Boomer,this argument the rich will leave is as old as the hills.There are many reasons why the rich decide to stay and if it was purely for monetary gain they could leave now for much better tax havens.
My opinion is they are more likely to leave if we left the EU and their HQ's were relocated within Europe,what you say?

wasred, should we defy the will of 95% of the people to tax the 5%, this democracy thing opens up a pile of conundrums.
Probably best for the 5% to sweep it under the carpet I think.

Boris is in a pickle of his own making, he's taking the flack for everything that's gone wrong in the last 9 yrs,why didn't he from the start call himself the "new Conservative party" like Blair did, too late now.
I'm surprised Cummings didn't think of it.

It's a real struggle to get a point over here but lets try again..
ITV provides the infrastructure for free so viewers can watch and the advertising revenue cover these costs and profit margin.
Labour is asking for the FANG's to do the same with broad-band and you lot are up in arms,what is the difference??

ENA must think differently as their reported position above .5% commenced on the 27th feb the day after the company was officially notified of an investigation but what we don't know is ENA's long position in what ever form it appears.

The auditors (PWC) must have been aware of accounting practice so i feel FCA report will be another cover up...

Franky, remember saying this on 16th Oct about prsm at 908p
" Any idiot can see this is way ahead of itself. LT it will get usurped by better open source robotics and ST it's way ahead of itself. Enjoy the ride back down."
Price now over 1200p,we don't always get it right do we.

This GE has become a re run of the referendum but this time you Tory supporters have become remain and Labour the party of protest against the establishment.

HH, and you don't think within the last 6 months they haven't discussed with the 21% (a few ii) why they voted the way they did?
A funny way to run industrial relations.

Strange how Metro wanted to resurrect a problem from an AGM 6 months ago, perhaps even they don't want the share price to run away too soon.

DRS, the Conservatives have already beaten Labour to a windfall tax on banking which will hurt more from 2021 when it will only focus on banks with UK balance sheets
"The Bank Levy was introduced in 2011. Its purpose is to ensure that banks and building societies make a fair contribution, reflecting the risks they pose to the financial system and the wider UK economy"
Doesn't make sense,now that they are paying for MREL.

What is true it's been a tough 10yrs for banks which you can't say is true for the Labour 2000's,unless we're going to re write history which has been done with the global financial crisis being instigated by Labour.
What I really fancy now is for the UK to become net zero by 2030,stick two fingers up to the world oil markets and for the country to be truly independent of energy cartels.
Is this too much to ask for, has this country any ambition left or has it lost its marbles.

Channel 4 programme brought it all back, the least well off and the prudent paid for the financial mistakes of the banks.
You could say PPI went some way to redress the problem but was always unlikely to reach those that lost out.
The economy has become unbalanced and would operate better if 2% of GDP (£36bn) could trickle down to where it is needed.
Taxing the FANG's £5.5bn for our data which they are getting for free and providing free broadband would make a good start and might take some pressure off them coming up with another PPI, with consumers splashing the cash on foreign goods again.

"Unfortunately a change in short positions, doesn't have a material impact on price."
LTI, this is what they want you to believe, why take it down to just under 10%

Lets face it this whole mess was created by the few as the smaller depositor has increased their deposits " In the first half of this year, customer money dropped 13 per cent, as several large commercial customers withdrew their cash".
No doubt with the security of MREL in place these few will orchestrate it's recovery.

Another one bits the dust.
Grand old Duke of York has revealed apart from the 10,000 men there were women involved too, but none of them were under age or messed about on the hill.

When has it ever been a green and pleasant land.
The East India Company did it on an industrial scale "Although opium smoking was a subject of fascinated horror for Europeans, the Company actually encouraged people to use the drug in China - sales of opium were extremely lucrative. As a result, millions of Chinese would die from opium addiction."

Boomer,if they can offer free internet to UK consumers by taxing foreign companies for the privilege of access to UK consumers wouldn't that be positive for us?

The world needs the highest quality energy which is currently electricity and the first world will move more to renewables as the price drops.
There will always be a place for oil,the world is awash with it,but most of that oil will never see the light of day, not only for political reasons(Iran,Venezuela )but the third world will be unable to afford it, especially that oil which is expensive to extract-Falklands?

LTI,what is going on in your head.You say "so what" to hedge fund,then won't invest till shorts move?
"it is simply an opinion that is put into the public domain that professional funds believe that a company is overvalued. So what?" and "but it won't be Metro at the current price without a move on short positions."
