Vile slug Sir Anthony Baldry, Tory MP for Banbury until May 7^th has long been associated with colourful outside business interests. He was involved with the AIM fraud 3DM but his latest oriental enterprises really are the most amazing yet. Yes, Sir Tony is linked into the scandal that is AIM listed Gate Ventures (GATE). I shall demonstrate the link later but for now I shall start with a remarkable photo.

A room was hired in Parliament last year at which Sir Tony presided at a ceremony at which two prominent Chinese Businessmen were awarded titles. The titles are in fact the ones that can be bought and sold on the open market “Lords of the Manor”. These titles are hereditary but can also be traded, it currently costs around £20,000 to pick one up.

They do not make you a lord or a knight or anything in fact other than the owner of a title of “Lord of the manor of” of wherever so there should be no ceremony involved.

The businessmen picking up the titles were a Mr Zhu (17% shareholder in Gate Ventures) and head honcho of Gatewang (more later) and his Gatewang colleague Mr Zhen. Sir Anthony Baldry is a NED at Gatewang.

In the Chinese press the reporting – no doubt spun by Gatewang was colourful. Chinese readers will be able to translate this article “CEO Knighted in The United Kingdom

I shall demonstrate why the Gatewang & Gate link is so toxic for all concerned before too long. Are you sweating comfortably Sir Antony you disgusting piece of excrement?

Wow, who would have thought on first impressions such a shitty shell company such as GATE would have such a story behind it and maintain such bizarre price activity.

Really interesting to see what will happen with the GATE listing re:AIM/LSE

Read on the LSE loon boards that some shorters had been closed out by SB firms as they just cannot borrow the shares. Maybe a piece on the perils of illiquid stocks and shorting would be good one to come from this. Pu this in with QPP, DAN, WRN, SER in the “stocks that keep on giving” category.
