my number one priority is avoiding paying attention to @Keir_Starmer because he isn’t worth it..reverse L’Oréal basically
Hi @Keir_Starmer
You posted earlier that protecting British lives is your “number one priority”.
Could you confirm what is your actual number one priority? You’re failing at all of them.

I try and stay on topic, but can I urge ppl to think twice about using @evrisupportline for their courier. Got within 30m of my house but said couldn’t deliver, they even took a photo of my side gate FFS! They have my mob no as well. Try customer service: we’ll get back to you…

Avacta: total bargepole.
Only need to look at 2 bits of info. 👇
Shareholders will get diluted again, and again, and again….
Lots of complaints about lack of IPOs. Then this beauty comes along: Smarter Web Co. It offers web design services (v small revs) and also invests in bitcoin. Value of bitcoin £6.5m, Mkt cap £165m, 🚀 🚀🚀
Interesting set of advisors too…
M&S at Waterloo. One thing I can confidently predict @dresserman is that shrinkage levels will be well below normal levels this week
One of my favourite compounders comes to the table again. Avacta issuing 9m shares (2% SII) to part reduce its convert bond & interest. Shares in issue have compounded at >20% Pa for 11 yrs. That’s impressive!
The drugs pipeline is still in phase 1 however…”latent value” ?
