Nero,Ha ha.agree bbc is biased absolutely.I would imagine with your mis trust of the usa the last thing you would want to see is brexit and the uk being an even bigger lackey to the usa.What are your conspiracy thoughts on aaron banks and the Russian and american backing of the vote leave campaign out of interest?.I consider myself left of centre.I consider the right to protest a human right.I have joined stop the war ,anti austerity and palestinian marches.I would agree that much of the usa foreign policy has been dubious to say the least ,with the exception of j carter.However I am minded of the clash who helped to introduce me to sandinista.on sandinista the song washington bullets deals with pinochet (v jara),nicaragua,cuba the usa,but also Russia invading afghanistan and china for tibet .

And there we have it ,as today Russia were at it invading ,arming any sympathetic regime,Cuba sending operatives all over the word .Russia have as much to answer for in syria as the usa .usa is happy to do business with despots all over the world as they are generally stable and ortega has been pretty compliant with the usa since 2007.
I was at an interesting event in mid wales last saturday.guisell Mirales,the nica ambassador lumped the guardian in with all other right wing press.well yes there are a certain amount of bias in a lot of press for sure generally,but to say that what I have said is unbacked despite every relevant human rights organisation and a massive majority of south and central american states condemning ortega,write off all media except a dodgy Russian website ,two state owned broadcasters and an article in the guardian ,a paper G M rubbished last week is ridiculous.this is the trump effect.just deny everything and call it fake news.Or for that matter Putin.
I had an interesting conversation with two visiting students from the protests.
You cannot divorce the politics from cnr even if we have polarised views.cnr was 59 p days before the protests.we have had a pc yet we are still sub 40 p.I am surprised we havn't moved up somewhat.
The market is still cautious.what is the usa likely to do.who knows with trump ? The usa is likely to ratchet up sanctions.what if ortega ratchets up his anti america rhetoric.That is hardly going to encourage foreign investment.
What if the Usa puts pressure on the world bank,part of the world banks remit is improving human rights hence their involvement in the aboriginal lands laws.What if his regime gets obstructive if pressure is brought to bear.
Of course permits could come anytime.would hope for a good lift.I have no clue whether the permits are imminent.the timescales say so .if there is a good spike on confirmation I will be de risking as getting the permits is good but the start of the next leg .If these reach the £4.00 in two months as predicted on here by someone I will cease posting here as I will have sold. 10 bagger sound
