dont you think it is a coincidence, that the last time we heard anything from BLM was @ 3-4 months before the 2016 US election ?

lloy @ 5p from bottom , barc @ 40p from bottom, only reason for this is the MM's made it so

Just a little boost there, MM's tying to encourage some buyers, once they get some then they will drift the share price down again.
aljm quite correct...manipulated on a huge scale.

[aljm] 19/6/2020 09:39

And deliver the aid by plane marked in red, white and blue, lol.

Talking of which, that paint job costs less than being a member of the EU for 40 mins.

EU membership = industry encouraged to move to Eastern Europe.

New plane marking = flying the flag.

Makes sense to me.

No recession or depression out there...still seeing plenty of top end cars aka Mercs,, BMWs, Audis, SUVs on the road...where is that debt reset button?...job done...





Britain's borrowing has soared to a record £103.7bn as debt outstripped the GDP for the first time in nearly six decades.

The figure is £87bn more than the same time last year and the highest in any April-May period since current records began in 1993.

The Office for National Statistics also revealed that public sector net debt stood at £1,950.1bn at the end of May 2020.

This is equivalent to 100.9% of GDP, the first time it has been exceeded since March 1963.


Chancellor Rishi Sunak, said: "Today's figures confirm that coronavirus is having a severe impact on our public finances.

Someone asked about the risk of using Chinese 5g technology.

My first reaction is how disappointed I am that the uk cannot do the 5g technology itself.
We are non existent in consumer electronics, do not make a smart phone and have little involvement elsewhere.

I think the stories about mis trusting the Chinese are propaganda.
America fears losing leadership in key areas of the internet.
This is their problem, they hate competition.

I do not trust China Russia or America.
Edward Snowdon's revelations demonstrated the extent of Americas espionage and hacking a few years back.

A new approach to overseas aidBy JOHNREDWOOD | Published: JUNE 19, 2020Now the government has decided to unite our foreign policy with our overseas aid policy, there is a great opportunity to rethink what we do and what it achieves.41% of our aid is currently routed through multinational bodies where we have little control over how well it is spent or who receives it. The Department has worked closely with the EU all the time we were a member, allowing them to spend some of our money as well. Surely now we need to unite our efforts behind policies that work and give to countries where we wish to help.Given the big pressures on public spending brought on by the CV 19 crisis, the government should announce the new budget figure for spending this year, as 0.7% of GDP will now be a lower figure than the Treasury thought a few months ago. We should begin winding down our indirect commitments of aid, and work up a great UK programme which achieves more.The UK has done some good work on clean water, on medical services and economic development. It should concentrate its efforts in areas where we have special expertise, whilst always being ready to be generous with disaster relief. We have the ships and  manpower to make an important contribution when disaster strikes a country.We know that many countries on our aid list have been poor for any decades, and know that past aid programmes have not succeeded in breaking the evil spell of poverty. We also know that trade is more powerful than aid at raising living standards, and know it is better to teach a person to fish than to send them  fish when we remember to.Over the days ahead I am going to sketch out some ideas on how we can achieve more for countries crying out for help with development with new approaches to the support and the investments we make. I invite your comments as I do this work.  One of the ways forward could be to help finance economic development projects and business development that generates sustainable jobs whilst providing returns for investors.

'there's enough free porn on pornhub to toss yourself dry'

I was intreaged as to what pornhub is, had a look and there's all these ladies with no clothes on showing their wee wee's, then my computer froze with a nasty warning on it, pulled out the plug and went for a lie down!

Careful are you not worried about China being involved in what could be sensitive technology like 5G?
In the news they are are flexing their muscles with the USA, Hong Kong, India and have even threatened the UK.

Completly agree and imo the actions of late will create a bigger divide.
