Attacking the Judiciary is not attacking the law, just the people who are meant to interpret it without fear or favour. Anyway more to the point is a nice rise to the indexes might herald in better times for investors. At last.

It looks as though when it comes to abiding by the law, Starmer is on the wrong side of the bars.

Don't do as I do, Do as I say

The bank od England was the main player in the 'tank'.

As a matter of fact yes I did study Chemistry, although perhaps I'm a few neutrons surplus to the full complement.

No they're not the best people, they're the manipulated and scheming leaders of two anti democratic organisations who have a monopilistic type of control of UK politics courtesy our first past the post system that makes third parties and newcomers virtuall powerless. So their brand of politics, two isotopes of the same toxin is all we ge, and if you speak out against it you will be called a fruitcake, a nutjob, you will be debanked and cancelled.

The record date is the date used to identify the qualifying shareholders. Normally the record date is one day after the ex div date and snce transactions register on a T + 2 basis , you need to buy2 days before the record date. Since he record date has already passed for NG rights, it is akready too late to buy - presumably. even though theoretically they are still pre ex-rights. It makes no sense to me. They seem to have changed the order to stop people buying with rights after the announcement but created a share paradox.

I appreciate that to many the promidse of unlimted free energy looks enormously enticing. Recently news has reported on the " First deep geothermal project for 37 years" which now powers some of the Eden project. It was paid for by various private and public funding and was expected to produce enough energy for the Eden project and enough left over to power thousands of homes via the grid.

The Eden project is no stranger to free money via development grants exceeding 138 million in the early part of the millenium.

The cost savings delivered to Eden via geothermal means that rthe well will pay fot itself in 25 years if you ignore the future cost of money. Financially it will never return the investment, Furthermore, geothermal wella have a finite lifetime. In countries where geothermal opportunities are geographically highly available, analysis has shown well have lifespans varying grom 12 - 40 years, depending on many variables but most commonly thermal stress. So even on an interest free basis it is quite likely that geothermal power for Eden will only ever repay a fracyion of it's costs. This explains perhaps why this is the first deep project for 35 years.

I hope one day that mining techniques can deliver energy at a cost that is competitive , before fusion makes all such endeavours redundant maybe.

The successful exploitation of geothermal energy in the UK looks difficult in the current state of the technology.

I do not consider that a business plan for viable geothermal energy can currently be imagined except in the greener brain that puts virtue beyond finance.

We can, however, always hope.

Testing wells which is the first thing to do after drill completion,. ascertains the properties of the well. It will, along with other data, establish a pressure v production profile and examination of the geology of the well will also influence the eventual decision about attempted flow rate.

The Saltfleetby geology is a difficult geology when it come to well bores. Many sidetracks have given problems and formation damage has been commonplace.

Attempts to ramp up flow rates rarely comes without risks. As you drain more gas or oil from a formation, you have to consider the rate at which it is replenished and after studying pressure decide whether the higher pressure differences caused by the increased flow can contribute to damage to the well bore.

After the trouble experienced with well bore damage during drilling, I hope the company is being cautious with ongoing flow rates. The company will have given this considerable attention and come up with a sustainable target.

The addition of another compressor might very well increase flow rates, but they will also stand more chance of degrading well integrity. This would only lead to eventually lower levels of output from the degraded well.

I expect the company is maximising the safe output from this well, speculating about possible increases is guessing in the dark without all the relevant well data and the math calculations that need to be done with it.

GBP > EUR is at about 12 month average and GB >USD is within 1% of 12 month high, so this is not exclusively a UK problem. Property prices have been out of step with reality caused by deliberate demand side issues engineered at westminster. It has not ever been sustainable, it's just a question of how big the bubble gets. Global inflation has focused the populace around priorities, but the UK has been hit by inflation in major sectors more than most.

Singhie, the only thing I would consider stupid is the refusal to understand that the will of the people is democracy and that the answer to all questions does not lie on a spreadsheet.

That is the fourth law of Robotics.

A realist works with what is and does not live in a non existent world.

You see the answer to all problems through the remainer filter resulting in a logic disconnect. Nothing useful will come from this.

I think you'll find that a debate on future requirements becomes somewhat a subjective view of the world.

We need first to examine data and learn from it. The UK currently has a population density double that of the G20 average ( G 20 composed of most of the worlds largest economies ) It's population density is also the third highest in the G20 and it had been engaged in significant immigration in the last 20 years supposedly to import more highly skilled people and bring in those in areas of high shortages.

During this time we have seen our gdp/capita go from $50.4K down to $46.5. So we either got it wrong or did not do enough. Australia on the other hand who took a more consevarive approach with little demographic change went ftom $41K up to $60K.

We can all agree that much better training and education will benefit those in the future, but when the world faces rising populations and probably ever more shortages of food/energy and land resources, Increasing populations seems to me to be going down the wrong road. The evidence in the UK is that it does not work either.

If people need to be a holder of paper shares canoot thery just convert 10 shares into paper format and retain the rest? Would this be easier or cheaper? If the number of shartes is irrelevant, 10 is as good as a million.

Yes, but when people threaten you, you have a choice. Stand up and be counted, or take the knee.
Each to his own. Only hindsight delivers the reality of the possible expected outcomes.

Dear Mr Singed Ears
I know that remaniacs and the other silmlar types at the centre for european reform ( that eminently independent thoughtless tank -doh ) love getting their models and algorithms to prove that Narnia really does exist. If you compare our gdp activity with other G7 nations it's nothing monstous, but there was always an inevitable downside with the unelected fascists at the EU trying to put the boot in to deter other freedom loving countries from engaging in wrongthink.
You are welcome to your hairy fairy predictions, they are no more accurate than your 'sustainable renewals' as opposed I presume to the unsustainable ones. ( see Tautology)
Anyway it is Sunday so dream on.

I think you'll find that Europe was at the mercy of Putin because of the idiotic energy policy of most in the EU snd Germany in particular. It was only Brexit that gave the UK the indepence necessary to be the standared bearer for support to the Ukraine in those early days when they were most at risk from the initial surge of men and machinery where uk supplies of anti tank weaponry were decisive.
But I know you hate brexit so keep nutting that wall all you like. Fill yer boots.
