Sorry, "using" not "suing"

been always a mixture of a dangled carrot and jam tomorrow but will the impossible happen i.e.will tomorrow ever arrive??
Suspect the MM's have their phishing rods out this morning. Hope so 'cos a 34% fall since the euphoria of the 737 announcement, whilst not a new phenomenon, ain't funny.

“Today’s result should serve as a warning; the SFO will use all the powers at its disposal to root out and prosecute companies and individuals, whose criminal activity detrimentally affects the reputation and integrity of the United Kingdom"
Fine words Lisa. Now back them up by chasing after the real crooks suing UK as a money laundering outlet.
Fat chance. What a crap system.

All very well but from where did Alliance obtain the "news".
There is nothing on the SFO website, not even mention of the conclusion of the case and resulting fine

Petrofac has been brought to its knees over a miserable 30million bucks but it seems more than possible that overseas buyers are laundering billions via the UK. Somthing for the SFO to get its teeth into except of course the miscreants are far too powerful and high profile.
One law for the Ubers....

Brilliant from the point of view of closure of the SFO meddling but in terms of SP bit of a damp squib

Sure is but it has taken the SFO 4 years and 145 days to get there at a cost of heavens knows what and just to prove that a British company, employing thousands of folk,merely indulged in what is common practice in some parts of the World and involved peanuts in the overall scheme of things.
If the British Government was put in the dock for dubious practices the case would last for decades.
The mask of Janus springs to mind.

Oops-apols. Pressed the wrong button

It will be whatever the Judge has been told to impose by the powers that be i.e. as much as theythink they can get away with without creating a storm of protest.

Whatever the figure it will be whatever the Judge has been told to impose by the powers that be i.e. as much as they think they can get away with without creating a storm of criticism.
Cynical?? Maybe, but just bear in mind that any central government is morally corrupt and in the case of this country's present debacle, financially banjaxed.
Hope, sincerely,I am wrong

"Any thoughts anyone"
A wonderful dream on scenario jaffjoon. The SFO is just another vehicle for raising tax.

onand on and on and on. No wonder lawyers et al are rolling in it.

Says who??

Whatever the size of the fine it is us shareholders, of whatever ilk, who are being penalised for something we had no hand in, not "The Company".
Just another form of taxation by a greedy grasping Tory government

Since when do barristers tell a judge what to do???

Sorry-no it wasn't!!
Having one of those mornings.

How long is a piece of string??
Posted it once but removed- is "string" now a banned word perhaps?
