It's rather pointless voting for you to have a holiday in your luxury Greek hovel, even though your correct assessment played out the way you said it would.I've read all of the entries and there are some good ones there, not least Steve's piece on Zinc. I liked Pete's ECOB entry - fairly obvious he would write about that - but it isn't really a short or a zero, according to him.I shall re-read the others before voting.As for Andy Pandy - words fail me. I'd probably end up in prison if I wrote what I think of him and his government. WELL INFORMED is spot-on with his comments.
I have to take issue with the word despise. You said it twice. I’m no Burnham apologist and most of what you say about him I accept. There is no knowledge or understanding of business seemingly in the cabinet and that’s a great shame however the 5 iterations of Tory prime minister between 2010 and 2024 were absolutely no better. Farage has no answers except spewing bile and offering uncosted giveaways. Farage is worthy of being despised. Pedophile in chief Trump is worthy of being despised. Tommy Robinson et al and murderous Putin are much higher on the list than Burnham. I’m calling you out because I’ve never heard you use that word to describe any of the others.

There was a presentation that suggested that The British Empire cost The British Taxpayer far more than the funds generated by the Empire.The People who Benefitted from the empire were individual wealthy families.
If Burnham had any sense (which he hasn't), and any morals or decency (which he certainly hasn't) he'd know who to blame.Rachel Thieves - the ex-lying Chancellor. She laid the framework for the destruction of the UK economy, and Nosferatu will follow in her footsteps.That's why Poundland has gone under.
Yes the gold rush principle works well in so many similar scenarios.The people who sell the equivalent of the pic axe and shovels are the ones who make the money.
I think a number of commentators did point out that gold was over extended when it suddenly shot up to 5500.However since then there has been a consistent failure to assess the impact of the ongoing wars.In both Ukraine and the gulf there has been a perception that the wars would be over quickly.I dont know what is going to happen but unless there is a fundamental change in world events the short term pressure on miners will surely be negative .The impact of the speed of the fall in Gold has been to materially effect the free cash flow being generated.
