Probably best not post on the Ukraine thread:
Bloody hell - she owns less than 1%
Bet everyone has shares in Renault and total via their pensions

Behave - that’s not the point.
So you’re essentially saying having c1% in every company that had ongoing links to Russia, or say, creating pollutants that are fucking the world or are selling arms to tin pot dictatorships, or defrauding the UK through furlough payments, or getting dodgy Covid procurement deals from Johnson coz he’s a mate are also all OK?
What’s the problem, each one is only 1% right ?
1% of a fuckton of money is a lot. Probably too much imho.
“pensions”, pause for hollow laughter

1% does represent a fuck ton of money
However
It doesn’t come anywhere close to being a stake that can dictate control
Even if it did I can’t see her Dad ceding any to her.
None of the decision that company makes are hers and by extension Rishi’s
So in that respect this is entirely like a pension holding. And unless you are invested in an ethical pension I am will to bet you have made money from Russia, fossil fuels, arms dealing and Covid 19
Now if she has a seat on the board then maybe I would agree with you, however that would also depend on the governance of that board. In my experience of very large family dominated businesses, whatever the patriarch says, goes.

Funnily enough, I am.
My firm operates in the employee benefits field and the rush of clients and trustees to move pension investments into ethical funds and checking the ethical (& wider esg) credentials of all in the supply chain of all employee benefits is increasing massively (even before Ukraine)
This supply chain checking business is becoming a pain in the arse
Diversity and inclusion policies are this week’s embuggerance
We have a company statement on this, however it has become apparent that not all diversity and inclusion policies are equal
One of our client has decided that our succinct, easy to understand (ie don’t be a cunt to other people) policy is not enough - we have a number of principle and commitments condensed onto onto one page - so that it is easy to stick on the notice board and there is also a fighting chance that my employees may read it
We asked the client what “enough” looked like - they said at least 4 pages - nothing about content.
Fuck that - I told our marketing guys to crib three pages of semi relevant guff, attach it to the back and resubmit it. The client accepted it
Procurment departments need shooting - every single last one of them are stealing their employer’s money

We’re coining it. Money for old rope 
They’re good if you need a mountain of pencils or a ton of beans but useless for anything else.

Fucking hell. My pseudo father in law just posts racist memes on Facebook. That, or a frequent (and rather odd) recent enthusiasm for beer.
This is why twitter is just shit

Of what relevance is this?

In fairness, Sunak scarcely needs that in order to be considered a cunt. I agree that its relevance is minimal. But he’s still a cunt.
