3.5 billion shares +

How many millions of skint so called capitalists vote Tory?

It makes you laugh. Haven't got a tenner to rub between them most of them.

It is of such importance that you'd think that the BBC, the British Broadcasting Corporation, might mention and discuss it online - actually, no, you wouldn't.

Here's how it ends:

"Overall, at this moment in negotiations, what is on offer is not a fair free trade relationship between close economic partners, but a relatively low-quality trade agreement coming with unprecedented EU oversight of our laws and institutions.

It does not have to be like this. I remain convinced that it would be very straightforward for us to agree a modern and high-quality FTA and other separate agreements, like those you have agreed with other close partners around the world, and that we could do so quickly.

I do hope that in the weeks to come the EU will think again about its proposals in a way that will enable us to then find a rapid and constructive alternative way forward.

I am copying this letter to Jeppe Tranholm-Mikkelsen, Secretary General of the Council, and David McAllister at the European Parliament."

Any Tory politician who was chose by his party to replace Theresa May and then go on to become PM after his party was elected by the people and giving Labour it biggest electoral defeat since 1935, has taken us out of the undemocratic one rule fits all EU and refuses to continue giving up UK territorial fishing waters to the former, whose member states have plundered our waters for decades, at the age of 55, has survived from being infected by a killer virus, in my book can take a day off any time he likes, knowing having experienced being close to death that his cabinet ministers can run the country by follow the rules he has set down, can in my book, take a nap every afternoon of the week.

Not many on here would bother reading the letter, 5xy, but here's the link:

Sources from inside the Tory party have informed me he has been in bed for four days over the last week.

Not a great situation considering Covid and Brexit extension deadline.

Let us consider the facts:

(1) Boris catches Covid after ignoring scientific advice by shaking everyone's hand.
(2) Boris divorces wife of longstanding and gets needy 30 year old GF pregnant within months of dating her. They have hardly lived together, they are not married, she has a history of baggage, volatility and moving on - so does he.

They don't come across to me as the sort of predicaments sensible and intelligent people get themselves into. All these extra stresses he has created for himself are ALL self-inflicted.

And we have chosen him as our leader. Honestly, you idiots need your heads examining.

I note from the "News" in the heading above that Lloyds have given themselves the facility to raise 25 billion pounds as and when needed by selling notes.

The money is to be used for "General business purposes".

I wonder if this is adversely affecting the share price at the moment. Perhaps there might be an explanation tomorrow as to what some or all of this money is likely to be needed for.

Hey gadfly Mini, even Cameron took his statutory paternity leave! Boris is enduring sleepless nights don't you know, then deals with Brexit and Covid in long summertime daylight hours.

margaret beckett on da box rabbiting on about Rolls Royce.

God help the man who has to wake up looking at that battleaxe in the morning. Pig ugly she is... We need some tasty skirt in politics to spruce things up. These selection committees for new candidates have a lot to answer for. As long as we don't get a load of feminists as they are a pain in the ass. Just some tasty tottie would do the trick. Make politics far more interesting.

Boris is spending most of his days in bed. We have a part-time PM at the most critical time in modern history.

The guy is a liability, always has been, always will be.

In life, I try to stay well clear of clowns like this. If you don't they fail and go down and drag them with you.

Unfortunately the gammons in our society mean we are stuck with the clown for the time-being.

with the number of shares the directors keep giving themselves, it might not.

Anyone seen Bojo recently?

Last I heard he was hiding behind the sofa!

Our mate Nicola is doing the daily briefing up north of the border. Pair of coconuts that woman has dangling between her legs, not like the wimps in the Tory party, south of the border.

Tories are history and will be blown out of existance for the pigs ear they have made of this conronavirus affair.

TRCML, that still leaves the big money boys to sell what they don't own (a crime in the real world) and manipulate the shares and value in that company. It's not unreal to think previously they did not have one penny invested there. It's just the target of the week/month to make some lovely money at someone else's expense.

"You want to have the cake and eat it...regardless or up or down..."

I cannot think of any other market-place where it's possible to make money whether prices go up or own. (At least not any other that so readily grasped as the stock market).

One thing I omitted to mention in my op is that the second-hand aspect of the stock market is popular with private investors because people love a market and bargain-hunting. Also, with an IPO, although there can be first mover advantage, an IPO is arguably riskier because there is no certainty of not over-paying. The second-hand market provides an element of reassurance that the price would not be as is if other buyers had doubts.
