''Get a real bank ''
Why is HSBC a real bank but Lloyds not?
Even Ireland is beginning to be swamped. very true lti ,just had 5 weeks over there ,had a job to find the locals in some towns ,lots have not resurfaced since covid but several pubs i used to find the real locals in /and hotels closed full of ucrains ,they need somewhere to go ,no ibis hotels available in dublin full of the same ,anywhere in hospitality it was hard to find someone who you could understand ,all from overseas ,and still in the eu but every shop or pub had notices staff wanted so much for brexit causeing our labour shortage ,i would say in general ireland is worse off ,as i said tuther day first time in 30 years the fuel for yer cars was cheaper back in the uk ,even diesel now same as petrol that was always cheaper by a country mile ,the irish are being hammered by the eu ,about time for irexit

I m not aware that India/P a k i s tan etc etc etc etc etc are being swamped with the English . The British left behind democracy + +
O dear, is the UK being overrun by foreigners, just like the UK invaded half the world?
Your hypocrisy is laughable!

and many of those with british passports with immigrants parentage such as those from india and ****stan do not need a visa, they have a special card which allows them visa free entry with unlimited stays.
so imagine the scenario you arrive in say delhi or islamabad .
in the immigration in delhi you will be in the passport/visa queue . you look over and see rishi sunak another british passport holder, just walking through. the same with khan in islamabad london's mayor will just walk through , no need to pay for visas . and sunak has an american green card, and every time i have visited the usa i and my wife queue whilst those with green cards waltz through.
you see in this version of animal farm in which we now live, some pigs are more equal than others !
and an aside . the following are entitle to israeli passports, due to their jewish family connections.
blair, cameron, osbourne and many more.
not forgetting those with great great irish grand fathers!

''but the 80+% no where near accurate.''
Correct - no where near.
Even Ireland is beginning to be swamped.
As for Scotland - not many immigrants/boat people want to go there.

Government statistics for the UK population show the white population to be 80+% I can't remember the exact percentage.
Most people would assume that that figure, means that 80+% are , indigenous to this country.
But as with all things associated with population figures and the swamp dwelling establishment , the figures are never so clear cut. That 80+% includes all those that class themselves ! as being from a white race/nation.
So every white immigrant is lumped into the term white, off course the ONS will not be attempting to pull a fast one, would they.
What percentage of the UK population is English, Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish I do not know but the 80+% no where near accurate.
The last census was 2021, the swamp say that the population was 67+million, last year alone about 1 million walked into the country, that census was out of date before it was even published.
DCB is an Irish gypsy currently living in a caravan in Spain.
I am never ever wrong .......ever .......😇

Once again - immigrants would not see themselves as English because THEY ARE NOT (like you), but they would British because of having the passport.
Now Brixton, you do really need to keep you hair on and your blood pressure down.
You are guilty of selectively quoting one data point and failing to provide a reference to your data source, when you received a request to do so.
Brixton, please do reflect on your shortcomings here, and I expect more rigor from you, in future, with regard to the content of your posts.
Have a nice evening.
You are confused DCB - immigrants obtain ' British' passports.

Only 58% born in England - of those 58% I imagine the vast majority had parents, grand parents not born in England, meaning only a small amount with English heritage - I am afraid the whole of England id going the same way.
Those of us who are English (not you DCB) will soon be the tiny minority in not too many years to come.
Brixton, as they say there are lies, damn lies and statistics, which is exactly what you are guilty of.
Got your measure now mate!

British only Identity - 2011 = 33.7% to 2021 = 55.8%!
So, huge shift in those identifying as British.
That has to be a good thing!
GBNEWS just now via a Nigel interview with the Saint George's membership club collapse in Leicester.
Data source please Brixton?
Only 8.2% of people in Leicester class themselves as English as of 2021 consensus.

Re 5, China's one child policy had unintended consequces. (not that you were advocating a pure one child policy).
basically i agree with you ima ,but you must be a young person ,just wait until you fall ill or want spend your later years in comfort ,i was se for 45 years until i now have to visit docs and hospital so often that no i doubt any one would employ me ,it would cost me about 4k to resit my gas safe ,which is a f**** ,80% is repeating/proving stuff you have been doing all the time and proved it only 4 years ago ,there are 3 very good long served fitters sub retirement age fitters in my small town who have had enough and are not renewing ,if you want a good gas safe engineer look for one who only has a 5 digit number that means they are at least 35 years and corgi reg before gas safe[cash cow] was brought in ,so how many very good fitters country wide have lost ,and we are trusting wet behind the ears 12 week trained idiots ,so dont call us on the sick bone idles some of us have no choice or been driven out of our trade ,and as for expats i dont blame them when you consider my mid terrace bungalow here costs £1600 council tax ,and my home in roi a 3 bed detached bungalow costs £90 yes nine zero ,so calm down young man it aint that simple keep safe

''Ripping off the tax payer in housing benefits is totally wrong ''
What I have already posted doesn't appear to have sunk in.
I repeat - Lloyds and people investing in Lloyds are not ripping off the taxpayer.
JUST complain about the benefits system being too generous if you must.
It is the population that vote in a government and it's policies.
Join the taxpayers alliance.
99 % of posters predicting share prices are talking their own book ....those who predict very low prices I think you will find have a short gone badly wrong , or sold too early & desperate to get back in
