I am losing on the capital value of both, having held for some years. and my dividend income was drastically reduced during Covid and many holdings still not recovered nor paying dividends.
Their plan is to end oil companies as part of the "green new deal", so that we are carbon neutral by 2050, or earlier. Forget that these are the few remaining UK companies. Where will the taxes and jobs come from? Thing is they don't care about the private sector, as if can get everyone onto the state payroll or state benefits, then most people will vote for them. Where I live very few people have private sector jobs, most seem either public sector or appear to be not working. It's a miracle we have a functioning economy at all, when you think about it. BP & Shell's recovery should be celebrated as a success story... but our media seems to be brainwashed in far left ideas.
