The Conservatives put up a candidate who is a member of the Orange Lodge & Apprentice Boys of Derry in the town which is the go-to cliché for jokes about sectarianism. He came fourth.

They really need to make an unedited version available online. The edited version is hilarious but I’m sure the stuff they can’t broadcast is next-level.

This whole business model is dreadful. I can fully understand why so many people resort to illegal streams.

It would make sense if you had advance notice of an announcement and were in a position to short the stock. Then when he back tracks & it doesn’t happen you buy back cheap, again just before the announcement. But that would be illegal insider dealing…

This one irritates me enormously. Not ‘maybe later’ but ‘absolutely never ever’.
I tried it once and it went all algorithmy. Yuck.

I’m far from an expert & genuinely asking to inform myself better. Thanks for engaging.

It’s a curious paradox. With physical goods & services, increased demand usually drives down price. Yet in equities, it can go the other way. If company is 100% public then there’s finite stock & growing demand. But at lower %ages, surely companies releasing new stock would drive prices down?

This gives the saver a guarantee that the purchasing power of their money is preserved whilst simultaneously incentivising government to keep inflation low to ensure their borrowing costs are minimised.

I have some questions!
If the £500Bn you mention in the article had been used to purchase shares, would that large increase in demand not risk depressing prices?
Would a better solution for the risk-averse not be a better National Savings scheme whereby citizens lend to govt @ RPI/CPI.

Absolutely. They must not allow this under any circumstances.

Spot on. Media need to stop venerating the rich as ‘wealth creators’. They absolutely are not. They’re hoarders. Government needs to step up and properly redistribute. If that causes some tears among the hyper-rich then so be it. They’ll still be hyper rich.

Same goes for changing rooms. A single area with lockable door in which to disrobe. Make some bigger for accessible use. Simple.
