Pay wall

Pay wall

Try opening it in a different browser to the one you normally use to access Adver stuff, so for instance for me this is paywalled on Firefox but opens fine on Chrome. Not sure how the Adver can claim it as an exclusive but hey ho.

Ta. Never knew that!

Anyway, Clem has signed off the Seebeck accounts and it was 'an oversight'. So hopefully all academic anyway.

As of 10:40am no change in status of Seebeck.

Companies House are fairly useless at updating

TBF they are not useless, it just takes time for them to process the, no doubt, tens of thousands of documents received every day.

There was a program yesterday. Companies can set up bogus companies addresses at virtually any residential address they choose with zero proof. Yet those who addresses they use have to jump through hoops getting the bogus company disassociated with the homeowner - and it takes ages.

There is a guy on Twitter (who must have a hell of  lot of time on his hands unless you can set up an alert for new companies being set up) who looks at such things like this this morning. https://x.com/greybrow53/status/1705136974338703557

I see the EFL are being unnecessarily negative and impossible to please as well.

I notice the Facebook group haven't read the article and are blaming Lee Power.

Reminding me of the iconic Daily Mail comment ' IS TONTY BLAIR BEHIND THIS'.

I do find some of the people that post comments on that Facebook page quite 'interesting'. (being extremely diplomatic with my language here)

After Clem's interview, which included the bit about the court cases and the fact we might face a fine - "Wow, Clem is fantastic, so honest and you really have to give him credit for coming out and explaining the situation - in Clem we trust etc etc"

The Adver then run with a story explaining we might face a fine as an outcome of the court cases and the share ownership etc - "fucking Adver, they are such shit-stirrers reporting this (the facts)"

It's fair to say that there are both people who will not see any concerns with the current ownership regardless of any evidence presented, and people who think they are the most wretched hive of scum and villainy anywhere in the galaxy, but I think there are far more with views somewhere in between those two poles. The issue seems to be that both "sides" see the most unreasonable exponents of the other view as 'typical' and spend more time raging at those than they do engaging with the more nuanced people in the middle.

Not that this is a situation restricted to STFC ownership issues!

Yep. Facts is facts, some on FB do have their head so far deep in the sand they are visiting Clem in Oz.
