Mark BPosted June 5, 2020 at 5:30 am | PermalinkGood morningThe Chinese government signed a legally binding treaty with the UK. If it cannot be trusted to keep its word on this, then it cannot be trusted on anything.

Ian WraggPosted June 5, 2020 at 5:50 am | PermalinkChina is a pariah state and should be treated as such. Trump as usual is ahead of the game much to the annoyance of the BBC.Letting China take control of large parts of our power network and commications is an act of unbridled stupidity.Get the country working again and stop these silly games.If you don't get a handle on this cross channel ferry service you will lose all the so called red wall at the next election. Farage will se to that.

China
it was a loan and not a grant.
have u looked at BASF BS?

[chinahere] 05/6/2020 20:13

Mmmm. I only hope that it was a shrewd loan and we will be able to grasp the assets should they prefer to leave and take the money.

Just read that BASF got a £1 billion loan but they only employ around 850 people in the UK - how is that right!?

HSBC. 300000+ could be heading to UK soon. ...Robert Morgan5 Jun 2020 1:08PMPerhaps it will choose to be a bank somewhere other than the U.K. or HK? The Bank reviews its Group domicile every five years as a matter of course, and there are certainly other contenders. The U.K. has hardly done the bank any favours in the last ten years and being hounded by the British press for being one of the largest contributors to HMRC's purse is a privilege that I'm sure would be gladly relinquished. There was a time not so long ago that spinning off the U.K. entity was being touted as a way to avoid some of the ridiculous punitive tax proposals that emerged following the financial crisis. China might turn out to be a friendlier bed-fellow than Britain, and remember where the HSBC shareholder centre of gravity sits: the U.K. was originally just a bolt-hole designed in the late eighties to hedge against the risk of disruption of the 1997 HK handover to China. This hedge may have run its course....LikeReplyPaula Hill5 Jun 2020 1:21PM@Robert Morgan Well then....byeee.....and shut the door your way out, there's a good chap.2LikeReplyjonathan steel5 Jun 2020 2:22PM@Robert Morgan I suspect quite a few of HSBC's wealthier shareholders with UK passports will shortly prefer to relocate to the UK.LikeReplyCheryl Davies5 Jun 2020 5:05PM@jonathan steel @Robert Morgan Very true

EU we want what we want -but we are broke
We ignore the fact we are broke and insist we want what we want.
The estate agent will take the sign down - bcos there are no bidders for the EU we want.
Is the auction just WTO.
Soon to be seen

EU blackmail... If you don't do what we ask we will allow all refugees to go to UK and refuse their return.
Surely that is not only blackmail it is also against EU rules about the first safe country. Which is of course France/ Belgium/Greece/Spain/Italy.

The EU has lately showed it's true colours. They are a disgusting shower of pigs and the world will be watching what a fascist little empire the EU has turned into.
The sooner it's wrapped up the sooner Europe can get back to being a group of independent countries free to trade with whoever they choose. With their own currencies. After living in France for 7 years my eyes were opened to what the future held and we decided it was not for us so we quickly sold up and returned. What a good decision that was. We now see property prices in the south west have nearly halved and people still can't sell.

BASF borrowed and will have to pay it back
CF SE who have been given a grant - not repayable.
I thought the condition for SE grant was significant impact on business - yet HMRC has gifted a translator i know a grant without questioning significant impact - for her nil.
managing anything assumes competence in Gov and relate agencies - managing Gov is down to scrutiny by - anyone competent.
Ever since Gordon Brown said light touch was appropriate - frauds galore.

The UK has become only the second country to report more than 40,000 coronavirus deaths, according to the latest government figures.

I've also got Altria as well on a 9% covered dividend yield.

I've got baby Berkshire Hathaway shares. I bought them when people were worried about Buffett selling his airline stocks at a loss. He is sat on a cash mountain and will not buy just because idiots on the DOW think life is back to normal - which it isn't. When the reports come through covering the economic fall out that is when Buffett will move, and me too.
