I agree, it is confusing. As a Northern Irish man once said about the "troubles" over there, if someone isn't confused about the situation, that's only because they don't understand what's happening..... The Republic of Ireland is predominantly Catholic. Northern Ireland is more evenly split...

United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland? Where do you get this from?

And they will never work on UK roads.

Right now it appears here in the UK that electric vehicles won't become cheaper to buy new than comparable fossil fuel powered vehicles until about 2027. Most of the electrics being bought today here are tiny hatchbacks: the bigger cars are luxury / status marques only and there isn't much in...

This means nothing statistically within the ET community but just to say I am double covid vaccinated. This was with the AstraZeneca vaccine. I am in the UK. We expect to hear an announcement here soon concerning whether we will also be offered boosters in the autumn, combined with a flu...

Noted this upcoming event on the calendar and am considering using bracket orders to take advantage of any significant moves. I am useless at predicting market responses to fundamental newsflow. Anyone else doing this regularly?

All the same, there's no god, there's no heaven, there's no hell.

Yes, I have been through the English courts several times as a witness, and I understand enough concerning our laws on expert witnesses. But what people are posting here is personal opinion, not expert opinion. Any personal opinion can be expressed and no matter how cogent this is, it does not...

I'm only familiar with rules on witness testimony in English courts but what you say sounds appropriate. But the questions here (are there gods and was Jesus the son of one of them) would not be resolved by expert witness testimony. I don't think there is room here for expertise in the field...

Really well put. In a strictly legal sense, all evidence concerning the existence of gods is hearsay - unless those gods appear and testify on their own behalf. There is evidence of unexplained things that have happened of course - like the parting of the Red Sea for example - and this is...

No, Russia is not red-listed, as it is a legally constituted and internationally recognised state. Neither is the remainder of Ukraine red-listed, for the same reasons. But Russian-controlled Crimea is not a separate country and is no longer part of Ukraine. The international community mostly...

The west does not recognise the annexation of Crimea into Russia as being a legitimate act. Russia say it was legal. to be fair, they are backed up by Cuba.......

The cities in Ukraine from this list that I recognise or could quickly find on a map seem to be in the Crimea - annexed by Russia in 2014. The area's legal status is unclear. Residents of other areas of Ukraine are not excluded from applying for an account.

The usual reasons people have difficulties with account applications and money transfers to or from brokers is that the brokers can't reliably prove to their regulator who you are or that it was your money. Having an address and having some money are not enough. It would be interesting to know...

I agree. There's nothing before and nothing after - you're born, you work, you die. And if you're lucky its in that order. It doesn't make me bitter or afraid, I'm just angry that I won't be here forever after all.

If you're able to spreadbet legitimately where you are, this offers an alternative to CFD's. Spreadbetting is tax-free in the UK, possibly other jurisdictions also.

Its not something I do much of but the conventional approach would be to use the time-frame most relative to your desired entry and positions and refer to the next longer time-frame chart to confirm trend direction and ensure that your shorter time-frame trade is in line with the prevailing...

It sounds like you already believed in some form of deity. And believing in a deity you are assumed to believe in all the reports and testimony on what the deity did or said. Which does come back to my point which was that the only people who will be convinced by evidence supporting the...

How did your conversion come about? Was it really through evidence? I mean evidence that would be accepted in the highest legal court. Or evidence that could be reviewed by expert scientists and judges, and tested and replicated? If it was one piece of evidence that was responsible, what please...

Obviously the Old Testament prophesised what would happen when a Messiah came to the Jewish people. That's why Jesus was treated the way he was when he was born. Equally obvious that we can not now read the contents of the Old Testament which prophesised things that did not happen.....
