The Lefties shiver at the thought. The sheer cheek of people wanting to earn and spend their own money. It goes against nanny state Socialist thinking. How else can we provide non jobs for public sector wallors and keep benefits slobs living a life of riley?

I'd imagine that most of the benefits slobs are flag waving Labour supporters.

And now you're 19 1/4 you're an expert on everything.

I guess we'll find out in due course. If it is just tax avoidance then it's disgusting that these peoples private details have been leaked and i'd hope legal action followed against wikileaks and the rogue ex banker.

I thought that too, but isn't it amazing how our pet lefties never broke a sweat when private sector workers were feeling the pinch. They don't care about the country, all they care about is protecting their plod along made up jobs.

The way I see it the more our left wing comrades complain the better. It shows that the government are dispensing the medicine properly.

Fair play to those who take advantage of offshore accounts. It's no different to me and you investing in an ISA.

As a taxpayer I do have some sympathy for the people in made up non jobs that will have to find a real job, but also as tax payer I don't want to pay high taxes to keep these people in their non jobs. I applaud the coalition for tackling Labours mess head on and making difficult decisions for the good of the country.

It would be a disaster for the country.

Alpine might be at both of these games too. All this "i'm a better fan than you" is very boring.

I'd like to hear Alpine Saints views on this.

Just released: http://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/24626/noventa-exploration-work-finds-marropino-ore-body-extends-further-than-previously-known-24626.html Currently available at 13.98p which surprises me. Decided to have a punt.

The white one or the black and white one?

Try Tunisia.

From the list above have had a look through some of the different ones in the list above and there was some serious buys in NVTA towards the end of the day on Friday... http://noventa.net/index.html Seems they are one of these rare earth miners. MMM, looks like the boat has been missed (for now) as up 7.89% on TSX http://tmx.quotemedia.com/quote.php?qm_symbol=nta so London should catch up first thing tomorrow and looking at the trend (3 steps forward and 2 steps back) not a good entry point.

Keep a very close eye on CLF. Both them and RRS saw their prices decline on Friday with the incumbent president of Ivory Coast talking tough in the face of increasing pressure. The EU have imposed sanctions upon the regime and even Africas leaders might amaze us all and show some continental leadership with Nigeria and Kenya applying pressure: http://www.trust.org/alertnet/news/update-2-eu-freezes-ivory-coast-port-and-bank-assets Without the Crisis CLF's would now be north of 150p, but despite the crisis haven't as yet declined sub 100 because it has such huge potential. I think this share could be picked up at 100p next week, maybe as low as 90p, but with limited prospect of military intervention Gbagbo could hold out for several months before he feels the pinch. Therefore it's one I think prudent to watch as there is a bargain to be had maybe sub 60p as investors panic as the situation deteriorates. Edit: Ignore the 60p, it isn't going to drop that low and with it's assets in Burkino Faso and Siera Leone to offset the trouble in Ivory coast. Anywhere between 90p and 100p would be a very profitable entry point IMO and we could see that next week, but is as good a time as any to buy at 110p. It will have doubled to 200p by the end of the year. It's a real bargain.

I like Stamford - very nice Georgian town. If you get time visit Burghley house - you'll struggle to visit a better Elizabethan country house. They have the worlds largest solid silver wine cooler on display - it's priceless and very impressive!

has anyone else noticed the ugly fat skate and her boyfriend in their gobsh1te shirts in the front row of the snooker?

This is where i'd like to invest. I can see the SP dropping back tomorrow (next week) and 14p would be a good entry point. A lot of potential for 2011. http://www.bpcplc.com/home

You are very tedious.

No, I couldn't be arsed.

I got sat next to a Socialist at the footie yesterday. I couldn't be arsed to get into a discussion so chose to ignore his comments.

I didn't realise you'd tipped it. In at 27p ish recently. It should have plenty left in it. Welldone for getting in at 9p. DPL aren't isa'able sadly so not for me...

Went today a picked a cracking game. We looked tired and had no answer for Notts defence. Boring.
