Both purchases took place on 27 December 2019.


So really it's a buy as well :-/

"Through your lens Min!"

Of course, but my lens is shared by billions, not Little Englanders.

Time to look in the mirror old boy. ;)

evinPosted December 31, 2019 at 7:54 am | Permalink"Tomorrow I will look at how and why the next decade can be so much better."I think this is just the night before the morning after. From a recent exchange with commenter, "Pollen Counter" ("PC"), you seem to be under the impression that the ECJ's jurisdiction over the UK will terminate with the end of the WA's transition period (perhaps you are thinking of Art. 87?). This opinion, nevertheless, appears to be incorrect for the following reasons:1) PC points to Art. 158 of the WA, which raises the possibility of preliminary rulings by the ECJ concerning Part Two (citizens' rights) in cases before UK courts "which commenced at first instance within 8 years from the end of the transition period" (emphasis added);2) Arts. 160 and 136 suggest that the ECJ will have jurisdiction regarding corrections or adjustments to the EU Budget for the years up to 2020. This process is time limited, but only, it seems, for corrections or adjustments based on revisions to VAT or gross national income ("GNI"); and even then, the limit is that "the relevant measures...are decided upon no later than 31 December 2028" – again, eight years after the transition period;3) Art. 174(1) of the WA provides generally that "Where a dispute...raises a question of interpretation of a concept of [EU] law, [or of]...a provision of [EU] law referred to in this Agreement...[the ECJ] shall have jurisdiction to give...a ruling which shall be binding". This power seems to run for as long as any other provision of the WA remains applicable. Given that, for example, the OBR estimates that UK contributions to EU pensions (covered by Art. 142) will continue until the 2060s, it seems as though, under the WA, ECJ rulings may affect the UK for decades to come. (Martin Howe QC has also discussed the longevity of this clause in respect of EU citizens' rights.)

Doesn't give us anything to cheer about going into the new year, if we had a couple of hundred thousand shares that had come onto the books for free reckon there would be a good chance of some of us selling some.

OggyPosted December 31, 2019 at 8:36 am | PermalinkQuite an accurate summing up Sir John.History will not look favourably on the anti democratic forces that have been at work the last 5 years and longer.As for 2020 forwards I do worry that Boris will cave in to the EU, he must dig his heels in and stand up for Britain and the British people who have now given him a strong hand. No more EU extensions, and the future of our fishing grounds will be the litmus test of whether he becomes a statesman or just another here today, gone tomorrow politician.

[minerve 2] 31/12/2019 11:12

Best carry that out in practice then gnr. ;)

Perfidious in the extreme.

Greed is good.
Greed works.

But agree it is now out of control and no longer working across the board.

A few thoughts to mark the passing of another year of 'civilised' human existence. :-)

Consider the 'accidental' nature of many things that humans take as central truths. The related concepts of 'Country', and 'Race' for example. Countries and 'Race' are only the resultant of Human migration over time. There is only one 'Race' and we're all Human.

Happy New Year to all members of this one species.

Totally agree utrickytrees ,

As i understand it Scotland is the only country keeping to its budget, which is balanced each year.
Time for England to pay its own way for its own infrastructure. Makes me so angry about how England runs its affairs.

Greed at the Top endemic throughout all large company Boardrooms and growing in the smaller companies too !
