt even more than the UK !

UK now has a "Independent trade policy" and we have done many many new trade deals around the world, we even have a smaller tariff in the USA than the EU :-)

we have a Immigration system under UK control, they are just not very good at control, but the EU is in a worse state with immigration !

We save a lot of money with the removal from EU budget contributions circa 10 billion but it's complex.

The UK gained full legal and regulatory sovereignty and I am happy to be out of the EU a bit of short term pain for a VERY long term gain.

As for the straights "2019 – Tanker attacks and seizures

- Period: Spring–summer 2019

- What happened:

- Multiple tankers damaged by limpet mines or attacks near Hormuz.

- Iran seized the UK‑flagged Stena Impero and other vessels.

it be ongoing since the 1980's !

"The Sultanate of Oman has condemned Iran's attacks on energy sites in Qatar, the UAE and Saudia Arabia, according to the country’s state news agency.

"Oman affirms the imperative of upholding international laws and norms, refraining from striking civilian facilities and global energy supplies," "

I am sure again that Islam extremists don't really care about international laws !

When will these countries fight back ? as atm they relie heavily on US security guarantees. BUT YET fail to help !

Jds15 i was out for the day and would have sold the 20% RR again at high 12's , def buy back in at £12 imo

without NATO and UAE help though we are in along war and maybe a market crash.

Investerintheknow only if you sell them.

I sold 1/2 by BP at over a £5 well up in my ISA , kept half as in a fund account and those are 49% up !!!

Slighty annoyed i sold my ISA BP but £5 was big profit. And it's real when you sell :-)

RR is safer than the guys who went into EEE or wishbone. both on their knees atm

I 'l buy RR under £12 it always recovers very fast on good news.

Why read what the fool evens posts, it's all lies.

attacks on gulf nations continue throughout the night. they need usa help ! but won't fight !!!

this is a already a ww. bury heads the world will goto ****.

i don't agree with israel and what they are doing, but we are where we are now, and uae, and nato have to make the straights free passage.

mortgage rates all over 5% now, fertilizer will jump 40% next month, food will rocket.

iran now killing any one they can find and attacking any one within range. so " iran's fault for defending itself, " now on the 19th march is false they are attacking any one with oil within range.

investerintheknow and woke formd are very blind to the real costs the would will have now. a recession will follow and a market crash if this goes on.

well all the weak countries are in the **** now by putting their heads in the sand, oils up 5% yesterday and 6% thins morning.

will the uae wake up ! will nato step in ? if not this will be a disaster.

bury heads it will go away attitude is not working, but i could have told them that.

get ready for big red today on all markets.

I am still up £3k today not too bad with a FTSE 100 point drop !

I bet the Iran extremist are scared now !!!

"calling on "all parties" to adhere to international law"

tough words !! ZERO action.

IRGC issues evacuation orders for energy facilities in Gulf

published at 13:16

13:16

The Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has issued evacuation orders for five energy facilities in the Gulf.

oil just gone up 5% we are f4cked now !!

NOT OUR WAR though !! burry heads it will go away !!!!!

investerintheknow, you asked should we defend the straights < i said yes, the global economic stability depends on the straits.

you then took the **** about petrol and porsches !!! them the facts. don't back track with bull**** comments.

you are happy to see the global economic stability fall apart, the poor get poorer, the kids starve and come winter oap cannot afford the hearting bill, repossessions on houses will go up once people come out their 1.5% fixed term and than have to pay >5.5% food going to rocket due to farming issues like it did 4 years ago.

so yes i stick by "you don't have a clue" 750 odd boats stuck most are heading to nato countries. - 1,265 vessels active across the corridor !

ok lets just say "not our war" burry our heads and force people onto the streets.

11.51 Iran media says complex on world's largest natural gas field hit

This is not a war that just happened it really started in April 2024 under Biden.

USA were already in it before Trump ! Iran were already bombing bases in 2024 and 2025 !!

Iran were killing their own people, do we turn a blind eye and just say "if Muslims want to kill Muslims let them "

Army and all forces are a killing machine, you are trained to kill people, it's no jolly. I would not join the forces myself, my dad and my grandparents were.

It's not for me, I don't want to kill people because that's really is the job when push comes to shove.

This is a 45 year old conflict which got bigger in April 2024 under Biden shall we all just ignore it and let Iran get longer more powerful weapons/misiles !

It's not all about petrol, the borrowing rates are jumping sky high, the Gov won't help people as much as they say, people mortgages are shooting up.

If you think it's just a petrol price you are deluded. Fertiliser is killing UK farming it's shot up, that puts up all food prices, the whole world might go into recession and we will see more poverty.

You don't seem to have a much of clue if you just worried about petrol prices !

I think NATO should defend the straights, that is my opinion.

"…and let me add, how many of those screaming ‘war war’ have actually served or have family members who have served."

It is their job to be fair ! NO one said go join the Army, and the RAF pilots have little risk and very high wages >£80k plus pension for in the main flying round the lake District 90% of the time on a jolly.

95/99% of the forces are training and not active in any war anywhere.

I am saying to NATO lets get the boats though, not goto war.

It's a shame NATO won't help really, it's not joining a war it's just giving boats safe passage and what's done is done.

Even India sent 2 jets out to get 2 boats though.

Iran keep attacking UAE and they don't seem to care and just put their heads in the sand and ban any locals taking pictures !

Wait till the next country wants USA help !

But USA went into this under biden in April 2024 this is over hang

Called a "flexible ISA."

imo the GOV should make all ISA flexible these days.

Labour are mental atm net Zero and they charge what 70/80p in TAX on fuel, just drop it 20p, or DON't buy any new oil and use the reserves and BAN petrol companies from putting prices up in the UK for 2 weeks.

UK has 90 days oil in reserve, USE 14 days worth to keep costs normal. . or knock 20p off a L, 2 simple ways to help people.

I disagree that's ok is it not :-) Trump wont be putting up rates either imo it's the oil price issue not a rate issue any any rate change will not affect inflation just growth. And inter borrowing rates are already up.

He won't put up the base rate.

the price opened at £12.20 as in auction it was up from Friday, so the next level is what I said £11.96 and it's bounced off that 4 times.

So at the time the next stop down is still £11.96 ish because it was tested 9th March a week ago it's only gone up from then.

you said "Trying to find a support level here atm " after £11.90 odd it's worse than £11.50 it's under £11.40.

I think if oil does not go back to $105 we should be ok.

For a gamble I would buy more at £11.95. But I did buy today at £12.23 to gain 6% more shares after my higher sells.

that's money now gone but I would buy sub £12 with new money.
