RE: RE: RE: U.S. Acquasition? "Earnings so far this year have been down due to acquisition-related costs, a company spokesman said."

That part is true, as they did spend (waste) a lot of money checking out a big US outfit.
"In April, UPSG acquired a 75-per-cent stake in a large private security firm based in the southern U.S."

That is an utterly and blatantly false statement. The potential acquisition failed miserably. There was something horrendously wrong with it. I guess it was probably a good thing they only wasted a few bucks on it, rather than buying something that would have destoyed the whole company.
Have you ever noticed how many utterly false things the news media "reports"?
