Re: Blue Passports It is all down to the rigid EU. The Government had to put this out to tender to all EU members and accept the lowest tender. If they accepted a higher tender then they could be fined huge sums via the ECJ.Bring on Brexit A.S.A.P. or quicker if possible.

Re: Blue Passports I am certainly no fan of Donald Trump but this would never have happened in similar circumstances in the USA.

Blue Passports It makes you wonder why we vote governments in or out when they seem hxll bent on destroying this country.From ruining our fishing fleets to even now giving our passports to the French.It's got to be a national joke.It's hard to believe I'd ever vote for any government with weak knee people like Teresa May, Boris Johnson and Michael Gove.As for Amber Rudd -- is she even literate?Farage is absolutely correct - these people are ruining this country, it's opportunities, and for what? ---> to surrender to EU BS.Games -- the alternative (JC) seems equally unpalatable.

Re: Price Drop Totally agree with last 2 posts. Not the right way to do things, hence a bigger fall in the shares than one might have expected. Leaves me with an unpleasant taste in the mouth . Company needs to hire financial PR between now and the next announcement in a month's time.

Re: Price Drop "Tb - not impressed by this approach"nor me - I thought Sutherland had more about him than to make such a gaff.Credible management don't do things like this - take a leaf out of Next -- who tend to tell it how it is and puts all the numbers up in pretty plain fashion.Games - what a wasted hold this has become.

Re: Price Drop The drop is down to DLAR being a bit sneaky and sneaking in a profit warning in the middle of the FD departure RNS. "Separately, the Board expects to update the market on the outturn for the year in the third week of April, and is currently expecting the result to be around the lower end of the current consensus range"Tb - not impressed by this approach

FD on his way [link] he fired because something is coming out in the April update?Looks like the results will be on the low side, hence the big drop.Just looks like an even longer wait to get this stock back up to anywhere near historic levels.Oh well there is always the dividend I suppose -- grrrrGames

Sold the Paper Mills [link] like a smart move and injects a chunk of cash onto the balance sheet.Sutherland seems to be doing a grand job of reworking this company, quite impressive considering the challenges in face a few years back.Games

Re: Contract Won - for 10 years This contract is for 10 years apparently and so it is excellent news and may lead to similar contracts for other denominations in the UK or for other countries.
