The very same GB. Also they know him as a failed politician in Canada.

"Not least the failed Labour leader Neil Kinnock who has been banging the drum for closer relations with the EU this weekend by offering his support to a Labour Movement For Europe motion that would “make rebuilding our relationship with our European neighbours a priority for our first term”

Lord and Lady Kinnock receive EU pensions worth over £7 million from their experience as MEPs and European Commisioner. Pensions don’t feature on the Lords’ Register of Interests. Just a reminder that politicians follow the gravy train." Some things never change.

It may have dampened somewhat on here GB, but there's been many subtle mentions at Liverpool this week. There's no smoke and all that, they just can't be trusted.

"no doubt this will have a knock on effect in the US &UK"....

No mention of Europe then, they must be immune from it all. Methinks Germany has suffered more than any other country.

I was going to say nation, but the EU don't like that terminology.

"Rachel Reeves is a serious economist" 😂

"And, look, it is beyond time we put her energy and ideas into action.”

Please note: nothing said about what those ideas are!

"just look what the Tories have don to decimate our finances!"

I'm guessing you'll hold them responsible for the finances of the western world then WW. Don't mention the €806.9 billion EU recovery fund.

Btw, I don't recall anyone complaining for the two years that they didn't work and received a salary, did you? Furlough was an unknown word back then.

You just gotta laugh at Gazzleberrys contribution here. 🤣 With Scotland's debts, what a Muppet. 🤣🤣🤣

Keep an eye on shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves today. Maybe announcing a further tax on banks, oilies and energy companies.

You can't ignore politics if you're invested here.

At 11:20 this morning Angela Rayner will kick off the comedy sketch show that is being billed as the labour party conference. Word is she wants to make misogyny an offence, and there was me thinking, as all Tories are scum, surely that includes the female members.

As a prelude to this farce, Keir Starmer has announced a £1.5 billion plan to coerce NHS staff to work overtime to clear the backlog of procedures.

Where the £1.5 billion is coming from is anyone's guess, but what's more worrying is just how are they going to get the staff who are protesting outside the hospital's to down their strike placards and go inside and get to work. If they're given a 35% rise, good luck with that one.

More comedy gold will follow in the next few days.

Never could understand those 'sweaties', especially their voting habits. They've gone from voting for a party with one policy, 'independence' to a party with no policy's.

Just saying.

"Well, had Lloyds simply kept the bought back shares in Treasury rather than cancelling them then those shares could have been used to buy out Metro shareholders almost on a one for one basis."

I guess you're used to that awkward moment Gazzleberry, when a zombie is looking for brains and walks right by you. DOH!!!

Wonder why HS2's costs keep going up and up? One reason, we can reveal, is an expensive obsession with diversity - and you won't know whether to laugh or weep.

The assumption that Brexit will result in a 4% decline in GDP overtime, as the OBR forecast is unproven.

Andrew Bailey, governor of the Bank of England, warned that policymakers should take no chances with financial stability despite the “opportunities” that Brexit has created for the UK.

Bailey was relatively optimistic about the effect of Brexit on the City, suggesting that the impact of Brexit had been smaller than the “dire predictions” that were made before the referendum.

In fact, he argued that Brexit had “created opportunities” for the UK, particularly in financial services. “I’ve always said, not everything about EU regulation was best suited to any national circumstances”.

Ramping was something I slipped into my reply to illustrate the 'contents of your posts' comment. Anyone who has followed this BB over the years knows that after every setback this company has suffered, not only do you try and put a positive spin on it, you will try and castigate anyone who disagrees with you. Which is probably not a wise move when people are losing time and money. Something that is happening right now!

Its a travesty what has happened to investors of HZM especially so soon after such a positive recent RNS (which on the face of it was outright lies) The same could be said about BEM but of course as you 'weren't born yesterday' it couldn't possibly happen to you Suzy, could it? Try saying that to Horizonte investors.

Once you get attached to an investment, which you clearly have, for over 10 years. I would suggest your judgement becomes cloudy and you have clearly illustrated this over the years and are still doing. Hence the constant interaction with any post that you perceive as negative.

In short I repeat, you are clearly one of those who are 'expecting some sort of a miracle' here. I hope your fairy godmother delivers for you.

"We weren't born yesterday"..

Judging by the outright ramping and contents of your posts on this site over the years there have been many who have questioned that statement Suzy. 😆

Suzy.

From an investor perspective, the decision 18 months was the one that mattered. Whatever the court decides is irrelevant regarding investor returns. 'Actual' decision or not, it's all about the share price. And as I said "that opportunity will not present itself again IMO."

I don't believe that the SP will rise again over 500% from its present value after the supreme court decision, hence my comment about opportunity. All I can see from here is oblivion or dilution (depending on the court), with yet more issued shares followed by the inevitable consolidation. The last cash raise was not well received by pi's and, same as the last financing is not being used for what it was promoted for. So in that respect (consolidation) yes, you might see 20p again but you'll have a lot less shares.

Eric was correct that you can't make a comparison between HZM and BEM as they are at different stages. But again, IMO, it's a good/classic indicator of what may be the future of BEM if indeed they do make progress.

I genuinely hope BEM will deliver, especially for the Lt investors who have been involved here for over a decade.

The decision that mattered, the one that you were waiting for occurred some 18 months ago Suzy. That opportunity will not present itself again IMO. The miracle if there is one coming, is yet to materialise.

Eric, my post was about the perils of AIM investing, which I'm sure most are aware of. Nothing about a comparison between HZM and BEM. However, with the recent shenanigans at the top here and the current moratorium (stagnation by any other word) led me to my comment that small punters are still being parted from their investments, hence the title.

For those here who are expecting some sort of a miracle….. while you are waiting it could be prudent to take a look over on the HZM BB.

A classic example of an AIM miner. Well advanced and supposably financed with backing from the likes of Glencore, LaMancha and Orion.

Out of the blue there's a funding gap, who'd have thought it!

Slowly and surely the small punters are being parted from their investment.

LONDON (Reuters) -British house prices in September were 5.3% lower than a year earlier, matching their fall in August which was the biggest annual drop since 2009, figures from mortgage lender Nationwide showed on Monday.

In month-on-month terms, prices were unchanged in September after a 0.8% fall in August, Nationwide said.

FLIP FLOP.

"Now the HS2 rail extension to Leeds has been scrapped, Labour’s immediately called the announcement “a great train robbery” and insisted the north is being “sold out“. Sir Keir even claimed “the north of England has been betrayed“. The only problem is Starmer himself openly opposed HS2 for years, both as a candidate and later as an MP."

"Now that the government is rowing back its own plans, Starmer is suddenly HS2’s biggest cheerleader in the Commons. Starmer was so on the back foot during the interview he even got confused with his dates, claiming he was elected leader in 2018 – a full two years wide of the mark".

"Anti-HS2 crusader Keir Starmer may have to face down his Shadow Cabinet as an unearthed video does the rounds of him unreservedly blasting the project “on cost and merit”, and categorically stating that “the only sensible plan is to abandon the project altogether”.

Leading up to the 2015 election, Starmer said that “fighting HS2” was one of his “top priorities” for his constituents – even ahead of the NHS:

Make yer mind up mick , do you support it or not? Oh you're not sure, you can't follow labour policy because they keep flip flopping. Andy Burnham suddenly support's it and the rest of the sheep follow because of a rumour.

Get real yer lefty twats.

China could be forced to "sacrifice its currency to avoid a nasty recession" - something that could blow a huge hole in the Communist Party's "legitimacy"

Ring any bells, anyone?

How about this from Harold Wilson. “From now on, the pound abroad is worth 14% or so less in terms of other currencies. That doesn’t mean, of course, that the pound here in Britain, in your pocket or purse or in your bank, has been devalued.”

After this humiliating announcement from the then chancellor Sunny Jim Callaghan everyone knew that a huge hole had been blown in the labour party's legitimacy.

I won't mention the other 30% devaluation some years earlier under the then labour government of Clement Attlee…….oh! I just did.

Be aware that history sometimes is destined to repeat itself.

Have a great weekend all, we're out for a few bevvies and a nice meal.

Enjoy your mutterings as I'll have a laugh reading some of them, ciao.
