Always was a struggle -but we survived.
There has to be an alternative - and that was from 1960..2020.
Now it seems there is no way through. Every dickbrained nonce has been allowed to grab the media attention to destroy the little we had.
Why would anybody subscribe to Sky?
I cannot condone the destruction of our economy by the media and the unions.
Those that did not heed sars - are in charge of utter failings on huge salaries.
Snowflakes will destroy their future. - wont get their hands dirty.
Always great to hear you talk about LLOYDS jI25006.
Have you forgotten sky,media and unions are the peoples favourites, the political leaders in power have destroyed the country themselves.Hard to believe that such a honest bunch, that have handled the CV19 with such foresight and integrity,
or no longer liked.It is enough for supporters like me to cry nightly.
My single Malt does little to reduce how I feel for them.
I hope the moderators another nice bunch fully appreciate my sincerety.
You can tell where Pippa’s shares are. Get a grip Pippa, you are in the dark ages!
Personally I like the idea of GPS for the Lloyds directors, it would prove how industrious they are and the little dots would never leave the boardroom.It would make those twats that think they do nothing eat crow and show the efforts they make on our behalf.
At this moment I am rolling on the room floor with laughter, and will therefore end with" they all lived Happily everafter ".
Just try typing like this.
Whilst I sympathise with Shrimper (who has a lot of skin in the game here) over his dividend that he evidently relies on for income, I do wonder sometimes if the AHO board bashers here ever take a peep at other banks performance in the UK. A look at the 3 year share price performances of Barclays and RBS on LSE graphs reveal a similar story.

Compare Lloyds and Wells Fargo in multiple time frames and percentage drops.
Then figure the connection.
You could almost swap the names over WIDS !
Indeed LEVIS, to a man they've all taken a hammering, something that conveniently gets ignored by the AHO bashers I’m afraid.
Lloy v other banks - Fantasy portfolio weekend just gone
In July 2017 Nucky suggested I add RBS -
On 12-7-17 1000 quid bought 384 RBS & 1512 Lloy
Today's value
RBS 384 @ 104 = 399
Lloy 1512 @ 28.5 = 431
In July 2017 Utrickytrees asked that I add BARC -
On 30-7-17 1000 quid bought 479 Barc & 1504 Lloy
Today's value
Barc 479 @ 97.5 = 467
Lloy 1504 @ 28.5 = 429
Levis ,why would anyone bash AHO and the BoD?Just look what they done for Lloyds, a bunch of truly gifted individuals indeed.Double their salaries and fees if you like, why not donate your divi.
Poor example regarding Banks ,if one dog bites you doesn`t mean they all will.
The whole world is there for investing not just London Town.
Lloyds dividends.Lets get this straight.
39000 plus dead with the virus.
850,000 unemployed due to the virus.
Parents sacred stiff as to whether or not to send their kids to school.
Get real.
And that's Lloyd's shareholders fault ?
We need to eat and pay the bills as well
Jamesroo:
850k unemployed because of the virus. Wrong
People are unemployed because HMG chose to deal with the virus by locking down everyone.
In my view wrong choice.
In my opinion the delay to lock down has cost us 30K + lives. It was a cache22 situation whether to protect people or economy.
COVID 19 is the invisible enemy we are all fighting a war against.
Everything in this world has a velocity and the speed of infection for COVID 19 is phenomenal.
Another interesting point is that until March 2020 there were lot of businesses stating the business is down in millions. In May 2020 the same businesses under the govt schemes are now claiming to have made losses in millions.
Which one of the above two scenarios is correct?
fraud will be a massive problem...
RedRoo :-
“why would anyone bash AHO and the BoD?Just look what they done for Lloyds”
Begs the question why you hang around on this BB then. Do you ever bother to look at the sector as a whole ?
Nash: the choice was protect the vulnerable and let it take its course or destroy the livelihoods of millions of people at the same time as wrecking the country's finances for at least a generation. This has been my view since day one and nothing has happened to change it.
Don't get me wrong , i have every sympathy for the politicians making the choices. Damned if they do , damned if they don't. Sympathy does not preclude me from disagreeing with them.

Fortunate Lloy is being prudent - lending only to it's established customer base
FOCUS-British backing gives some RBS investors comfort in crisis

Totally agree with you on this.
In my opinion it would be better to increase the social benefits such as Income support, unemployment support payments by 100% or more rather than bailing out / furlonging / dishing out business loans.
Govt tax revenues are going to take a massive hit as stated previously.
