Don't panic (Mr Mainwaring).
As markets fall the dollar index rises the more gold struggles.

Love and light……. ?

Sterling has never had parity with the dollar, the closest it came was way back in 1985 @ 1.07.

"Institutionally alarmist’ BBC’s stream of fake news on climate change.
THE BBC has been accused of institutional alarmism about climate change in a report published by Net Zero Watch. It reveals the BBC’s persistent exaggeration and false information when it comes to climate and weather-related news.
The BBC has been forced to correct items of false claims and fake news in climate-related coverage after receiving complaints in recent years.
It shows that it has become common practice for BBC reporters to publicise exaggerated and often misleading weather-and climate-related stories in order to hype up the potential risks from global warming.
INSTITUTIONAL ALAMISM is a form of hyped and exaggerated news reporting that is deeply embedded in the BBC."

Some peeps not only collect info from the wrong news source but worse still believe it.

So you would deny third world nations the use of fossil fuels and watch their subsequent decline after the west has benefited all these years.
Get real, the death of fossil fuels are like Mark Twain said
greatly exaggerated.

I bet you were one of these people that believed every word of 'An inconvenient truth' machiismo.
Al Gore started all this and put global warming now climate change on the map.
Remember that 'hockey stick', turns out after a few court cases it was subsequently proven to be a pack of lies, but Gore did well out of it.
This is not to denigrate climate change but a more controlled agenda would benefit all instead of what appears to be this rush to oblivion.

Re: overshoot day.
"We should mention that we’re not ecological resource- or climate-“doom-and-gloom” people. We’re also not over-optimistic, “change-your-lightbulbs-and-we’ll-be-OK” types, either. We’re realists. Somewhere in the middle.
The greatest potential for large-scale impact, however, lies with governments and businesses who align their policies and strategies with the reality of our finite planet."
And here lies the problem.
Take a look at Sri Lanka, having pledged to reducing/banning insecticides and chemical fertilisers, result, mass starvation and the government's demise.
Organic nation, more like go green and go hungry.

It would happen here If all these climate change activists (loons) had their way.

It was George Osborne who changed the pension rules, in that pension savers will no longer be required to use their pension pot to buy an annuity when reaching retirement. Also cash withdrawals could be made subject to tax.
The derisory annuity rates at the time (partly due to labour leaving the economy in such a mess) had many trapped and looking forward to a grim old age. Not wishing to put a political spin on this, (but I will) it was the conservatives that gave people the choice. I cannot ever see the controlling socialists implementing such a policy.
If they had their way they would implement some sort of nationalisation in this sector to get their hands on the vast amounts in pension funds, saved by those in work and probably distributed to the feckless in the name of leveling up.

No surprises that Keir Starmer has been cleared of breaking lockdown rules with his former dealings with Durham Police. The big surprise is that Angela Rayner has also been cleared and she wasn't even there!!!!!

Initially they forgot she must be important Lol.

I don't often agree with your usually negative posts DT, but on this occasion you're correct. It's the likes of machiismo's constant bickering, blaming everything on the Tory's syndrome that leads to most political posts on here.
Assisted by his fellow countryman Gazzleberry who pops up every now and then with even more dross.
Those two Scotsmen must have a big chip on their shoulders, but I guess it's some sort of release from their inferiority complex.

"In establishing the LTIP, the Company's Remuneration Committee has taken advice from a leading independent consultancy."
Who is on the remuneration committee?
Oh that will be the recipient's of the remuneration, we don't have that many employees to have an 'independent' remuneration committee but a pretentious statement including the words 'remuneration committee' sounds independent.

"leading independent consultancy"
That's simply paying a knowledgeable company to see how much we can award ourselves legally.

"the Company's remuneration policies will be developed on a systematic basis and matched to performance metrics, such as achieving important business milestones"
What are these performance metrics? As shareholders we should be informed or are we going back to the former ad hoc decisions on this one?

You can include "vesting period, strike price, expiry date and any performance conditions as it determines reasonable."
But as we all know if events go against you, you can easily change these so-called conditions, as you have done in the past.

"The total number of options under award will not exceed 10 per cent. of the Company's issued ordinary share capital at the grant date."
That seems a large percentage of the company's overall issued shares, but hey, the leading independent consultancy has told us we can include that much if we need it, or need more.

"The Share Options are valid for 10 years from the date of grant."
That's a long time, but guess what, although an unusual lengthy timeline, we've been advised this is perfectly legal by
the leading independent consultancy we have engaged. And you, the shareholders, have paid for it.

"The initial award of options"
That's 3.9% overall, so plenty more to come.
The Company's Nominated Adviser has 'advised' that the terms of the related party transaction are fair and reasonable insofar as the shareholders of the Company are concerned.
I'm sure they are and thank you, have a nice day I'm going to.

"Get rid of the English jackboot and Scotland will really thrive"
How they gonna pay their debts when everyone moves south?
Default like the last time when they came crawling back to the English.

"The moron is filtered so I guess I will never know"
The words of a thick sweaty pretending to not know how to remove the filter.
Prat.

"TheFarEnd that have made outright r@cist comments on here towards minorities"
More fantasy from someone who is never wrong, always wants the last word and lives in his own imaginary world.
Supports sturgeon (note the small capital), wants to break up the Union and rejoin Europe!
I dispare.

You couldn't find an example for Gate, so I'll not hold my breath for the above from you.

You can see when I proof read..........never. :-)

I've just heard, Boris has sacked Give!

You could be correct there Highveld, but since the fixed term Parliament has been reinstated there is some confusion if this has been revived.
Just looked it up as I was not aware of this.

Boris has one ace left, all the time he is prime minister he still has the power to call a general election.
Probably the real reason that no rules were changed tonight. The 1922 committee will reconvene on Monday it must have put the fair sh*** up them if he threatened that.

Just heard Brandon Lewis has resigned, (northern Ireland secretary).

Starmer is well known and 'in bed' with Durham Police during his time at the DPP. Sadly I don't believe any action will be taken. We've all seen the film clip, my mind's made up.

Just got in and been scrolling through and I would like to give a big thumbs up ^ to our resident poster PlatocComesaAgain for keeping this Lloyd's BB going these last 24 hours in what has been a very lean input period from contributors. :-) :-)
I'd sooner see Plato's posts than some of the political leftwing dross and bile that gets aired here by some of the misguided delusional moron's that appear from time to time.
You have restricted their input Plato.
Once again, thank you.
