Seems like Governments are sitting on their hands and saying "dear me, we need to do something about Libya - let's have a meeting".

Imho Cyners it would be better NOW if K took the country back. Thats for the markets. Cameron has farted about to much for too long and is out of his depth. I know a lot of people wont like what Im saying but I see a speeder end if K regains control.

French Connection is expected to cheer investors with its full year results on Friday after it emerged relatively unscathed from freezing December.
The fashion retailer last month said pre-tax profits will be least 6.8m in the year to 31 January, compared to 1.6m the previous year and well ahead of previous estimates of between 2.6m and 5.1m

Historical article which shows the potential of FCCN....
French Connection lifted as shake-up pays offBy Daily Mail Reporter
Last updated at 3:18 PM on 4th February 2011
Fashion chain French Connection said on Friday that it expects annual profits to beat expectations despite the challenging trading conditions.
The retailer said pre-tax profits for the year would be at least 6.8million, marking a significant improvement compared to previous estimates for profits between 2.6million and 5.1million. (UPDATED again))
The upbeat update sent shares soaring 22 per cent, up 14.8p to 83.7p, as analysts upgraded their forecasts for this year and the next one.
Recovery: French connection expects annual profits to be higher than previous forecasts
The improved performance follows the companys decision to launch a restructuring drive after it posted bottom-line losses of 24.9million last year.
The shake-up saw the company sell its loss-making Nicole Farhi brand and shut down its Japanese business as well as some stores in North America and Europe.

Chief operating officer Neil Williams said: We are very happy with the restructuring we have done and that will allow us to concentrate on our core business.
He added: It's too early to say how 2011 will go but we feel that if we can produce some really good product there will be demand for it.
The surge in profits is down to wholesale outlets and licensing, while the groups own stores, which account for about 55 per cent of revenues, have fared in line with previous guidance in November, when sales fell by almost 8 per cent.
The company has also been boosted from a series of profitable licensing agreements, including a $10million (6.2million) deal with Hong Kong-based exporter Li & Fung that will see clothes and other goods carrying the slogan 'UK Style by French Connection' sold in Sears stores for the next four years.
The update prompted analyst Andrew Wade, of Numis Securities, to up his profits forecast for the year to January 2012 to 8.2million from 7.5million.
He said: Despite our expectation that 2011 could be a challenging year for the sector we believe the momentum being built up at French Connection, boosted by the 1.5million benefit of the Li & Fung deal, should see the business continue to make good progress.
