It is cobblers and it shouldn't have anything to do with skin colour but i remember small flaot stocks surging back when George was killed, social media came up with this genius plan to show compassion by buying stocks in black owned companies.... all that happened was traders made a shit tonne of money riding 100 to 200% moves and the people buying sympathy shares got screwed for their illusion of compassion.

Remember the guy at the Inland Revenue that posted an entire database of names, addresses and bank account numbers of people receiving child benefit, first class post, and it went missing.

I can't remember exactly what year that was but unlike banks, the Government can't be fined and have no incentive for having proper procedures in place to prevent cockups.

Someone in my neighbourhood just had a delivery of 8x12 packs of Andrex. The delivery guy parked his van 100 yards away and carried it high on his shoulder for everybody to see.

I doubt too much of those 10p Yankees make it to the exchange.

Been a hectic few months I'd be happy with racing going back to lockdown for a break. As long as the dogs and AUS markets are running I'm sure I'll be fine
