Jacob Rees-Mogg Moves For Conservative Party Leadership.

I have never seen any comment on Corbyn which is libellous

Oh bother! The first two paragraphs were supposed to be in bold. Should have previewed.

Quote Jalima1108[ So if the British army brought down a foreign plane full of civilians, anyone investing money with the Bank of England and other British banks would be to blame? Is that how it works or have I misunderstood something?
That is according toGrandad] End Quote

It was actually Baggs who originally posted that I think.

How about a few minutes thought for all those that perished on that airliner and from which a leading member and prospective leader of the Conservative party is making money from?
Apart from a superfluity of “froms” I think this is the post in which Grandad implies JRM has directly profited from that incident.
I carry no torch for JRM but casting aspersions of this sort could be interpreted as libellous.

Baggs, the investment under particular question is Russia’s largest bank, Sberbank. JRM Is co-founder of and a major shareholder in Somerset Asset Management which he is not directly involved in managing but obviously receives major income from the profits of the company. Those profits are large part derived from its Russian procurement of clients funds into the above Russian bank and other organizations in that country under sanctions.

By not being involved in the day to day management of the company, JRM does not for some reason I cannot figure out have to declare on the parliamentary register of members interest his involvement and income from the company.

When was Somerset Asset Management set up? When did it begin trading with Sberbank?

I could look these things up but I'm asking because of the claims you are making. I think it is wrong to make such claims without properly backing up everything you say.

Anyway, I am still in the office after sitting around all afternoon waiting for an outcome on a matter which eventually turned out successful without me contributing further.

So, an interesting afternoon posting on GN. I wonder if I am the first forum member to receive a salary for posting on GransNet.

Sounds tenuous to me, given that Sberbank is State owned.
Sberbank is a state-owned Russian banking and financial services company headquartered in Moscow. The company was known as "Sberbank of Russia" until 2015. Sberbank has operations in several European and post-Soviet countries. (Wikipedia)

Now I know I said “Don’t mention it” but I had rather thought you might. Manners and all that

So, offfor something to eat, goodnight all

He owns 20% of the company , is that being a major shareholder ?

Oh a speedy exit,

Oh sorry, many thanks MawBroon. Only the second forum I have ever joined so still learning.

How does one receive a salary for posting on GransNet ? I would love to know

SAM was set up in 2007. Plane shot down over Ukraine in 2014.

If a government applies sanctions to trade with another country do they only apply to new deals after the sanctions are imposed? I'm guessing they would because making them apply retrospectively could be monstrously difficult.

If SAM isn't doing anything illegal re sanctions, what's the problem?

Grandad1943, please explain who pays you to post on this forum? I am really concerned to learn this .

“He who pays the piper calls the tune”

Only the second forum I have ever joined so still learning
Ça se voit..
My pleasure. .

I think he means he's posting on GN while being paid to do something else, annie.

Thanks baggs x. I felt troubled , so he meant he was posting on Gransnet whilst being paid to work , silly me.

Surely not Anniebach hardly the most ethical behaviour?
People have been sacked for less.

I most certaintly wouldn’t do it Maw, I think this is why it didn’t occur to me, I thought he Meant some political group were paying him.

MawBroon, in the pub now, but being at one time the sole owner of the company, now 25% owner and acting in an advisory role it is hardly likely I will be sacked.

I am treating the team that have spent many successful hours in what culminated this afternoon to a drink and a bite to eat they thoroughly deserve.

Just had the feeling that you would require further knowledge MawBroon

Goodnight.

Not really, don’t interrupt your ??? on my account.

We're still awaiting a response from Janina

Is she a new poster?

There really is a pattern, isn't there? With a couple of exceptions, men just don't get GN. Mansplaining, innuendo and inappropriate comments - they inevitably creep in after a few posts.
Good luck to the few 'good guys' who do manage to get themselves on the right wavelength!
