I got a response back from II regarding that pathetic article from Alistair Strang
Thank you for your email of 23rd August 2021 about Alistair Strang’s
article on our website. I am sorry that you had reason to raise a
complaint.
My understanding of your complaint is as follows:
You are unhappy with the opinion of Mr Strang’s article
titled ‘Are Eurasia Mining shares only worth 10p?’ published on our
website.
My findings are based on my understanding of your complaint, so please do
let me know if I have misunderstood any aspect.
On 19th August 2021 Alistair Strang published the article titled
‘Are Eurasia Mining shares only worth 10p?’ this was a piece
written in the opinion of the freelance journalist based on his views of
Eurasia Mining (LSE:EUA). I appreciate that you are unhappy with the article and we value your
feedback which has been passed on to Jemma Jackson and Our Head of Editorial
