It does seem strange that this twitter accounts seems to have been created solely for these photos and this discussion.
Not that that delegitimises his concerns, but itās not obvious whether this account was created by him or someone else.
The previous Confirmation Statement from Ocober 2019 had an addendum stating that the Bulk List of Shareholders was available on CD-ROM from Companies House. This is not present on the most recent statement but would imagine the same would apply. Not sure of there is a cost involved.
As you say, it sounds like a companies house issue.
Itās a slippery slope for a company to complete the companies house work for them. If you ask, then someone else asks, and so on. Where do you draw the line? It also opens up the risk of sending the wrong document. There is no upside for FT to send these documents.
Adamās humour might not be for everyone, but the fact the companies house in 2019 requested you call to obtain a CDROM is hilarious. No wonder they havenāt responded if this is the state of their processes.

Simple:
You publish the 1 incomplete document that should be on Companies House and isnāt.
I completely agree with Adam any requests for information beyond what need be published on CH should be ignored. But this should be published on CH. It doesnāt fall under that category.

Fully agree with this. Its a companies house problem and I wouldnāt expect FT to provide the document. It would appear they have sent the complete information to CH, thereby extinguishing their legal responsibility, but then CH made an error and/or their systems are unable to cope. The solution is probably to formally highlight the problem to the minister in charge of Companies House, maybe via Twitter or a more official channel. This will likely be a very slow resolution and unfortunately shareholders may just have to wait until October when perhaps the FY21 edition will be more successful.
Call me a cynic, but given the Government is only permitting us to hug our friends and family / eat inside a restaurant from today, waiting 5 months is probably the best we can hope for.

Hell hath no fury like a founding investor denied repeated requests for something on their terms they believe to be an absolute rightā¦.
The histrionics of new usernames, (@renaissance next?) and new Twitter accounts for the sole purpose of generating negative pressure on a company they claim to support, with the probable justification of āI was left no choiceā, is, while mildly entertaining for a Monday, such an unnecessary distraction from the real priorities at hand, Iām just struggling to understand the real motivation behind all this?
If itās just an I want, I think some perspective is in order. If itās something else, please bring this cat back to life because the curiosity has left me stone cold dead.

FYI - I called companies house today, got through to them and could get delivery of the CD Rom for a Ā£20 delivery charge. (I didnāt order it)
I havenāt read the comments completely, but it does seem at least possible to get it if itās wanted

I lost a lot of money on popcorn . Chipped a front tooth on a piece of un popped corn aka corn. I was in all honesty shovelling huge quantities in my mouth at a time. Dental Bill was not nice. Havenāt touched popcorn since.

Thatās at least, the second time that happens. The other time it was something about buying/selling FT shares in secondary markets.
Not that Iām keeping scores or anything 
Edit : on a side note it is a bit sad to see FT organizing an AMA and getting such negative returns on it

Agree, hardly encouraging them to have them in the future, since theyāre not obliged to in any way.

It didnāt quite hit the mark this time for several reasons, but Iāll be tuning in for the next one as Iām sure most will be!
Simply put, I suggest:
- Keeping the AMA on topic
- Answer questions from the forum (if on topic)
- Timebox everything else 5/10mins
Weāre a tough crowd to please but collectively we are the biggest advocates for Freetrade

It does seem like Adam Dodds answered most of the questions afterwards on here. I was assuming it was due to secrecy etc about new features but it seems like they just got bogged down and didnāt get to the other questions.

Is that hired or just job vacancies? Their issue seems to be with finding people to accept, not posting vacancies

Can we still get UK stocks please, in particular PRIW 
They probably have hundreds to thousands of applicants it likely takes a while to find the right person.
They rejected me for a normal customer service role last year and I have a masters degree n all so they must have high standards 
EDIT: Or Iām just shit who knows

Still waiting on a response for this which I have been going on about for months and months on end, and I will most likely keep bringing it up at every opportunity until itās resolved. My biggest pet peeve with the app canāt understand why itās not been changed.
Or you might be over qualified for this position (but not in the right area). Am sure they making recruitment decisions thtat benefit the business long term as it seems likes ur in a situation where you would jump ship if the opportunity arises, its costly and time consuming training new staff. Sorry for generalising, but its good to hire stratigically for every position.
