History proves you wrong, the 1974 oil crisis was of the same magnitude if not higher and yet dependence on the middle east has not significantly shifted since then, the global economy still relies heavily on middle eastern production despite repeat shocks and the explosion of poltically neutral hydrocarbons from US shale. The north sea is in decline and the UK politically is reluctant to expand production and east asia still has not been able to exploit its reservoirs. Major production will continue to come out of the middle east and its not a matter of desire but necessity. The middle east petro states have long been able to sway global politics and will likely continue to do so in the next 10-15 years. Especially as IOC's and shale operators have been the black sheep of investments because of ESG. That's not to say that nothing will ever change, there will likely be pushes to end hydrocarbon dependence through nuclear in places where its poltically feasible but saying a significant market share of hydrocarbons can be shifted out of the middle east is wrong at least in the short and medium term. The economics of this kind of oil production is simply too alluring in a world addicted to hydrocarbons.
Lol. Guardian UK reporting that a bunch of polymarket accounts were created right before ceasefire and made their first and only bets on it that profited hundreds of thousands of dollars. I wonder who that could be?
Great idea! Also, France and UK should go nuclear over who controls the E̶n̶g̶l̶i̶s̶h̶ channel
> You guys need to start campaigning for a tax efficient wrapper on your accounts. > In UK here we pay zero tax on any gains within a Stocks and Shares ISA account, no matter how well they perform.

ya, i dunno why my brain thought UK was an abreviation for Ukraine....
Everyone focused on Iran but real shit is going on in Russia/UK. Its like WW2 levels of casualties
Thank you for the link, I'm used to most comments lime this being the equivalent to a bloke down the pub told me. I assume you are an American and don't live in the UK. The problem that is occurring with the censorship you are referencing is probably, cases such like Lucy Connolly who posted during racial tensions which turned violent on July 29th 2024 and I am quoting here "Mass deportation now, set fire to all the fucking hotels full of the bastards for all I care? While you're at it, take the treacherous government and politicians with them". The hotels in question were housing asylum seekers. When charged Connolly actually pleaded guilty to offences under Section 19 of the Public Order Act 1986. It was only after her release from prison she has become a champion of the right wing as a free speech martyr.
Can we not forget the fact that the US transported a bunch of their heaviest aerial bombers from the UK, that are chilling near the Gulf Region now? Who says a surprise strike is off the table once this goes even more south?
Brent crude is the way. They’re about to be stopping shorter flights in UK.
Yeah, for now. Europe and the UK are going through some psychological issues where they're about to have to contend with the fact that their survival depends on them abandoning all of those years of propping up "green energy". I don't think that process should take very long, but they are stubborn as hell, too. So, yeah, that would be a fantastic buy opportunity, I think. Yeah. Man. I'll dig into that when I get home . . . that's going to be a gold mine.
What UK based stocks you holding?
UK-based extraction doesn't seem to be affected. I've entered Tirupati Graphite and Jangada Mines recently; both are niche enough that their own rhythms are more important than macro effects. Very low liquidity, however.
We have a law in the UK called incitement to violence. Or to give it its correct name, offences under Section 27 of the Public Order Act 1986. All the UK has done is applied 40 year old legislation to the online space. Any of the things said on public forums on the Internet that are landing people in jail, are things thst if said or printed in meat space would have landed you with the same sentence. People just seem to think the laws don't apply online.
Israel and the US are one entity. Why would America just let them do whatever they wanted with no accountability? Israel is a very useful attack dog for the Americans to basically launder the most inhuman and unpopular actions into, especially because Israel has basically free rein to do whatever it wants. Like genuinely Israel I think could bomb america or the UK and we would be told it’s ok somehow.
More like 3 step backwards, 10 steps backward. We had the JCPOA. Iran wasn't going to get nuclear weapons. 90% of the sanctions still remained while they had ballistic weapons. Russia, EU, China, UK, Iran, and US were all in on this agreement. But Israel wasn't and Obama is Black so it had to go.
You can't really say much about Israel online without getting permabanned, they control all the platforms aside from twitter which is and always was for stupid people anyway. Idk, I'm seeing them try to push through chat control laws, UK arresting people for their whatsapp messages and online posts. I think its pretty obvious the west is being pushed into a police state by the wealthy. Every country is getting a slightly different thing, but it will all converge over time.
The world is a big fkng messy hoax. As soon as you understand that there are no good guys and they are all (mostly) in the same team, you stop paying attention to the background noise (news). You can see right through them, follow the money trail, follow their hypocrisy, see who makes profit on misfortune (Blackrock/Vanguard), see who's a financial partner with who ( Qatar/USA/EU/UK) , then see who's sponsoring terrorists like Al Qaeda, The Taliban Hamas. You might find the same names. It's a big monopoly game, the world is rotten and twisted beyond your belief, humanity has great potential, but the human race is a... I'd say a cancer
As a UK investor we really have to thank Trump for getting us these discounts at the start of the tax year, perfect for our ISAs
The UK is being stupid again.
>During the June 2025 bombing they were only in indirect talks through Oman that were going nowhere. They were indirect talk, because the orange bufoon tore an agreement that Iran had complied to and which triggered inflation that wiped out 90% of Iranians savings (b4 35k Rials =1 USD, after (700k Rials=1 USD). It completely discredited the Reformists and Moderates and ironically, the sanctions on oil shipments made some elites who had ties to the IRGC very wealthy because they were the one controlling the black market and shadow fleet. Meanwhile, Iran saw an unprecedented brain drain and their lack of access to the swift system made it nearly impossible to import life saving medecine. Discontent in the society rose, hard-liners became popular again. At that point Khamenei had came out to say that negotiating with the US was a game of deception and that any future madman could just tore any agreement. Which was what the feeling of a vast majority of Iranians. It was more a political posture and that's why the talks were indirect. It gave plausible deniability to the regime, by saying we're not talking to the US, but to Oman. As for the actual negotiations, it was doing fine, but the trust wasn't there on both side. What didn't helped, was the E3 (France, Germany and the UK) who saw the coming deadline for the snapback sanctions in october which pressured the IAEA to produce some report that put further pressure on Iran. (Iran was selling ballistic missiles to Russia). Moreover, Israel was pushing for military strikes that was actually planned under Biden, and told Trump that this would solve the problem without the need to negotiate. Anyway, I'm sure you can understand that it's not as simple as Iran are the crazy baddies...
You guys need to start campaigning for a tax efficient wrapper on your accounts. In UK here we pay zero tax on any gains within a Stocks and Shares ISA account, no matter how well they perform. The catch is you can only invest a maximum of £20,000 new capitol per year (now just reduced to £12,000 yesterday, with a further £8,000 being allowed into a cash savings account free from tax). We can then open these accounts on platforms like Trading212 that allow purchase of fractional shares, indexes, ETFs and ETCs with good transactional times.

Oh come off it, the US created the Iran that it is today with the help of the UK and had them exactly where they want them for more than half a century. The US doesn’t want a stable West Asia as it would be a threat to its own supremacy
Real as can be. This scenario has played out countless times in history. Suez Canal showed the world how weak the UK and France was. Afghanistan showed the world how weak the Soviet Union was. Now Iran has showed the world that US military might is finite. Shock and Awe but not sustainable.
Wouldn't surprise me to see some overlap given Predictit was doing the same the and was basically first but had other academic partners in the Us including MIT. I watched it developed and took part in making a few small bets to see how it worked. You could see how it could be used to foment sentiment, skew opinions and make bettors real money if they knew how to manipulate users and data they needs to make bets. Later a few made big money betting on Trump winning in 2016, a similar shock to the Brexit vote where in both cases, Cambridge Analytica and the Mercers gave inside info to a small number of people. In the case of Brexit 'Leave EU' in the UK some used it to their advantage betting on the £ currency drop since they had better data how many were actually for voting for Leave versus falsely fed info from Nigel Farage openly saying in the late stages oh it looks like we lost and Remain will win, though he too was in on it. They intentionally held back their data and wickedly celebrated as the shocked majority of average people ended up upset, realizing what just happened and even being asked the question initially they'd been duped.
Start of the UK Tax year
Everyone hating on Israel but who else can you depend on when threatening genocide? Imagine if it was US + UK threatening Iran. Would never work. And now the global economy is saved. Up forever now
The Middle East is shifting closer to China and here in the UK we are turning back towards Europe. Trade deals have been going on for the past 6 months to decrease reliance on America. In the new world order America is shaping up to have no allies
US Bombers from UK still in the air eta 8 PM nice 30 min ceasefire to get your hopes up 🫡
When you threaten to annhilate people, you find out where your allies are, and who is smart enough to become new world leaders UK: "We won't let you use our bases!" Israel: "Standing by" India: "We will become the new beacon of peace and stability in this brutal world"
Do I think other superpowers are afraid of us? Well that answer is pretty simple. Look at the hundred alliances the US has. A feared country with a reputable military is invited to build bases and project influence across the world in return for protection. Look at Russia, a true paper tiger…if the U.S. was not in NATO then they would have pushed into the baltics at minimum. Europe, especially the UK has no true military with the exception of Poland and a few others. The UK only has enough ammunition to last about a week in a large scale conflict. So yeah I think the U.S. and its industrial scale can outmatch the vast majority of countries
I’m from the UK, why does your congress have a ‘recess’? I always thought it sounded like a bunch of kids going on a half term holiday 😂

He’s slimy, he’s just trying to cosy up to 🥭. Him thanking 🥭 for ‘ending’ the Pakistan and India war was a joke. Born in the UK but family from India so I guess I see it the same was as your colleagues haha
18 dollars equivalent for 1 topping large dominos in UK :(
Pakistan aiding 🥭 in doing another fake TACO to pump stocks while preparing to remove the existence of an entire country. It ain't a real TACO unless there is news of US B-52's and B-2 bombers retreating back to US and UK bases rather than flying towards Iran.
But they don't. They show up late with a fat wallet when UK and USSR have done the heavy lifting and when they go solo it ends with clawing yo way to the front of the queue on the Saigon embassy roof. And UK and Russian war films are about how shit war is, US films about how if you bruise yoself badly the Unicorn Regiment gonna save yo ass and award yo a purple fucking heart.
I don’t know, the B12 bombers left UK airspace a few hours ago. Fingers crossed it’s just an expensive scenic cruise about the Mediterranean
Lita of activity over the UK ( pics not my own ) all of the above heading the middle east bye bye Iran
markets rallied off paki's begging iran to change their mind (when they already said no and they have 14 million iranians ready to die), while B52's left the UK, you bols really are exit liquidity

American B52s have departed from UK base.
You mean this? https://www.reddit.com/r/aviation/s/oo9ZMCW7T2 Plenty of analysis from UK peeps and it looks legit.
I don't think Trump even knows himself. He's flip flopped between insulting our (UK) Navy saying he doesn't need them & the war's won, and then throwing his toys out of the pram when we refuse to send said Navy to bail him out. Personally I just think Trump is a sick bastard who gets off on human suffering. If any other president had tried half the shit he's done, they'd be long booted out of office.
also UK only allows sorties for defensive purpose and approves on a mission by mission basis -
fully loaded b52's leave UK? he wont TACO and give up the photo op. calls
B52s took off from UK airbase just hours ago, so nobody did.
Fully loaded B-52's have left the UK headed for Iran with an ETA around 8PM EST. You might be right.
Fully loaded B-52's just left the UK and will arrive in Iran around 8PM EST. So if he's going to TACO he's pushing it down to the wire.
Fully loaded B-52 heavy bombers have left their bases in the UK
Over on r/avaition there is a picture that someone snapped of a B52 in flight over the UK. There were a bunch of bombs under the wings. There was also a B1 flying with it.
Other people have posted in various UK subreddits, with different angles etc.
It’s 8 here in the UK, you should have started hours ago
you have a solar panel which means energy costs are not much of a concern to you and are on a special variable tariff rate, it's more about recouping the cost of the panel before it needs to be scrapped. For almost everyone in UK or germany, for example, electricity is set by gas prices.
The same planes were posted hours ago over in r/aviation flying over the UK

People in the UK are posting pics of bombers loaded with JASSM cruise missles flying overhead on the way to the Middle East. I was guessing nukes but looks like just a whole lot of 1000lb warheads.
taco priced in but I have been watching US military fly past in the UK today so I'm less convinced - military at least seemingly in strike pose
I'm on the UK and I usually wake up at 2am and doomscroll all the US updates. I'm gonna need a bottle of whisky by my bed tonight. Fucking hell
US is #1. That’s why we pump. Where else do you put your money? Iran? Russia? UK?
It's wild how the market is barely reacting to this. Flooding the zone and backtracking really desensitized everyone from any posturing from Trump, actual action is the only thing that's going to move the markets at this point, which is scary coming from the guy who wanted to nuke a hurricane. Even the planes flying over the UK right now seem like they could be just a distraction to convince people something is going to happen. I'm assuming we're going to see insider trading just before the market closes if something is actually happening in Iran tonight. What do you think would be an indicator or it? Oil futures spiking again? The 8pm ET deadline is exactly when the after hours market ends, and since there's less liquidity and lower spreads, price volatility is higher so there's more money to be made there. Coincidence?
so let me set this straight. Heavily armed B-2 and B-52 bombers are departing their Bases from the US and UK right now and the market is still pricing in a TACO.
Canada is seeing $5.60 in some areas, although I've paid $6.96 in 2022. Australia is like $6.50. UK is $7.50. Germany is $9.33.

I work in finance, and I don't invest any of my money, because _i need it_. Investing is a long term game. Over a 5-10 year time frame? You can reasonably expect an upward trend on 'the market' overall. Over a shorter term? Odds are lower. In any given year you can see a -50% 'plonk' (with some stocks dropping more of course). So my 'investing' is: - emergency fund - enough money so I can tell my boss to F-O, and not be afraid to losing my job. - House deposit - need a percentage to get a mortgage. This needs to be liquid. - (after that) A mortgage - chews up most of my disposable. And sure, it might be sensible to lowball the repayments and effectively leverage yourself to invest, but ... some people prefer a bit more security. Thus my 'investing' is for retirement - I have a pension plan that's locked away but tax relieved (UK thing, but I'm sure a lot of countries have something similar). And I've a _bit_ stuffed into a world equity tracker as my 'investment' (again, in the UK you get stocks-and-shares ISAs which let you be tax-exempt and better still, paperwork exempt). But that's not much, and I'm only capturing 'average market' returns, which over a decade might be 5-10% above inflation per year. In my 20s I didn't, and knowing what I know: I still wouldn't. Because one of the things I know from 'working in finances' is there's a LOT of people sinking a LOT of money into even the thinnest market edges, and I don't have a superior insight. I'm not going to 'win' a game like that. Seriously smart people don't invest for themselves, they invest a few hundred million at high leverage ratios that a retail investor just do. 'active trading' is a negative sum game - for one person to 'win' a trade, another has to lose. But they both pay a transaction fee. So _on average_ you can expect to fail to beat 'benchmark', and as said you're playing against people with significant resources. But I can capture 'market average returns' over a long timeline, and that's exactly what I'm doing. My retirement now is growing quite nicely, and I'll have a decent chance of retiring early. So if you did want to 'be more active' my personal suggestion would be 'pick a strategy'. Not specific entities. Just an approach you think suits you. From what you're saying, you think you're good at valuing companies. That would seem to suggest a 'value factor' approach. E.g. go value some businesses and firms. Then compare that with their current share price. Identify a selection of businesses that you _think_ are 'below the line' and buy like, 2 shares in each of them. Come back in a few months, and see if you were right. But diversify. ALWAYS diversify. That's free risk mitigation. And never invest something you cannot afford to do without in the short-to-medium term even if you reasonably expect that longer term it'll pay off. Failing that, identify a fund that implements your desired strategy, and just buy $100 of that instead. I mean, I've gone for a world equity tracker - the Vanguard FTSE Global All Cap fund. It just buys 'everything' in proportion to the current market cap. (I mean, not literally, but pretty close). But in particular pay attention to fees - trading fees and ongoing charge - because as mentioned this is a _negative sum_ game, and if you're making 5%, but paying 1%, you're losing 20% of your expected return, and can _very easily_ flip net negative. Frequent trading can likewise do the same - every market transaction has a cost. Some platforms hide this cost in various ways, but ... it's still there, and they're not stupid - they _expect_ to make money anyway, so ask twice how they can permit free trading. But trivially buy $200 of stock with a $5 fee, and you should be _expecting_ it to take a few months to 'pay off' the transaction fee. Fixed fee diminishes if you buy more of course, but that's got it's own hazards...
Can we bring back sleepy Joe Yours sincerely the UK,
What in the last 30 years of US foreign policy is meant to have me believe that Democrats would have pushed back against Israel trying to drag the US into another war in the middle east. Really, only difference is US would still have it's European vassal in toe and UK and France would have been assisting in this war instead of taking a backstage like they currently are
With Russia invading Ukraine, the US attacking Iran, and China threatening Taiwan, Japan, and the Philippines, only the UK and France haven't resorted to force. Would investing in European stock markets be safer?

SNL UK is absolutely putting its American counterpart to shame dear lord [https://bsky.app/profile/theserfstv.bsky.social/post/3miuzotxlq224](https://bsky.app/profile/theserfstv.bsky.social/post/3miuzotxlq224)
The problem is not Iran firing back, the problem would be giving Russia and China the implicit permission to deal with local conflicts using Nuclear weapons. Therefore there would be the risk of seeing Russia using Nuclear weapons in Ukraine, bringing UK and France to use those weapons to protect western Europe against Russia. Also we could see China using nuclear weapons against Taiwan plummeting American economy destroying the most important chips supplier of the west. And when you start seeing the use of those weapons locally you would be very near to a global escalation.
my AMD stocks went down from $224 to $216. I can only assume 2pm (UK time) will have this dump lower. I hope not, I might just end up selling because all this up and down is missed opportunity for me.

This is a pretty theory but wrong at it's very foundation. It *benefits* China to let oil prices climb and let this thing drag on longer. 1. For Pacific Island nations (like Fiji, Tonga, and New Caledonia) that are entirely dependent on diesel for both maritime transport and electricity, China can provide huge strategic reserves. China can step in as a fuel savior for basing rights and port access. This could permanently shift the balance of power in the Pacific, moving these strategically vital islands into China’s sphere of influence which would help them with their ambitions on Taiwan. 2. Increased economic pain related to oil will accelerate the transition to renewables. As the world attempts to achieve energy independence, they'll turn to China who is far and away the world’s dominant supplier of solar panels, batteries, and wind turbine components. 3. While the bulk of the rest of the world is pinched for energy, China can source as much as they please from Russia via land routes. To add to this, they are extremely resilient with their massive strategic petroleum reserve and domestic manufacturing ecosystem. Your thesis could still hold, but intervention will likely come via The UK, Japan, Italy, Australia, France who are all significantly more affected by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Given none of these countries have been recent allies of Iran, I think there's a case to be made that this thing, and the market, unravels a lot more before it gets better. We'll see.
Tell that to the UK, the Commonwealth, So Korea, Japan, Malaysia, etc. Wow, are you clueless, pal!
People aren't acknowledging that the straight isn't closed to Russia, India, Pakistan, France, South Africa, Turkey, Iraq, Malaysia, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Oman, Qatar, and the Philippines. China reached an agreement today, and they were getting shipments through before the agreement. UK, Germany, Italy, Canada, Japan, and the UAE are trying to make deals. Maybe South Korea and Greece are missing, Saudi Arabia obviously, but that's more than enough to avoid the worst-case scenario. Sanction monitoring on China was overused and lost effect long before the war, Trump overplayed that hand. If it were completely shut, everyone's worst fears would be realized. But as things stand now, short of the US seizing Chinese boats - I mean it's Trump, so never say never - it's hard to see the full collapse.
Alright, overseas rn, it’s 1:15 AM in the UK, going to bed, y’all degenerates behave
Todays Press conference by King Trump was a banger. Talked about how Kim Jon Un calls Biden a regard, UK only having two shitty planes, Learning Spanish so he can be President of Venezueler, Calling Obama by his full name. One of the funniest conferences I've heard.
You can drive the entire UK in a day
