The Wheels on the Car Go Round, Round, Round and this Rattling Good Mover Makes the Most of it

Hello Share Clickers. This hoary old punter isn’t a fan of motor cars. I’ve not driven one for years. So I’ve not looked at Auto Trader (AUTO) before. But it seems to me a jolly investment at the moment.

Why I am happy to keep on avoiding Auto Trader shares

Just over a year ago, I concluded that I was fundamentally unexcited about both Auto Trader (AUTO) and Rightmove (RMV). Whilst I was correct about the latter, the former is actually up about 5% over the last year (and pays a small dividend too). I must admit that I am a bit confused by that, as today’s full year to the end of March numbers may have shown a 16% rise in revenue, but they also showed a 9% fall in profit.

I'm a Reform member Eric but Restore are just getting in the way. An alliance between Reform and the Tories would be ideal, but I doubt it will happen. The country is in a dire state - the perfect re-run of the 1970's. We've even got a Chancellor with the same surname - only difference is the other one had hair.

You think you've dismissed what he said, but you've actually made it worse by highlighting the layer upon layer upon layer of taxpayer money that is lavished on seemingly doing everything possible to stop these criminals from being removed from a country they broke into, and have no right to remain in.All whilst, of course, lavishing large salaries and pensions benefits on the self-congratulatory lanyard classes that have built this system at immense taxpayer expense to give themselves something to do all day, instead of you know, actually doing something that contributes taxes to and benefits this country.

The plumber story once again illustrates how indigenous British people are bottom of the pile in this country. What makes this worse, and I hear of plenty of other similar examples, is that the Government deny this is happening. This is being done purposely to cause anger and more division for the simply fact that a divided Nation is easier to conquer.

You overstate the effect of the Greenland agreement. The US has had a base on Greenland for decades and has always had the right to expand it, but has chosen not to invest the money to do so. There is no evidence whatsoever that the new agreement will change this. Trump’s attention span is so short that once the signing has been done, he will lost interest in the whole matter.

Can failed asylum seekers get free government funding for training in trades such as plumbing? Not in the way Tom suggested.Under the Adult Skills Fund rules, asylum seekers are eligible for funding if they have lived in the UK for 6 months or longer while their claim is still being considered and no decision has been made. Someone whose claim has been refused qualifies only in limited cases: they have appealed and no decision has come within six months of lodging the appeal, or they receive section 4 support or certain local authority support. Someone who has exhausted their appeals and has no lawful status generally falls outside it. The funding rules list those who are here without authority or lawful status among those who aren't eligible.Some context on the claim as it's being framed:• The funding is for course fees at eligible providers. It isn't a cash grant or loan, and plumbing isn't singled out. It applies to whatever funded courses the learner is eligible for.• The current viral version comes from a social media post. It says a British adult over 23 can face costs of up to £6,000 for the same courses. UK-born adults can also get full funding in some circumstances, such as low earnings, but the rules are complicated and vary by area.The rules are set nationally by the Department for Education, with devolved areas like London running their own versions, so a specific provider or region may apply them slightly differently.
