Oh right..I gave up with iii sometime ago. Porty's English is just about passable for a migrant, hence my question about what his first language is.

500k protesting in Washington. How many arrested? 0 How many arrested in London? 0


Clearly they should all die for that (your collective punishment idea has the rantings of a madman). You have also previously stated you are never going to vote again. Probably because you can't spell "X".

Dr Biotech,

Quite. The fascist underbelly of England has slithered out of the woodwork since given licence by the Referendum and the absurdity of the malignant existence of Trump.

Off topic:

Could some kind person here with access to the iii site post up my Barc COMP entry:

Democracy must be upheld or the nation dies , To go against a democratic vote is not good If you think that a democratic vote should be turned over by violent marches then its the end ,

Barc went up with Trump and I reckon it will slump when he gets impeached.

He moves closer to this every passing day:

Barclays has divulged its plan for for shifting jobs out of the UK after Brexit. It’s surprisingly benign.

After last week’s warning from Jamie Dimon that J.P. Morgan’s Brexit-induced job movement might be “more than we’d hoped for” and suggestions that anything from 20% (UBS) to 50% (Goldman Sachs) of London banking jobs could be displaced by the divorce, Brexit pessimists had the upper hand. Barclays has slapped then down again.

The British bank’s plan makes Brexit look inconsequential. Bloomberg reports that, ‘if UK-based finance companies lose easy access to the trading bloc,” then Barclays is planning to, “add about 150 staff,” to a new European hub in Dublin. Given that Barclays’ investment bank employs an estimated 10,000 people in the UK, the implication is that fewer than 2% of the bank’s British jobs would be affected. Teacups have seen bigger storms.

Barclays’ apparent conclusion that Brexit is no big deal comes after CEO Jes Staley suggested it’s more of an administrative issue than anything else. “Same people, same traders, you have to book a trade in Ireland as opposed to London, but that’s not a wholesale move of our capability from London to Ireland,” he told the Financial Times last week. Nonetheless, Bloomberg suggests Barclays could move some FX traders and “derivative specialists” to Dublin, along with compliance and HR staff. If Dublin becomes Barclays’ main office in Europe, Staley indicated that Barclays’ Frankfurt office could then become a branch of its Dublin operation – which seems a blow to Frankfurt’s post-Brexit aspirations.

As I suspected, probably many competitors in the Barc game have read my last post but are ignoring it to aid their own chances! A dastardly bunch.

Reports of my demise are much exaggerated!

Disliking somebody or their politics is not a justification to call for them to be shot - that is really not an appropriate comment....! Jo Cox is one victim too many of that kind of thing.
