typically 1 to 2% per year dilution from new shares for the board and employees.

Not only is that precentage killing profit for the rest of the share holders, the market is actually fnding the business year on year.

Don't understand why Utricky can't do his own doors. Not a difficult job and he must have more free time in lock down.

What has he been doing with all his time? Has he been all these months on his PS2?

The Daily Telegraph placed on a level with the Sunday Sport? Sounds about right.

The sooner the Barclay brothers find a buyer the better. The new proprietor can hardly be worse.

Scots Gaelic could die out within a decade, study finds
Language is used routinely only by a diminishing number of elderly islanders

A casual visitor to Scotland might assume that the Gaelic language is thriving, with every police car carrying the word poileas and every ambulance ambaileans. Yet in the few places where it is spoken, the language is in a profound, potentially terminal crisis.

Without radical action, Scots Gaelic will be dead within a decade, according to a study. The language is rarely spoken in the home, little used by teenagers, and used routinely only by a diminishing number of elderly Gaels dispersed across a few island communities in the Hebrides.

The study by a team of Gaelic experts and socio-linguists at the University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI) found that only 11,000 people were habitual Gaelic speakers, after a rapid decline during the 1980s when the density of native speakers fell below 80%.

It forecasts that next year’s national census will find the proportion of people in the Western Isles who speak Gaelic has fallen to nearly 45%, a figure the experts believe puts the language on the verge of non-viability.

China can do what they like now, everyone's scared of them. They probably released the virus to cause chaos around the world while they do what they want.

Patrick Minford CBE


Q: How will Brexit affect prices overall?

A: "The moment we leave the EU, and leave the CAP and the customs union, prices

fall on Day One by 8% and in the long run after that works its way through the

economy. This is the case even though we assume that over the next decade EU

protection would have fallen gradually to half its current level. It’s still 8%

because it lowers prices in the non-traded sector."

STAY WHERE EU ARE MPs back flagship immigration bill to end EU freedom of movement in the UK


MPs have backed flagship immigration legislation which seeks to end EU freedom of movement rules in the UK.

The Bill is part of the move towards the Government’s points-based immigration system, to be introduced from 2021.


It was passed at the third reading by 342 votes to 248, majority 94.

The Bill will now be considered by peers in the House of Lords.

Home Secretary Priti Patel said: “Last year the British people sent a clear message that they wanted to end free movement and our landmark Bill delivers exactly that.”

"Labour voting against this Bill shows that while their leadership may have changed, their determination to deny the will of the people has not."


Labour's Yvette Cooper, chairwoman of the Home Affairs Select Committee, earlier warned the Government not to turn its back on child refugees.

Ms Cooper said: "Desperate young people have already lost their lives, we should not turn our backs on them now, we need to sustain those safe and legal routes."
