PC #507. Other domestic farms on that basis should not receive any 'foreign' handouts. Would they agree with you?

[patientcapital] 05/6/2020 16:15

Fortunately not. Unlike some we are profitable without subsidies. And we certainly wouldn't be looking for foreign handouts.

[alphorn] 05/6/2020 16:11

M2 - correct; that agreement was not some personal contract signed off by May.

Geco, not a problem my wisdom is for those who choose enlightenment, wise words pass freely over those who chose the path of the "old boy".I have to say I actually agree with a lot of what you have to say on here to be honest, except the obvious Covid19 thing. Either way I hope you're making a killing, my portfolio is of diverse banking stocks. Absolutely up to the balls now past the scrout, I have been waiting for a moment like this for my whole trading career since my training in Bridgetown Barbados. Good luck.

PC - why was it particularly noteworthy about BASF?

[minerve 2] 05/6/2020 15:58

Your farm will be looking for handouts soon patient. People in glass houses and all that. :)

The political agreement was signed when BORIS WAS IN POWER!

"German chemicals giant BASF has emerged as the largest recipient of the Bank of England’s Covid-19 "

WHO CARES? IF THEY QUALIFY SO WHAT?

At least it is a rather large blue chip chemicals company and not some dodgy unaccountable outfit linked to a Tory donor.

It doesn't matter who agreed it. It was agreed by the UK government and that is all we need to know. All because we change Tory leaders like the weather is no fault of the EU's and if we had sincerity and integrity - you know, what decent people used to have - then we would honour that agreement whether we like it or not and even if it is to our detriment. There is a very severe cost to be paid when integrity is lost. If you don't like the agreement blame the Tory party for its incompetent don't blame Barnier.

Interesting"The German chemicals giant BASF has emerged as the largest recipient of the Bank of England's Covid-19 emergency funding scheme despite only employing 834 people in Britain" The Times

Min.

That one sided agreement was a Treeza and Olly production.

It cost her job in the end. And never got it approved.

Boris was elected on a quite different mandate.

[minerve 2] 05/6/2020 15:42

No competitive tenders. No accountability. Just corrupt government. We might as well have Putin. At least he is a proper leader. A man amongst men and would whip poor little Boris in a mind or physical fight.

[minerve 2] 05/6/2020 15:40

Billions going to the mates of Boris and co and it is OUR money taxpayers. I just don't get how this doesn't make you morons angry.

Anyone remember Cambridge Analytica?

Anyone following Faculty and Palantir? The contracts now released show that the companies involved, including Faculty and Palantir, were originally granted intellectual property rights (including the creation of databases), and were allowed to train their models and profit off their unprecedented access to NHS data.

Anyone have links to these guys?

There was a political declaration that both sides spent a great deal of time on and agreed last year. If Boris and Co are just going to run a steamroller through it all like a group of spoilt public school boys what was the point putting all the effort in to agreeing one in the first place? More importantly, what sort of message does this send out to other countries we are looking to do business with?


Come on, please grow up, we are not in your world of window and toilet cleaning for a fiver here and a tenner there. This is the UK government!
