Mothercare can’t say its screwed too often

Today Mothercare (MTC) has won the lottery. But £800,000 is not enough and it still reminds investors that it is screwed. Its shares are worthless yet folks hang on for three different but equally spurious reasons.

Mothercare: what is the point? Another warning, it’s the balance sheet again!

The real problem with Mothercare (MTC) is, as I have pointed out for years, is that it is an utterly pointless concept. Years ago parents and grandparents would visit its stores as it offered what we wanted for babies and young kids. Then came the internet. Why would anyone make a dedicated trip to buy something you can get more cheaply on the internet? I suppose there are maternity bras…

There is no doubt that Israel is a genocidal , ethnic cleansing , extreme right apartheid state .The states formation stemmed from Zionist terrorism in the early 20th century. You conflate Israel Zionist extremism with the views of all Jews . Israeli Zionists have and are committing genocide and ethnic cleansing and their leaders have openly stated that as their aims . Jews world wide are not all Zionists and clearly are not all committing genocide or enabling it . It is an Israel specific problem . It is notable that Israeli Zionists have killed 70,000 Palestinians since OCT 7th . More notable is that Israeli Zionists have killed more Palestinians ( 1500) since the current cease fire came into effect than the number of actual victims of the Oct 7th attacks .

Mans inhumanity to man. seems to know no bounds.Though in the UK you can hold demonstrations in favour of terrorists but not against criminals invading from France.The main stream media. The education system in the UK and others seems to push a Jew bad, muslim good agenda. I am still trying to deprogramme my daughter after her 4 years at university. Not to change her mind but to think more critically. As the muslim population in the UK goes over 10%. How long before we are all faced with changing our religion. Of not only jews hiding who they are but of Christians. Homosexuals hiding who they are.Soon over 30% of those who bother to vote will be in the hands of a few thousand imams. Of course there is no family or mosque voting.

But not such good news about Non-Executive Director Graham Stewart selling 1m of his AMRQ shares "for personal reasons"… Had it been any other company, you would be calling this a red flag.

There is nothing to stop us entering the French side of the channel and returning them to France. Just political will.Claim each pick up is a rescue or humanitarian and take them to the nearest safest harbour, which would always be French.As part of the £600million plus we give the French, we could always use some of this to persuade them.Brexit has also caused global warming, the Japanesse Yen to collapse and Brexit is the reason behind AI.Brexit is the left wing excuse for everything as immigration is the right wing excuse for everything.In my mind the real reason behind all of the UKs issues is very poor Prime Ministers and politicians of all colours since November 1990. Unbelievably getting worse with each leader since. You think they can not get any worse and then they do!
