Choc’s away!

BAE Systems jumped four points at start of trading, just hours after its Tornado jets left UK bases in Cyprus to bomb Omar oilfields.

        Exactly. I’m sure it jumps more on days when there is fupp all happening.*

        *This comment is not an endorsement of bombings or otherwise.

    I’m sure Dave and the boys bought a couple of thousand extra shares before taking the vote last night. Ha ha and ye thought the war was about saving the Syrian people.

    Classic NWO stuff here. What is it with those Nazi Islamofacist Jews LGBT living Jesuit bollock’es – if only someone was clever enough to stand up to them

      Good point, but I think you’re being way too harsh on Avon overall. Pointing out a conflict of interest is hardly the preserve of the tin foil hat brigade. I think it would be an important thing for journalists to ask, considering the repercussions of air strikes.

        Nah. It was phrased in such a vaguely conspiratorial, non-committal ‘throw poo against a target and not even see if it sticks’ way without any kind of thought at all. If someone can’t even be bothered to put two minutes of thought into something so easily disproven and dismissable, they deserve derision.

        Surprised BS posted it. But then again it is wonderfully clickbaity…

    yeah you can have a look at the data on google finance:

    Basically, the stock went up in the morning but dipped over the course of the day will finish up lower than at the open. It going down is inline with the general drag on the FTSE today, which is about 1.9% lower on this mornings open. From this relative standpoint the stock might be considered one of the better performers of the day, the real interesting point is 13th of November (the day of the Paris attacks) where the indicator really starts to take off.

    This is so obviously moronic for even Zuppy International to pretend it’s some kind of conspiracy.
