Boris Johnson Advocates Second Referendum

By J Drew -
The recent voices being added to the Peoples' Vote campaign to have a referendum on the final Brexit deal might be dismissed by many in Government but it was actually something that Boris Johnson was in favour of before the referendum of 2016 when he first announced his intention to campaign in favour of Leave.

In his words "The way to get better deal is to vote Leave"

It's surprising how much changes in the course of 2 years and that many things discussed back in 2016 have now been forgotten. The prospect of leaving the EU with no deal wasn't even mentioned as a possibility and when suggested it was dismissed as Project Fear. Now it's being touted as both better than a bad deal and possibly as likely as 60:40

These are a few links to 2016 articles that show quite how far the tone and substance of the debate has changed since 2016. It also highlights how the notion of the "will of the people" is quite a ridiculous concept when the views two years ago at the time of the vote were so different to the types of suggestion being touted as policy now.

So if a second referendum was what Boris Johnson thought sensible back in 2016 it should be even more important now especially when it's also proven that Vote Leave cheated their expenses and it's shown that the campaign was built upon lies such as the poster above.

Concept Capital Group Review - Is it Genuine or a Scam?

By J Drew -

Investment in Concept Capital Group is being promoted on Facebook and Rightmove to solicit investment in their static caravans for rental to social housing tenants via Social Park Housing. Concept Capital Group are claiming to guarantee rental income of 10% but as investors in London Capital & Finance are fully aware, this sort of guarantee is fully dependent on the company making it still being in business. If the company fails for any reason then there will be no-one to support the guarantee or to return money to investors.  Update November 2024: It's reported on MSE that investors are struggling to get repayments of their investments with various excuses. If the company fails your guarantee disappears. Concept Capital Group have only existed since 2019 so have no track record of honouring investment guarantees over the long term.

London Capital & Finance Trial 2024 - Latest Court News

By J Drew -

The trial of various individuals associated with LCF (London Capital and Finance) started in Feb 2024. There seems little mainstream coverage of the proceedings, probably because they are quite technical and maybe generally of interest to a small group of affected investors. However I've found an excellent resource that is giving daily transcripts of the proceedings and to say they were enlightening would be an understatement. As someone who has been involved in investigating LCF for nearly 8 years it is fascinating to read the behind the scenes details of how the company was setup and how accurate some of my summaries were. Sadly many of the details couldn't be published at the time because without more evidence they would have been considered libellous but the emails from LCF now show how their scheme was planned from the start.

Where are the People and assets behind LCF & their agent Surge Financial? London Capital & Finance owned a helicopter purchased by Andy Thomson. LCF helicopter seized This has now been seized and is being held at Shoreham Airport in Sussex. According to the administrators one of the loans of £12 million was to a stables called Home Farm originally run by Spencer Golding but now owned by Sean Cubitt who was unable to provide any paperwork for the purchase of the company or for any of the horses. There were originally 85 horses apparently with a combined values of £15 million according to the owners but when the administrators visited they could only see 35 that had a value of less than £10,000 each. Sean Cubitt claimed that there was no bank account for the company that runs Home Farm. So a company with no bank account was loaned £12 million by LCF. Yet another example of the lies they told to investors about their lending process. We understand that the val...
