Rules in the UK might've been ridiculous on paper, but were they ever really enforced? I don't think so. Apart from scanning of the QR codes at various venues, there was no tracking of people's behaviour and no real monitoring of their adherence to the rules. I have also seen enough ridiculous crap happening in the UK to have zero trust in people's common sense. One glaring example is how recyclables are collected at home. You have two kinds of bins next to each other in the basement. Clear code coding, clear instructions on what you may or may not recycle. I still see general waste in recyclables bins all the time. It is usually _less_ effort to use the general waste bins as they are closer to the entrance and less full. But no, people still deliberately throw their shit into the other bin, probably thinking that it would magically lead to it being recycled So no, I think the UK rules weren't ridiculous. They were just formal enough so that people wouldn't start Boris Johnson'ing around thinking it's completely reasonable "because they're feeling fine and are clearly not infected"

Terrible_Ad_7735

I'm fine with wearing masks. But in UK we had all these ridiculous rules, like you're allowed to socialise this week ourdoors, but only if you keep 2 meters away from people who are not in your bubble, and your bubble can be up to 6 people accross two households, but you're not allowed to drive more than 10 miles to meet them, unless you're doing it anyway to drop shopping off to your disabled uncle BUT DON'T YOU DARE GO IN HIS HOUSE LEAVE THAT SHIT BY THE DOOR YOU SUPERSPREADER. Sweden had the better approach IMO, which was to trust that people would be smart enough to know that there is a dangerous virus about, and you should limit your close contact with people to avoid catching it.

Short answer: ownership usually doesn’t just vanish, but wartime sanctions, exchange closures, and asset freezes can make foreign securities untradeable, hard to value, or temporarily inaccessible. For what happens to international stocks/funds during a war, the legal wrapper matters a lot: * BP on NYSE: if the ADR/listing remains permitted, you still own it through your broker/custodian. The bigger risk is trading suspension, delisting, blocked dividend flows, or sanctions from OFAC/SEC actions. * VXUS/VTABX: you own shares of a US fund, not the underlying UK stocks/bonds directly. The fund can keep operating, but it may mark affected holdings down, halt creations/redemptions, fair-value stale prices, or side-pocket/segregate impaired assets depending on the structure. * Bonds can be messier than stocks because payment systems matter. Even if the bond legally exists, coupon/principal payments can be blocked by sanctions, capital controls, or settlement systems. Broker matters less than the jurisdiction/custody chain. A US broker is still subject to US sanctions rules, clearinghouse rules, and exchange actions. Historical analogs are Russian securities in 2022 and some Iran-related sanctions cases. OFAC, SEC, Vanguard/issuer prospectuses are the places I’d look first.

my controversial opinion: the only difference between whatever the the EU is doing and what US is doing is just that EU can hide some of their regarded actions behind academic sounding language. France and UK are justifying a military intervention to Iran with "freedom of trade, supporting middle eastern allies" meanwhile US justifies it with "Iran bad" the underlying action of intervening in iran is bad regardless of the language used to justify it. EU sane-washes and supports US actions, provides diplomatic cover and support. EU Commission acts rn no different than how🥭 would wearing an academic gown and vore-ing thesaurus. therefore any bearish thesis on the US necessarily applies to the EU too.

If you want to fly zip air, and eat at 7/11 or local spots, Japan is cheap. Especially since Japanese people still care about quality and cost, unlike in America where people don't expect quality at all. If you want to stay in a western sized hotel room, eat at top restaurants, and take some cabs occasionally, Tokyo is expensive. For me, there's really no difference between Tokyo or London/NYC. The only real benefit is that when you pay for something in Tokyo it's most likely going to be good. When you pay for something in America or the UK there's like a 20% chance it's awful.

He mentioned they'll be rolling out a roster of Canadian Brands in June who will be selling exclusively through Remexian in the German and UK markets. If I had to guess it will be all the big boys (TLRY, ACB, VFF, CGC) and a few smaller players like LOVE trying to build a bigger international precense.  The largest exception will be OGI as they have their own importer in Germany, and CRON is a wild card because they do have CanAdelaar in the Netherlands.. I can't speak to their ability to leverage that for German imports. He also mentioned that Nuleaf Naturals is GMP and FDA certified and meets all the requirements for the CBD Medicare pilot. Sounds like there's a good chance they'll be able to partake in that right out of the gates. He cautioned that revenue growth should be expected there until 2027/2028, not sure why.  Also, it seems that importing to Germany from Canada is proving more time consuming that originally thought, since our first shipment expected the first week of March is now expected to be 30 days late. However we have been successful in importing product from South Africa, Thailand, Malta, and Czech Republic recently.

Yeah, it all happens regardless. We tend to look at things all too much with the benefit of hindsight. Afghanistan was a NATO war. The US was almost justified in anything it wanted to do right after 9/11. Iraq was a dumb idea, but hardly anyone really objected to it in the moment as long as they weren't sending their own forces. The UK invaded alongside the US.

AsbestosDude

That’s a pretty distorted version of how that actually works. Carney was at the Bank of England but he wasn’t writing UK laws or handing out fuel contracts Sustainable aviation fuel mandates in the UK are government policy, and they don’t designate a single supplier. Multiple companies produce and compete in that market. So where exactly did he "ensure Brookfield were the ones selling the fuel"? You've still failed to provide any shred of evidence for your claims.

FPV drones can be controlled from 10km or 20km away now, using fiberoptic control so they can't be radio jammed, and these fucks are going to be sitting ducks on that island waiting to get resupplied.

Hi Everyone, I have a couple of questions. If anyone can guide me in right direction, that will be helpful. Thanks in advance Can someone help with tickers/funds/ETFs/Instruments that perform following functions 1) Fund which invests in top 10 companies in top 10 sectors across the world that are either actively or passively managed . Or top # companies in top # sectors following industry cycles, momentum etc. 2) Funds which invest in corporate bonds globally with yields above 6% and Bond rating above B or BB 3) Funds for dividend - monthly income that are diversified and have no more than 5% of weight in 1 company , with yield between 4 to 5%. What is the taxation on such income in the US if you are investing from Outside US (not a US citizen), from say UK. 4) Any Fund that does HFT with retail investors funds , it is fine if it is 2% and 20% fee model. But the goal is HFT fund that accepts retail investors money and invests in HFT. This more for exploration, I am not looking to optimize returns but to have some fun money put into HFT and see how it works. And a question on bonds, If you buy 30 year US bond that is currently above 4.9%, does this mean if held till maturity, I will get back my principal as well as regular 4.9% coupon every year for 30 years. This seems like a very good deal for 30 years at risk free rate. i) What is the catch except for possibility of US defaulting on the loan? ii) Also, lets say for some emergency i might have to get back my principal, when i sell at that time, will i get back my principal or will its value be different from face value. iii) What is the tax treatment in US when a non citizen purchases such bonds on the monthly income and the principal at maturity. Once again, thanks in advance

Oil has climbed higher and global stocks fell as hopes of a faster resolution to the conflict in the Middle East were dimmed by Iran rejecting ceasefire proposals. Tehran responded to a 15-point plan from the US on Thursday, describing claims that it was negotiating with Washington as a “deception”, according to Tasnim, the news agency, which is controlled by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. President Trump warned Iran to “get serious” about a deal that would end the war, after the US said it presented Tehran with the proposals this week. In a video on state television on Wednesday, Lieutenant Colonel Ebrahim Zolfaghari, a spokesman for the Iranian military’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, accused the US of “negotiating with itself”. The one-month futures contract for Brent crude, the international benchmark, rose by almost 6 per cent to just over $108 a barrel, reversing Wednesday’s falls. UK equity markets also eased, with the FTSE 100 closing the day 134.67 points, or 1.3 per cent, lower at 9,972.17. The S&P 500 fell 69.42 points, or 1.05 per cent to 6,522.48 in lunchtime trading in New York

There's just no way to win with how countries are set up. The ruling systems exist for the rich and powerful to stay in power. No one can win an election without significant funds backing them up, this is true for every country with US, UK, Germany, Australia, Japan as examples.

This case is significant because it sets a rare precedent holding social media companies directly accountable for mental health harms, especially among minors. The $6 million verdict against Meta and Google reflects how internal documents showing deliberate targeting of children and teens can be used to establish negligence or misconduct. If this becomes a bellwether for the roughly 2,000 related lawsuits, the financial exposure could be enormous, potentially in the billions, and it signals that courts are taking the mental health impact of addictive social media seriously. Coupled with government actions like bans for users under 16 in Australia and similar moves in the UK, France, and U.S. states, this could represent a turning point where both legal and regulatory pressures force platforms to rethink how they engage young users. It’s likely that social media giants will face heightened scrutiny, new compliance requirements, and possibly changes in their product design or age restrictions to avoid similar liabilities in the future.

Honestly it was dec 2020 when i noticed it and realized covid was still crushing this company. after some digging it was the biggest player in the UK and i figured it was backed by the UK government and they wouldnt let it fail. $10 pre-covid me getting tired of day trading, the stress was unreal and sleepless nights watch charts. said fuck it. YOLO on one stock, sit and chill and let it ride. before i went in i told myself i am willing to lose 75% of this money. and if it drop i cannot sell. bought in 2021 around 1.50 and by oct 2022 it was at 0.74 and i kept my cool and never sold. after that it was only up. i dont know why i never sold along the way, "something" told me not to and to keep riding the wave. just like this month "something" told me to get out so i sold it all.

The UK's high energy costs due to extensive investment in renewable energy now looks a lot more appealing to some countries im sure.

So, Theocratic Iran good, Democratic US/UK bad? What about New Zealand, Canada, France, Australia, Germany? I suppose all of them are lying, and Iran is the truth teller? Or is it supposed to be the unnamed journalists I’m supposed to go searching for? Not all news organisation are biased. There are plenty of organizations with a strict adherence to the Editorial code of conduct, that do solid, impartial journalism. I can name my sources. The Associated Press (US), BBC(UK), DW (Germany) and The Globe and Mail (Canada). These will give you evidence based factual reporting. I can guarantee you their standards are higher than whoever it is that you refuse to name, obviously because you do not think they are a credible sources yourself. Otherwise you would not have kept them. The Iranian theocratic state will lie more than any democratic country, any given day (the present us admin is trying to come close though). PS, the democracies haven’t killed as many people as the non democratic countries. Nazi German and Communist China killed far more people than any other, maybe imperialist Britain come close - but none of these were really democracies.

I don’t listen to sources with any govt interests guiding their analysis. Unfortunately the majority of global mainstream news is captured by elites may of whom are staunch zios. Look into the history of the relations between the UK/US/Iran and use that as a basis to identify truth vs obvious propaganda. Basically I avoid the ones who throw the word terrorist around without ever defining it or applying it universally.

To add to this, it seems Trading 212 is able to run with no account fees in the UK because of the income they generate from their CFD side. There's still a foreign currency conversion free per trade for buying/selling shares, but it was an eyeopener to see how much gambling occurs.

Their business model resembles that of a crack dealer. In the UK they have offered small-scale demonstration products on sensitive government data, including classified intelligence data and personal medical records. They then persuade government departments that they are now so enmeshed in the datasets and their systems/formats are so proprietary that no one else is capable of providing the service or competing with what they do. So the follow-up contract is awarded without tender. It completely defeats public sector procurement best practice.

They've only been round less than a year and took over the shell of an old company, most of the financial info online is of the old company. Plus they're UK based so they don't have to file quarterly reports. The numbers might be somewhere but I personally don't know them.

FancifulLaserbeam

That was a description of Iraq, not Iran. There's basically the pro-theocracy people and the anti-theocracy people. What I keep wondering, though, is how big the proportions of the total population each one is. We're kind of led to believe that the Islamist faction is some kind of detested minority, but I'm of the long-considered opinion that *all* governments are democratic, because if people don't like theirs, they always outnumber it and can replace it. It's not like the police and military are recruited from some separate population or grown in the lab to the mullahs' specs; these people are just normal Iranian people. So my question is not whether we needed to stop Iran from getting nukes, especially when we now know that they were lying about their missile stockpiles and range, but whether we can put an end to that with precision strikes and wiping out the military. I think that what we actually would need to do is a full invasion, occupation, hanging of the establishment leadership, set up a puppet state and make it popular, and make sure everything is running smoothly before mostly pulling out, which is what we did after WWII with both Germany and Japan. It was phenomenally expensive, but we could afford it because we were the last man standing, and both Germany and Japan are much more culturally similar (Japan may look/seem different, but it's basically the UK of East Asia—source: I've lived here for over 20 years) to the US. I don't think Trump et al. are really *dumb* (well... Hegseth doesn't strike me as the sharpest tool in the shed...), but I *do* think that whomever wargamed this underestimated Iran's willingness to just soak up abuse and keep fighting. It's the difference between a political war and a religious one. The truly religious cannot be rational.

Today it's literally being used as a data collection tool against all US citizens and being used for immigrant identification which is also horribly inaccurate.

I'm just gonna say it. They don't want the straight open. It doesn't actually effect US oil procurement but gives those companies an excellent excuse to drive up prices. The US doesn't get very much of our oil from oil that is transported through the Strait of Hormuz. We get the majority of our oil from Canada. 52 percent from Canada 11 from Mexico. Only 4 to 5 percent comes from Saudi Arabia, another 3 to 4 from Iraq, and another 3 from Brazil. Smaller percentages come from places like Colombia, Venezuela, guyana, Nigeria, Ecuador, and domesticly. Outside of that, the smallest percentages come from places like Africa, or the UK/Norway... Even South Korea. Our. Oil. Does. Not. Flow. Through. The. Strait. The price increases we are seeing are just the same thing we always see: a company with an easy excuse gouging everyone because no one will stop them.

Short term, they don't have the capacity. Long term, they can do everything Palantir can for the UK. And the UK will definitely want to switch to UK-based software companies (they already are).

It’s actually a worldwide company (with clinical trials in the US, UK, Canada, Germany, France, Italy, Russia, Japan…) and mostly US based. The FDA trials are in the US of course. The patents are US (and worldwide). The manufacturing facility is in New Hampshire (and they secured a place for a facility in Japan). The CFO moved to the US years back and more are relocating as the need grows.

I had an actual thesis back during the pandemic. In 2020, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) officially launched the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA). Net-Zero Commitments: In December 2020, major carriers like United Airlines pledged to become 100% green by 2050 specifically through SAF and carbon capture rather than traditional offsets. Fuel Certification: In June 2020, two new technical pathways for SAF production were approved by ASTM International, bringing the total number of approved "drop-in" SAF types to seven. This allowed more types of renewable fuels to be legally used in commercial engines. Norway: In 2020, Norway became a global pioneer by implementing a mandatory 0.5% SAF blending requirement for all aviation fuel sold in the country. European Union: 2020 saw the introduction of the European Green Deal, which set the stage for the strict "ReFuelEU" mandates that now force a transition to SAF across Europe. Rolls-Royce completed the compatibility testing of 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) on all its in-production civil aero engines in November 2023. Following a commitment made in 2021, this ensured all Trent and business aviation engines are compatible with 100% SAF, with key tests completed on engines like the Trent 700, 800, 900, 1000, XWB, and Pearl family. TLDR: Governments, particularly in Europe and the UK, are forcing the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) through legally binding mandates, while other regions like the US are using tax incentives to encourage, rather than force, its adoption. RYCEY was oversold and had a future. I exited my position in Feb. Over valued ATM.

West_Lavishness6689

I answered it. I saw it as an opportunity. after some research pre covid it was at 10 and I thought the UK government wouldnt let their biggest company fail. so I convinced myself it would never go bankrupt. and it would recover. my time line was hold until 10 but it went up so fast I kept holding and riding the wave up

West_Lavishness6689

UK government wouldnt let it fail. I saw it at 10 pre-covid and told myself in 10 years this could be back at 10 so fuck it. I will keep buying for 10 years and stop stressing about day trading or trying to figure out the market or how to trade since I dont have knowledge about trading

West_Lavishness6689

because I researched and convinced myself the UK government wouldnt let their biggest company fail.

West_Lavishness6689

thesis was that the UK government wouldnt let the company fail. so precovid it was at 10 and I saw it at 1.50 and dropping it said in 10 years it will get back to 10 and I wanted to stop the wild.day trading stuff so decided to go all in on RYCEY. and I got lucky!

$TUN received £44 million capital in Feb 2026 to restart her mine in the UK. £29m from an institutional investor. This is a big deal because this is a major player who has done his cost-benefit analysis. Long-term hold.

Here’s the problem with Webull. I don’t think it will go much lower but it may still not go much higher for awhile. The stock got listed in April 2025 by April 14 it was $62 a share by April 30th on $14. What happened? Massive massive massive dilution right from the start. About 37% of the company diluted between investors and Webull themselves. Webull themselves can put their shares on the market anytime they want. Investors have to wait till they unlock at different periods before selling them. Some of these investors got $10 shares for like .03 cents. So for a year straight this is why you seen the stock just get beaten down. The part everyone has really missed though is Webull is a far better trading app than Robinhood. They have better charts, better analysis, better options literally better everything besides higher margin interest. The problem is for new retail it’s to intimidating. So what happens is the retail that checks it out often goes for the great promos and then leaves. Down the road when they learn the charts better and they are more confident in trading they return. So Webull has actually been gaining users at a very slow and steady rate. Not to mention the users that stay have a 98% active trading rate. So mix that in with them globally expanding (Robinhood is mainly US and UK), acquiring more users, and dilution coming to an end most likely sometime this year if would argue that Webull (as long as they continue pushing forward with no more dilution and getting more users) will actually outperform Robinhood in the long run. With a 98% active user rate they could have 25% of the clients Robinhood has and still do well. How quickly will this happen who knows. However this is my load up zone right here. Anything under $6. Quietly stack and build until dilution is gone and pay attention to what’s going on every quarter. If nothing changes and they move forward I keep adding. If they dilute more I reassess.

Not clear, are you an anglopoor in the US or yank in UK? Also is this more about your "cousins" than the country?

Real talk I went bar hopping on the weekend while on vacation. Not familiar with the area so my (UK) so my cousins were taking me and a couple other guys out. Ended up going to one bar and right off the bat I felt someone touch my ass, looked back and there was just some older guy staring, didn't think it was him because why would a guy do that, so I just ignored it. 5 minutes later I go to the urinal and another guy just standing around at the bathroom keeps staring at my 🍆 with his mouth open while I'm pissing at the urinal. He asks me if I need a hand and I just tell him "fuck off" in a joking way, thinking he's just drunk and joking as well. Finish pissing and start heading out the bar and a different dude walks into me backwards with his 🍑 and makes a moaning sound, and then apologizes like it was an accident. At the time I thought it was just a night where the crazies were out, but today I decided to search the place up and discovered it was a 🌈 bar. Did some googling and it seems like what I experienced is common at 🌈 bars. Crazy shit man.

The UK did, but it has not helped as much as pursuing a multi prong strategy alongside renewables. We now have the most expensive energy in the OECD

It was Israel to try and get the UK/Europe involved. Iran's missiles are limited (purposely) to 1250 miles, the US propaganda news was reporting that they must have lightened up one of their missiles so it could fly further. Turned out to be two American missiles fired by Israel. SLV

There absolutely is insider trading going on..I did see comments earlier today about Trump lieing before widespread media got it and markets in UK not reacted before close. But problem is trump isn't lieing 100% of the time, so you need more information for a reliable guess.

Running out of missiles for strikes? A single bomber based out of the UK or Diego Garcia can carry over 20 cruise missiles. With thousands of them in total inventory. Those same bombers could be deployed from the mainland with aerial refueling too if it was necessary. It's certainly not a limitation to hitting the electrical infrastructure.

Well turns out he wasn't lying, they are in talks. Confirmed by the UK [Here.](https://x.com/Bounce_BackLoan/status/2036090346803793922) Not sure if a member of parliament has any power over the IRCG, but talks are happening.
