Hi guys, I have also received and read the update from Signature! It's certainly an interesting read, but I have always said that the AG will never cooperate willingly, esp as they are unlikely to get the £20M they are demanding be paid to Evaluesafety. Even after the Court decrees that they have to hand over all the requested documents and info (which the Court WILL imho) my gut tells me they will insist that no such docs and info are available! I'd bet money on that!!! As regards the interim payment I haven't been contacted by Signature about it so I'm hoping they have all of my relevant info on record. Finally, I too hope that the criminal case proceeds, and quickly, it would be nice to hear that a certain Mr Walsh is sent to jail for a long spell!

Theresa May accused of 'Brexit betrayal' as she asks EU to consider longer transition period



By James Crisp, Brussels correspondent
21 February 2018 • 1:05pm




Theresa May was accused of "Brexit betrayal" by Ukip on Wendnesday after she asked the European Union to consider a longer transition period.

EU freedom of movement and the supremacy of European judges over British courts could drag on even longer after Brexit, following the UK's request.

But Gerard Batten, a Ukip MEP and the party's interim leader, said: “This is Brexit betrayal at its contemptible worst. It’s time for May to go and for a genuine Brexiteer to step up for role of Prime Minister.

"I’ve warned that closet Remainers such as May will delay and impede Brexit in the hope of later overturning the democratic wishes of the people later. This is barefaced treachery and cannot be allowed...

Yes, I saw that CI.
I cannot imagine that the courts will not provide the authority for Manx to access the documents BUT you know what the courts are like !
Fingers crossed ....
I think the documents will be VERY illuminating , IF the AG actually deliver them.
personally I have my doubts, even if the courts judgement says they have to be disclosed.

[chinese investor] 21/2/2018 12:09

Manx are going to court to get the Action Group's documents (this included details of members' "subscriptions").

"I do believe that Claimants should not pay for the Action Group's legal costs !"

I agree CI.
The problem here is that the AG are not (and never have) disclosed how they have spent claimants funds.
The annual returns provide very little information and they have never provided claimants with any accounting of how the donations have been spent.

Personally, I would like to see a forensic investigation conducted into the management of the AG and especially into how claimants funds have been expended.

There are too many questions that are not being answered.

[chinese investor] 21/2/2018 11:51

I've concluded things are progressing well.

I do believe that Claimants should not pay for the Action Group's legal costs !

Apologies for raking over the brexit coals, but given the letter maxk drew attention to, it is kind of amusing that according to the Independent ...



The British government has asked the EU to consider granting the UK a longer Brexit transition period than the one proposed by Brussels.

Still possible :-

Chinese Investor (RBS) 27 Oct '17 - 12:10
This is what I would like :-

1) Manx and Signature to organise the Settlement exclusively (TICK)
2) "The Action Group" to do no more work and be paid for their time, travel and office expenditure (£1 million at most)
3) The early Funders to be given their money back and receive no extra money - if they're not happy with that then they can sue the "Action Group" (COURT)
4) The Corporate Claimants to give us the money they owe us (ON GOING)
5) Total Costs to be Signature (£20 million), Bird & Bird (£6 million) and the "Action Group" (£1 million)

Claimants need to be verified by 30 April 2018.

Interesting jobs data this morning. The number of eastern European workers (the one's stealing our jobs and undercutting our wages) has fallen. However the number of jobless has risen especially amongst the under 24's.

Some suggestion that the prospect of higher rates is spooking employers.

[maxk] 21/2/2018 10:11

I take it to be more of a warning shot across TM's bows.

No backsliding!

[leedskier] 21/2/2018 10:04

My only contribution to that discussion is that if only 62 Tory MPs signed the letter demanding a hard brexit, it can be safely assumed that 256 of their colleagues in the HoC did not and therein lies the rub.

I don't see why the Morgan burd has got her knickers in a twist about this .. Leave means leave, not some sort off half way house that obliges us to follow another countries rules.

Good Evening Raffles..like your line of reasoning and logic...posed the same recently regarding all this hue and cry about an event long evident...

As you state shareholders have a lot more important issues to focus on...there are more than the two you mention...;

[m1k3y1] 20/2/2018 18:36

Have received the update CI.
makes for interesting reading !

[m1k3y1] 20/2/2018 16:58

Thank you for the update CI.
Looking forward to getting it later .
Would be interested to hear if they are going to go ahead with a criminal investigation

[raffles the gentleman thug] 20/2/2018 16:37

It's all pretty irrelevant now and in any case backward looking and should have no relevance beyond a paltry couple of hundred million of incremental provisioning. Meanwhile the DoJ and steepening yield curve should be of far more relevance to shareholders
