"So was Starmer responsible for things that failed to happen at the DPP because he was in charge"
its not my view. But I wonder about Johnson making that comment in the commons. Starmers team made a decision based on lack of evidence - that isn't quite the same as flouting the rules for your own benefit. Johnson may well prove me wrong and survive for years yet though.
Reuters fact check reported "But the suggestion of a link between the handling of the cases and Starmer is baseless. The CPS is in charge of prosecuting crimes in England and Wales and is independent from the police and government (www.cps.gov.uk/about-cps). Starmer, the current Labour Party leader, was the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and Head of the CPS from 2008 until 2013 (here). He was not the reviewing lawyer in charge of probing the Savile allegations."

"showed complete contempt for the voters with their conduct with the lockdown parties!"
amongst many other things
johnson brought up Savile.
now he's a dead man walking

"means Lloyds Banking Group has lost its significant influence on the UK economy."
my take on lloyds is that its subservient to uk economy, not a determinant.
you are mildly on point for once though
and I agree Major was the best of the worst.

Confirmation that rate rises are only temporary .

''The rate of new house builds has been a problem for decades''
"The rate of population growth has been a problem for decades"
The rate of new build housing has not kept pace with population growth.
This is the problem. It is a more complex and nuanced argument than can be explained by just alternately blaming supply and demand.

"feel Hargreaves Lansdown is a good bet, Market cap £6B!"
has been on my wanted list for ages but I haven't free'd up the cash to buy yet. Look how low they are now, 2017 prices. And where is the risk for HL? They don't lend and have captured much of the middle class pension market. I cant see any risk at all. They didn't even get slammed for Woodford.

I will assume you are a previous poster with a new identity, unless you care to enlighten me?
It seems to be a fairly regular event here.

"Sam67 ... yeah ."
But no. F off, I have had enough of your rants. No-one spoke to you about a tavern. You don't even listen. And you don't seem to have anything else to do; which is an unlucky combination for the forum. Go blow your hot air up your welsh mountain restaurant and it wont need LPG.

You may end up here just by yourself at this rate

Not exactly about lloyds but it really reminded me of this forum.

Well, Pippa, Plato, Tantalum, whatever their faces are called, I hope it really is too much coke thats the problem here.

Plato
"....but carbon dioxide is as harmless as a grazing animal".
Phew. Next COP is scheduled for November 7-18 this year. Please write and tell it to them as you will be able to save everyone from having to make so many sacrifices. It would be amazing if they haven't heard of you or Tantalum already.

I notice Tantalum has a very similar writing style to Plato.
I've never been good with people that have more than one face.

"Pippa is a honest as the day is long"
That's never been in question. 'Curve ball' is a fairly restrained metaphor to describe their narrative though; conviction beliefs are more like a Yorker or a Full Toss. Nothing to especially object to but it's clear our opposing views on best use of resources and environmental degradation wont be resolved. And that means I should remember a LLOY chat forum isn't the place to keep demonstrating that.

Theosus
"Yes that's why..."
Ah. I'm the last to realise, but now it all makes far more sense.
Or at least "sense" in that particular context.
Thanks.

Theosus
Why do you call Plato Pippa?

Plato
Were you previously PippaPeaches?

"Have you studied physics."
i took an O level in 1983, so No is the real answer.

You and I have completely opposite values about the environment and climate crisis. Let's just leave it at that. Please don't bait with me your comment on coal and peat.
I can see no point in discussing these things with you Plato and to be honest I find you harmless but rather unhinged.
