Wetherspoon ( J.d.) Share Discussion Threads

I'm neither defending, nor condemning Boris for this, because I bet all those critics, like Starmer, Sturgeon, Khan and co. would not have fared any better. This has been an unprecedented event, not encountered for many years. It's easy to point the finger and say what he should do but I wonder if they would fare any better? All they have done, is snipe and criticise him. Every step he takes, is wrong, in the eyes of one of them. How many times have they offered support and assistance, in trying to beat this? All they care about is bringing him and The Government down. Hypocrites, all of them. They should remember, the people should come first and they should help, by putting their political differences aside.

I was saying to someone recently its almost as though we could be taken over by mob rule .The police was running away from protesters in the summer then the scenes in Nottingham .Never seen nothing like it .Fines you are having a laugh .https://youtu.be/BI6uM78J8Xghttps://youtu.be/iUKaehaLg7M

I will second that Gozzie. Police are almost extinct in M/c. If you phone them you just get an answering machine. Then if your query doesnt fit neatly into one of their little options you've had it. If you do miraculously manage to get through you can almost hear the operator yawn and you realise you are wasting your time. I used to think people who rang 999 for things other than emergencies were nobs but I now reckon its just shear bloody frustration. Its one of the reasons why there are so many raves. Kids dont give a f* cos they know police dont really give a f*. Everyone's give up. Sad but the place is out of control.

They will be having house parties for fun theres no enforcement .It may be OK where you live but around the manchester area ive not seen any police for years .They do as they please .

[gozzie2] 31/10/2020 21:37

Maybe the US but they are going to face similar problems to us in winter .

[gozzie2] 31/10/2020 21:36

I am pessimistic lol .But I'm always correct .I've probably jinxed the prediction now .I hope I am wrong tbh its not a nice time xmas for lonely people .They find it hard xmas as it is .

[tim 3] 31/10/2020 21:35

FWIW I think the US will rally after the election whatever the result.

GOZZIE2222 - Our little ray of sunshine.

This too will pass.

If, and it is a big if, people use common sense and all keep their distance, surely we are in with a chance of moving on quite quickly.

A lot of bad news in the market which is known, hard to see a dramatic disaster.
But........

[gozzie2] 31/10/2020 20:54

I've got a feeling this won't be a month lockdown .Figure's hospitalisations death will rise next 2 to 3 weeks then that r rate has to fall .That will be very close to 2nd December. Can you really see everything opening back up pubs etc and people going mad again at Xmas. I can't we shall see .

[konradpuss] 31/10/2020 20:34

here we go.

1. There will be a BREXIT deal - it's in everyones interest.

2. There will be a result from the US election so less uncertainty.

Now I am not calling the bottom however I think you should dribble money back into your sellected stocks over the next few months. Remember 'only monkey pickie bottom'.

[lodgeview] 31/10/2020 20:20

FTSE 3000 soon

[gozzie2] 31/10/2020 20:10

[essentialinvestor] 31/10/2020 19:54

Main financial issue may be round of fund raising accross the sector to come fwiw.

[ignoble] 31/10/2020 19:51

Could be worse....
U. S. Election next week too

Brexit negotiations ongoing

Lots of reasons to be bullish, lol
Probably not..

glenowen, the one eyed Albanian saying was a Robert Maxwell favourite if I remember correctly.

I am on your side, long term Wetherspoons will be the winner. Just like in the low cost airline sector Ryanair will be the winner.

And as the old saying goes about share prices 'only monkey pickie bottom'.

[tim 3] 31/10/2020 19:34

FTSE down about 100 with the bookies if anyone interested.

[gozzie2] 31/10/2020 19:33

[guitarhaggis] 31/10/2020 19:12

Oh ok, just thought you may have been referring to me.

Carry on as you were. :0)

[gozzie2] 31/10/2020 19:04

One on this board said there was no cases of flu in the world this year and there wouldn't be a lockdown did they not .Even Boris said there wouldn't be one when Starmer asked for it .

[johnwise] 31/10/2020 18:50
