No poor farmers in Essex mark my words
Just us poor Peasants who are not allowed to walk on their land ;-)
They soon come heavily handed if you do
No idea.
I think they make good use of a large safe that they have.
Who do they bank with ?
JFCC
I have a family connections to farmers who own about 3000 acres of Essex.
I won't be shedding any tears for them if we leave the EU cleanly.
LTI
Indeed. Not a good basis for government policy though.
JFCC
Farmers like every other business will have to adapt to whatever the situation it is that they face.
Sink or swim.
LTI farmers and fishermen can point to the explicit reasons no deal would be a problem. It is axiomatic - self evident - without the possibility of controversion. How many times have you heard someone offering a £6 billion cushion to people who had no case. I hope that is a biodegradable straw you are clutching at.

''the alarm being raised by farmers and fisheries. ''
Have you not noticed, there have been endless alarms being raised by all sorts of people, not only with a 'no deal' Brexit but also with any exit.
We all know the sort of people I mean.
LTI
"Hunt is in no position to promise anything and he knows it". Indeed not but that is not the point - the point is he said it because of the alarm being raised by farmers and fisheries.
You are right about the share price rising again. As I said it was largely a blip - a reaction to the fall of the pound.
JFCC
''What is clear is Hunt has responded ''
Hunt is in no position to promise anything and he knows it.
Nothing to lose. A 'no deal' exit response will not be made by a Hunt led government.
A week to go.
LTI different things.
That article is talking about replacing EU based subsidies with UK based subsidies and a transition to focus on environmental good (in theory). That will be necessary whether there is a no deal or not. Hunt is talking about a "boost" for a no deal for farmers and fishermen to get over the problems of a no deal. Farmers are not known for being so easily tricked. That said these figures often get mashed up and changed once the promise has had an effect. What is clear is Hunt has responded to the alarm farmers have raised over no deal.

UK to replace EU farm subsidies with 7-year transition scheme
Crowcast it's bye bye not by by. Hate to split hairs lol.
JFCC
These people get subsidies already from UK tax payers via the EU. Government policy was already in place for our EU departure.

I know Levi he has multiple accounts, it's why it really winds him up when I point out how many more upvotes I get than him, purely because my posts are ten times more on point. Firstly be believes he's a modern version of Plato and second of all he hadn't realised he's really rather dim.
Hi All, I’m new here and I hope I won’t tread on too many toes. I’ve been dipping in and out of lloyds since the reinstatement of a divi. Sometimes I’ve got it right and made a bit of profit and other times, like now, I’m sat holding the baby. I’d like to think that my money is well invested but I’m beginning to waver a bit. I don’t have a very good understanding of the technical aspects of investing I read the financial news and come to boards such as this in the hope of picking up useful information to help me decide which shares to buy. However, if you’ll allow me one trespass into what is clearly some very personal involvement instead of an objective discussion. Opinions are like a**eholes everyone has one. I enjoy reading all of the constructive and informative parts of this board, I just wish that is where we could leave it.
My best regards to you all, as the one thing that we do have in common is our desire to be able to make a bit of money

No-deal Brexit sends pound sliding to 27-month low
NEWSFLASH: The pound has just hit its lowest level against the US dollar in over two years, as fears of a no-deal Brexit grip the financial markets.
Sterling has fallen to just $1.2420, shedding a whole cent today, to its weakest point since April 2017 (shortly before Theresa May called her ill-fated general election).
The pound has also sunk to a fresh six-month low against the euro, at €1.107.
What is extraordinary that these wages figures have not boosted the pound - the reason ids very obvious and widely agreed,
boomerbower you are talking nonsense based on delusions. I shouldn't have to point out I said no such things about currency rates, and I have not insulted anyone, not even you, even though you roundly deserve it. I filter you when your posts degenerate into the worst of your nonsense and insults as they always do, simply so I don't have to waste time reading it and it discourages you from trolling the board. Here you go - by by.
Thought I was filtered crowcast or was that just pontification? I was just correcting your bluster about currency rates being the only factor to consider as you insulted 17.4 million voters. I pointed out there are a number of factors to consider when assessing how an economy us doing, not just one. So you stand corrected.
You never seem to keep up boomerbower. The subject was what affected the Lloyds share price- however little that was- and then what affected the pound. You chose to enter a hapless ramble on other things.
Since you have done this , wages are not up because of Brexit plans boosting the economy if that is what you think. Wage increases are not being caused by our economy suddenly becoming stronger. Our growth and jobs creation are teetering around 0, with negative PMI figures due to low investment due in turn to Brexit uncertainty.
The ONS who produce the figures said wages were boosted by "pay increases for some NHS staff and the introduction of the new National Living Wage rate, which is now 4.9% higher than the 2018 rate". Others mention the fact people are going to less secure self employment. Our country has a strong underlying economy - it's a shame to see it being threatened by foolish ideologies - Brexit on one hand and Corbyn on the other.
Crowcast what caused the increase in wages today then crowcast, the increase in employment since the vote, the excellent inward investment Vs peers and the respectable growth. Was that unicorns too? A free floating exchange rate is important and only a fool would pretend the only barometer of an economy was currency. Back to the village crowcast.
Attempts to identify the cause of the blip in Lloyds share price this morning limited by pet theories and the improbable here. Jefferries reiterated its buy rating on Monday for Lloyds. JP Morgan changed its rating to neutral with a target price of 70p today, so that would not affect Lloyds. So that's hardly likely to be the cause.
Monetary policy, and Europe's growth and QE prospects have not changed since yesterday so that's not it either. In fact QE or interest rate falls there tend to lift stocks, and of course the pound which is good for Lloyds.
No the fall relates to damage to the pound .. tske a look at the GBP EUR chart. What xaused that ? Very simple very obvious. The prospect of a madcap Brexit and the Tory leaderships fantasy plans for digging up a golden unicorn the day after one ilof them takes office. Some here welcome Brexit making us poorer for some weird reason though. Take a look at the GBP EUR chart. The good news for Lloyds is Johnson and Hunt's plans are fantasies and they know it. That will very soon become clear. The pound will get some support then and pick up.
