Carry on up the Sefton (SER) continues to provide amusement for all with three of the leading players taking to the media to put their case yesterday: market abuser Chris Oil played by Kenneth Williams, ADVFN supremo Clem Chambers played by Bernard Breslau and current Sefton boss Barbara Windsor played by Raylene Whitford. The question that emerged relates to Chambers and Oil – who is the organ grinder and who is the monkey.

DUCK AND DIVE
Clem has done himself no favours with that shocking interview. He seems not to have read the recent Sefton RNS and was apparently unaware that the nomad was going to resign if his resolutions were voted through. Nor did he seem to know that an executive chairman had been appointed, adding a lot of governance to the Board. Nor did he seem to have a clue about his plans for taking the company forward. Nor has he twigged that the transfer of the placing funds to a separate company was to remove it from the potential clutches of predators.
Some of the stuff he came out with was just silly. Something about the administration prior to himself and Levi being “riddled with criminality”. Hello? Someone should tell him that the Levi/Chambers administration was riddled with much more serious criminality.
I laughed out loud when Clem said that he couldn’t take all the credit for the SER SP rising 600% when he and the armed robber first stepped in. Someone should tell him that the convicted criminal has a lunatic cult following so probably Clem can take little or none of the credit.
He seems deluded. Surely this barely planned attack hasn’t been brought on by six BBMs sending him emails asking him to help?
It sounds to me as though shareholders will be infinitely better served by the incumbent Board.

Chambers is a clown . He must have just knocked one out and his brain was addled . Its got to be Oily in charge . No one else could think up such a crack pot plan . You just cant make it up ………. a world war 2 spiv incarnation , a clown and fecking idiot and a convicted bank robber try to get control of a company via EGM . What were they thinking ? Chambers trashs his whole career and reputation in less than a year . I bet he never predicted that when swotting for his A levels . ADVFN need to call an EGM and get the clown out before he trashs that completely as well ……….. muppet does not even come close . Some body give him a revolver with a “metaphorical” one in the chamber …………….he must walk . I will be watching this debarcle unfold from behind the sofa ……… I can hardly bare to watch . In fact I think I might be hallucinating ……. perhaps my wife is slipping something in my coffee …… it cant be real though can it ? nah it cant be real , not in the city of London , surely not . Its all a figment of my imagination . Perhaps my wife is trying to do me in with some hallucination pill OD . It just cant be possible , it just cant , I must be paranoid .
