Wild, your observation is true. The bbc article reported that MORE people are dying of cancer, and you are right, this could be reduced if treatments were better. I was trying to understand the relevance of amount spent on research.
And for a thread titled “the point is “ was trying to understand the point.

TF, billions are spent every year so over 50 years?
If not trillions then hundreds of billions.

Why are you evading the question?

Inan, there’s no point posting unrelated ramblings.
I simply was trying to ascertain the point of your 11:58 post. If you just say you posted the wrong link it would explain matters to an extent.
Otherwise it is just another of your nonsensical, pointless, poor posts.
Stick to cut and paste.

Ivy, yes it was a great game.
I haven’t got to the debate stage yet, haven’t got the point yet!
Maybe there wasn’t one?

Moljen,
Not arguing, just trying to understand it. You can’t disagree with something you don’t understand.
Do you know what the point was?

Evening ivy,
I was talking about Inan’s 11:58. Made no sense to me.
It did get 6 recs so hopefully 1 of the six will explain what’s good about it.
Inan patently can’t.

If it was so basic, what is it.?
You must have meant to make a point when you made it. Please tell us what it was?

What money?

You make a post with the title “the point is” and make no point.
Then you talk about money and provide a link to an article that does not mention money.

A very poor post in my opinion. Yet, you get 6 recs!!!

And you have the cheek to criticise other posts lol.

Inan,
Was that the correct link.? There was no mention of money.

Inan,

Did you put the wrong link?
I can’t see any reference to money spent.

Did you put the wrong link?
I can’t see any reference to money spent.

Inan, 11:58
“Put a number on how much has been spent by research institutions worldwide on Cancer in the last 50 years “

It must run into trillions of dollars. What’s your point?

Inan, perhaps you could explain?

Thanks Ivy. Where on earth does all the money go?

Is it just me, or does £5m a year seem a lot for a company who don’t make, market or sell anything? The only costs are people and premises.

C7, in the accounts, costs that are not expected to be repeated are normally recorded as “exceptional items”. For example, the cost of an acquisition that is unlikely to happen again. The problem with trying to identify “one off” costs is that there will be more “one off” costs. Until the full accounts are out it will be difficult to assess. I think we have got to accept that we will be burning £6-8m per year over the next few years. The only remedy is to start generating income or doing a deal.

Morning all, bit of snow in Northamptonshire as well, like everyone I suppose.
I don’t expect much to happen now sp wise. I can’t imagine it going much lower from here nor will it rise until trials start or there is a humdinger of an RNS.
Huddersfield at the bridge should be in the bag C7!

I'll leave you with this thought:

"If you can't intelligently argue for both sides of an issue, you don't understand the issue well enough to argue for either"

don't know who came up with this, if I did I would credit them.

Inan,

"guesswork"?

Do you not understand "what if?" scenarios?
