Does show you the world in which Tories operate. If you look at all the 'second income' gigs that MPs have it's '£35k a year for 2.5 days a month' sort of stuff. So of course generating a bit of extra wedge subtly lobbying for the interests of some business or other is a piece of cake.

Farage had referendum results before they were public, his trader made loads that night
Very suspicious as well, never got investigated and it's illegal to pre release results of referendum, they must be fully public or not released.
So it makes me wonder if anybody ever gets done for insider trading in the UK,unless it's been so blatantly stupid and written down you have to admire the stupidity...
-
It's even more difficult to identify who had insider knowledge now days because of neural networks and algorithmic trading potentially being able to act on the suspicion of insider trading within a few tens of miliseconds. If a large sterling short order gets placed, there's probably only two or three seconds before the whole market is acting on that.
Not saying that insider trading isn't rife. The city is built on off the record networks of contacts. It'd be a departure from the norm if some conspirators decided it was a good idea to celebrate their crimes in a semi public way though.
-
Yep that's all true.
It's just rather annoying this stock / global trading all has a large influence on our pensions / certain good commodities and f all is being done.
Even blatant rubbing it is not followed by legal action.
Not sure Labour sees the danger either. I know it's hard to tackle as some of it is a world wide issue, like algorithms trading, but come on...take back control ;)

Everyone enjoying the tory faux contrition this morning?

"UK at significant risk of gas shortages this winter, warns energy regulator"Given how well we did facing every other shortage, I half expect the UK population to decide that if it's going to run out it would be best to have the heater on a bit of the time and feel it whilst it's around. 🙄

As you say, fortunes were made.
kl: And it's a victimless crime.
When somebody wins big on the markets, that monetary value comes from somewhere. For everybody who made a fortune last week there will be lots of others who lost their shirts.
-
One shirt for a fortune though, pretty good deal.
-
In the worst case scenarios its ordinary folk losing their shirts when their pensions or bank balances vanish as a result of gambles made by other people.

Quite a find....

I think if I came across that while walking my dog I'd probably be dead within a week.

Could be a great film
a) drugs are found by local pensioners, cue Local Hero style shenanigans as they outwit the gangsters and use the profits to improve the town / get Mavis a new hip
b) drugs found by local Welsh scallies, who are massively incompetent, argue amongst themselves, get high on their beach supply and end up getting picked off one by one by gangsters Reservoir Dogs style

I'm surprised that nobody has made a film of this yet

I've been away where there is no internet. Have we had this?
