The pen is mightier than the sword - A picture is worth a thousand words
A
man arrested over the weekend trying to wrestle a gun from a police
officer at a Las Vegas rally held by Republican presidential candidate
Donald Trump told an investigator he wanted to kill the candidate, court
papers showed on Monday.
It
could have been so perfect: months to ponder our relationship with
Europe; finally an opportunity to work it out once and for all and to
settle the matter.
Instead, this campaign has descended into
something else: a series of scary stories about life inside and out of
the European Union.
But how much of it has been fact and how much
fiction? For the answer, let's examine the six most terrifying economic
fairy tales we've heard from both sides.
The
murder of British lawmaker Jo Cox, who was shot and stabbed last week,
appeared increasingly likely to have been a politically motivated
attack, the leader of the opposition Labour Party told parliament on
Monday (June 20).
"Her community and the whole country has been
united in grief, and united in rejecting the well of hatred that killed
her in what increasingly appears to have been an act of extreme
political violence," Corbyn told a specially-convened session of
parliament, which had been in recess for EU referendum campaigning.
Lawmakers
from all political parties paid tribute to the Labour MP Cox for her
work helping Syrians, refugees and promoting human rights.
Her
murder happened just hours after the nationalist party, UKIP, unveiled a
poster with a long line of refugees fleeing conflicts with the words
"Breaking Point". The campaign was immediately compared to
Nazi-propoganda and heavily criticised.
"I can only imagine Jo's
reaction had she seen the poster unveiled hours before her death. A
poster on the streets of Britain that demonised hundreds of desperate
refugees, including hungry terrified children fleeing from the terror of
ISIS and from Russian bombs," said Labour MP Stephen Kinnock, who
shared an office with Cox.
"She would have responded with
outrage and with a robust rejection of the calculated narrative of
cynicism, division and despair that it represents. Because Jo understood
that rhetoric has consequences. When insecurity, fear and anger are
used to light a fuse then an explosion is inevitable," he added.
Her
voice breaking with emotion, Labour MP Alison McGovern said: "When Jo
spoke, Mr Speaker, we all listened. Why? Because the principles she drew
on in that speech and life is the simple idea that we have more in
common than that which divides us."
After the House of Commons
session, lawmakers applauded as they filed out of the chamber to attend a
memorial service in Westminster.
Disney's
latest Pixar film 'Finding Dory' was a hit in its debut weekend as
expected but TheStreet's Action Alerts PLUS Portfolio Manager Jim Cramer
says 'it won't be enough to move the needle.' It's driven by the
'skinny bundle' or pared down cable package and ESPN. There will
continue to be an ongoing tug-o'-war between the belief that Disney's
hit films will be enough to overshadow a decline in ESPN viewers
impacted by the skinny bundle. Cramer says Disney is a great long term
buy though it's stuck in a trading range between $93 and $100.
Amit
Ben Haim, chief executive at health and well-being wearable device
developer CloudTag (LON:CTAG) talks to Proactive Investors about the
company's recent operational update where it revealed it is hiring three
senior sales executives to drive sales to consumer markets in the UK
and the rest of Europe.
Ben Haim says sales efforts are accompanied with investments in R&D.
“It
is clear we operate in a fast-paced industry and it is critical for us
to maintain an advantage at any point in time. So we are strengthening
our team with the addition of key specialist roles to enable us to do
this kind of push and further our unique machine learning and artificial
intelligence capabilities, which are important areas for us where we
push the boundaries," he says.
Stocks
are in rally mode as opinion polls shift toward remaining in the
European Union. British residents head to the polls Thursday to vote on
whether to stay or not to stay in the E.U. A big move in the polls
happened in the weekend with unity in Europe, gaining traction, however
the polls are still very close. Facebook (FB) is holding its annual
shareholder meeting today and the biggest news may involve one of its
board members. Peter Thiel, generated a barrage of headlines over his
secret funding of a lawsuit against Gawker media. Thiel bankrolled the
Hulk Hogan suit against the provocative online media group and it was
revealed after the verdict was reached. The board of Facebook has also
engineered a structure that puts founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg on
control of its destiny. The switch from American Express (AXP) to Visa
(V) for Costco (COST) membership credit cards goes live today. Shoppers
can use Visa to pay for items as well as cash or check. Last year, the
retail giant signed an exclusive agreement with Citigroup to provide
Costco-branded Visa credit cards for Customers, ending its 16 year
relationship with American Express.
Rachel
Reeves and Stephen Kinnock paid tribute to Jo Cox, the MP who was
killed in her constituency. Members of Parliament spoke in the House of
Commons about her contribution to politics and remembered her life.
A
former chairman of the Conservative Party has switched her support from
the Leave campaign to Remain. Baroness Warsi told the Times the "hate
and xenophobia" of the Leave campaign was "a step too far". She said she
realised she could no longer support Leave when she saw UKIP's
"breaking point" anti-EU poster.
IN
THE INTERNATIONAL PAPERS - Monday, June 20: Three days out from the
UK's EU referendum, a top Tory member has left the Leave campaign over
what she says are racist and xenophobic ideas. Also, the Sunday papers
in Britain have taken a stance in the debate as well, while Texas may be
eyeing its own leave vote! And the Italian press sounds the alarm for
Matteo Renzi after a crushing defeat in local elections, while football
fever hits Iceland.
Scotland
could play a 'pivotal role in keeping the UK inside the EU. Polls
suggest Scots are in favour of the bloc by a majority of two to one and a
close vote for Remain could be thanks to Scottish enthusiasm for
membership.
But if the outcome does go the other way some experts
claim an English-backed vote to leave could reignite the independence
issue.
''We are much stronger together. Britain is no longer a
world power. We are a small offshore island, our economy is no more that
clever. And …

This week Britons will vote on whether to remain in the European Union or to "Brexit".
Many
say that fear of immigration has been at the heart of what has been a
vicious campaign, with supporters and opponents of Brexit accusing each
other of lies, smears and even racism.
Those campaigning to leave
the EU see its relaxed immigration laws as a threat and argue that the
European Parliament has crippled the UK's political independence. The
"Remain" campaign on the other hand says that immigration has a positive
effect on the economy because migrants pay more in taxes than they take
out. Both sides also put forward strong political and economic
arguments to support their positions.
So, would the UK be better
off sealing its borders or staying in the EU? In this special debate,
recorded before the killing of British MP Jo Cox, Daniel Hannan, a
Conservative Party member, Member of the European Parliament, and author
of Why Vote Leave, debates with Denis MacShane, a former UK MP for
Labour, who served as Europe Minister under Tony Blair and is author of
Let's Stay Together.
House broker finnCap has reintroduced estimates for Akers Biosciences Inc (LON:AKR) and is predicting a steep uplift in sales.
The
broker unveiled a forecast of US$5.6mln in revenues for 2016, up from
US$2.1mln in 2015, with 88% growth in the flagship PIFA Heparin/PF4
rapid assay products.
Mark Brewer, analyst at broker finnCap says,
the medical diagnostic maker, has the potential for stronger growth in
the second half of the year “through the launch of new products”.
“The
core and the key to driving growth in the short term is how well they
do with the heparin-induced thrombocytopenia diagnostic” he adds.
Brewer’s note inspired a 10% rise in Aker’s shares. The stock has gained 73% since the start of 2016.
