Here we go!

Yes, but sales of Stella, made by the same people, have risen by a similar amount, as the annual sales of Anheuser Busch Group grow by nearly 8%

If only you read the Financial Papers us grown-ups read; it would save you all this embarrassment.

Are you drunk?
AB InBev, which owns Bud Light, Stella, Budweiser and Corona, said on Thursday that sales to retailers in the US fell by 17.4% in the last quarter of 2023, which it blamed primarily on the decline of Bud Light and their frankly crazy marketing.

Revenues in the US fell 9.5% on the back of the frankly insane Bud Light campaign, which used to be the US's best selling beer..
They launched a $1Bn share buy-back to restore faith amongst investors.

The increase of 7.7%, that you clumsily and incorrectly link to the story, was globally and less than analysts expectations. The volume of its own beer sold across the world fell by 2.3%.

It appears that all you do with the FT is wipe your arse with it.
So I'm not sure, again, what point you are trying to make, but yet again the result is you get handed your arse back. xx

What would your usual advice be to a person who has debts considerably larger than their liquid assets?

His lawyers say he can't afford to pay

Correct he can't unless he converts his assets to generate liquidity.
This may take years, depending on the assets.

His real-estate, for example will make him a billionaire, but these are not liquid assets that he can use to pay a fine.

Just as a tangent, Alex Jones was recently forced to liquidate his assets to pay off the Sandy Hook survivors, which means he is actually fucked and bankrupt now instead of pretending to be.
There is some justice in the world.

He could technically put the assets up for sale and get a loan for a reasonable percentage of the sales price in order to cover the fine, if he had any interest in paying it.

By one highly partisan judge in a case where no one lost money and the banks got their own advice and valuations. Grotesque decision in a grotesque democrat led city

Is it ok to drive my car through the town centre at 100 mph so long as I don't hit anyone?
What about not buying insurance?

They can be if they are sequestrated.
 
This has been a terrible result for Labour. Almost puts any GE result back in the balance; and it's been 100% Labour's own doing.

As a party, they are far more comfortable talking about allegations of Islamophobia than confronting the often ugly and threatening behaviour of pro-Palestinian demonstrators who have besieged MPs’ offices and homes and even parliament itself recently.

Galloway will be everywhere from now until the GE. News panel shows, question time, radio stations. He will be like dog shit, and he will be listened to. He will focus on the left wing and Muslim voters’ frustration with Keir Starmer’s support for Israel.

No, unfortunately, I am not drunk.

Rather than trying to substantiate a remark like Go woke, go broke, with actual facts you quote the Torygraph.

Sales of Bud Light in North America fell on the back of that campaign, but sales on other lines increased.

The recorded fall in overall sales in North America was 4% which was put down to an increase in prices - the increase is down to the increased cost of raw materials, hugely impacted by the Ukraine conflict.

Worldwide Sales increased by 7.7% which did not meet broker expectations but was in line with adjusted Company forecasts.

The share price fell on the back of news that further price increases will be necessary, and due to the news that they will be disposing of their 50% share in AB In Bev Efes which trades in Russia.

As good as the FT is, it is not always the goto place for Financial information; certainly not when one's Stockbroker offers a far better service

Having said all that, the whole thing stinks.
Turnout 40%, of that 80% of votes were cast by post!?!

This has got to be one for the electoral commission, as it looks like a 'Rotten Borough'

Yes, but that's more in hope on your part than what will happen.

Richard Tice was unusually candid this morning, talking about the threats of violence that blighted the election; he failed to mention who they threatened though.

Knowing the Reform Party it was probably some 12 year old Pakistani kid.
