    Ah the Church of Anti-UK sentiment, a little bit of knowledge and all that  ;)
    Not at all, it's anti a random selection of mostly global companies that are arbitrarily domiciled  here and in most cases not UK at all. Unilever for example. Less than 10% UK.  Royal Dutch Shell, probably less than 5%, BP the same. And so on.
    But I take your point about a little bit of knowledge. Very appropriate.

    Everyone has to start somewhere and learning should be encouraged.  Diversity of opinion is also important, as is learning from one’s own and others’ mistakes.
    I am here to learn but can be put off by what appears to be flippancy and condescension, so prevalent on the internet these days.
