Perhaps someone should tell the MP's? They certainly don't seem to understand the word democracy. The people have spoken and regardless of whether or not you agree with the outcome, MP's should be doing what they were asked to do.
Those who are trying to block the efforts to leave are sticking two fingers up to the electorate and should be removed from office

"The bottom line is its an embarrassing mess, how can these people run a country!!!??"

MarkB. The brief answer is they can't but they cling on to power because that is what drives them all.The result is similar to what would transpire if I tried to fly a Typhoon.

Only yesterday, I had regaled a very good friend in California with the latest pitiful goings on Brexitwise and he responded thus:-
"As for domestic political woes, compare our two countries and I'll match you embarrassment for embarrassment. We do watch the BBC America news broadcast every evening, though, and cringe right along with you at the inability of members of Parliament to do much more than snipe away at each other trading insults and ducking working towards responsible, constructive action."

So, it's not just this side of the Pond although that is little consolation.

Yeah-but all over the place again-up to 8498 30 mins. ago now back down to 8198-movement of 3.5%.
MM's playing games ahead of the weekend.

From today's RNS
"Keith was first appointed to the Board of Royal Mail Group plc on 1 January 2018. Keith is also Chair of Halfords Group plc, Deputy Chairman of John Lewis and is Chair of the Rail Review."

This gentleman seems to attach himself to sinking ships: Halfords SP down 30% in 6 months:John Lewis struggling badly against the rising tide of online shopping:Royal Mail SP down 59% since flotation and as for chairing the Rail review one can only wish him bon voyage.

In contrast the ship he is leaving is, at present,only rolling in a heavy swell, but he is deserting it anyway.Wonder why?

Leaving aside all the maritime metaphors one has to enquire how he can hold down three Chairs and one deputy all at the same time and be effective?

Bit stagnant this morning.
Obviously St. Theresa's stirring speech last evening has gone down like the proverbial.

Nail on head hit, very neatly and succinctly, RMM.
Haven't seen you before but please do not go away-we could do with some pragmatism on this board-too much
pie in the sky thinking and wild SP projections.
Parker alone is running away with £55k a year-heavens knows what the NED's are receiving- I have asked Mitchell 4 times and not even the courtesy of an ack. I KNOW he's a busy man-doesn't stop him from getting the 'phone person to bung off a quick email.

Cards being held close to chest on all fronts-on the technical front possibly necessary, but not all the time. Parker et al should now be boosting Sareum's image, as you say, but at present they seem to be doing sweet FA apart from issuing a series of sycophantic announcements about Sierra's latest bowel movements.

My apols.if this sounds a tad acerbic but self and a host of LTH's are getting fed up with the BoD's apparent reluctance to get off its collective behind and get the company in the limelight.

11,702 and 14,803 posts respectively????
That's going some.

I think you will find that brokers etc. are paid in sterling by Petrofac.
HL pay the correct amount of sterling as per the exchange rate announced by the company.
In any case, as a UK shareholder you have to elect to receive your dividend in dollars
otherwise you receive sterling anyway.

Hi Kenj
Apols. if I mistreated your comment but I did say, in parenthesis,"or it would be if it was not so close to the truth!"

I too view the shambling monolith, known as the SFO, as a prime example of Civil Service bumbling ineptitude, totally oblivious to and uncaring about the damage their "investigations" cause to small shareholders and pension funds alike.

They are grasping at straws with Petrofac but have still managed to stretch it out to nearly 2 years and I feel it unlikely that the limp slap on the wrist by the House of Bores will make any difference whatsoever. Petrofac themselves have said they will not be issuing any more comment on the case, to avoid rocking the boat presumably, but the time must come when the SFO, at minimum, produce some form of progress report. How we go about getting that to happen I don't know but I would have thought a letter backed by a majority of the shareholders must be considered as a starting point.

KenJ
Great tongue in cheek stuff (or it would be if it was not so close to the truth!)

".......will simply agree to pay a fine to end the uncertainty and damage to their reputation and share price."
Yep-hence the invention of the Deferred Prosecution Agreement-"pay up now and we'll go easy on you!
Surely if any other branch of government (sic) made the same offer they would be for the high jump...well, wouldn't they?

Again-and will the SFO "get a wiggle on"
Don't hold your breath-just more hot air from the House of Bores, similar to the periodic sabre rattling by the National Audit Office, all designed to hoodwink the Public into thinking things will change. They never do.

Just a thought, and maybe far fetched, bit isn't it strange that, later on in the day a $billion contract is announced, the Italian authorities choose to announce the upholding of their sentence on Asfari?
SP down 1.3% this morning.

"Warthog4 ...sorry I mis-spelt your name just now....apologies."

Pokerchips- not a problem- I feel a bit "warlike" nowadays when I see the numpties in the House of Shame on the Thames bickering, backstabbing and generally behaving like small children and the other lot across the Channel playing God.
Nero must be turning in his grave

Bit of a joke really. The Watchdog of a nation where nothing gets done without baksheesh, pontificating about a piffling bit of insider trading. Not to be condoned of course but a tad hypocritical.

As for a Eur 300,000 fine, probably less than he gives Mrs A. for her dress allowance-guess it's his name which is more important?

Pokerchips-can you please say again, sometime soon:-
".....with no new key contract news as yet .."
to see if it prompts another $1bn contract announcement!!!!!!

Aber.
".....do something for shareholders"....??
Are you mad? There's only one thing that drives Company Directors and it certainly ain't the welfare of small shareholders.

Also summat wrong with the maths on "Directors'Deals"??

3 broker's "Buy" recs in 4 days.Just shows how much notice folk take.

If the doom mongers are so pretty damned smart why don't they short it???Silly question-it means the BBC folk and said doom mongers would have to put their money in the same place as their big uninformed mouths
