"clearly out begging on behalf of the government to lease accommodation from any landlords willing to help the government out in its desperation"
As I said, Serco won contracts to house and support asylum seekers. What would you have them do instead?
"my post was not about 'migrants'"
Oh . Please can you explain the relevance of the link to the Serco article then? I must have misunderstood your intention when you preceded it with "here's an example of how community destruction begins".
"The end game (by 2030) is to have complete government (it isn't the government, that's a fig leaf) control over 80% + of private property"
Sounds like its quite a worry for you Tygra. The end game doesn't look seven and a bit years away from being achieved, does it?
"here's an example of how community destruction begins"
Serco and several other companies won contracts to house and support asylum seekers. They have to source accommodation from the private rental market within the lowest quartile of rent payable in that area.
The fact that (for completely unrelated reasons) it may become less rewarding to be a buy to let landlord is not necessarily a bad thing in my opinion. Reading your post makes me think you are a bit of a fantasist who wants to scapegoat migrants needing to be housed as some sort of covert vehicle for inter Governmental acquisition of private wealth.
It doesn't really make any sense to me.

"jumping into a conversation you were not involved in to try to impose your view"
No, I intervened on a public forum in a thread where you had begun to assume you could speak for everyone. If you want a private room for private chats then go find one.
Otherwise accept this is a public forum where anyone has the right to reply. Think about that before you post. I have the right to assert that no-one else can claim to speak for me.
Do you get it yet?

“given the current outlook”
I meant outlook in the sense of anticipating the difficulty people will experience as bills increase this winter that may cause them to fall into arrears. Id prefer to bet for a drop in process and find it doesn't happen than to assume it wont, and then find it does. Perhaps I am overly pessimistic but it doesn't seem a great outlook for me personally and I am better off than many other mortgagees ie small loan to value, permanent employment, little other debt etc
" I should have said "such posts are of no interest except to idiots"."
"such posts are of no interest to me" would have been sufficient and also more accurate.
"are of no interest to anyone" infers that no one here is interested.

Im not unhappy with results, or provision for impairment and keen to see income grow slowly and steadily upwards. Im only guessing 1.60p for next divi but still feel the business is good to hold shares in. I didn't quite understand the panicky headlines this morning.

I'd be well up for chips after walking around the Muir of Ord countryside, looks gorgeous.
My local is 519 miles closer though.
"Lloyds profits and should go back to shareholders"
A sustainable level of profit returned to shareholders is what i'd like and in the long run what I think supports the SP best. My first impression was it felt prudent of them to accrue for likely debts and to do so generously, given the current outlook. In the event they overestimate the actual level then the surplus will be returned, if not then it has less of a shock impact in the next quarter. And I noticed others also speculate a little on whether such generous provision may also be wise in the face of some continuing debate about a bank windfall tax and I tend to agree with them.

I called you arrogant because you stated " ...are of no interest to anyone".
Who are you to talk for anyone else on this board?
It was an accurate observation, not an insult. Arrogant means "an exaggerated sense of one's own importance".
I chose the word carefully as you appear to have become a self appointed spokesman for this board by claiming you know certain posts are of no interest to anyone.
Well, I quite like Hardup and LTI's posts.
So I was not insulting you, I was correcting you. I also gave you feedback on how it feels to have someone else claim they speak for everyone.
Do you understand now?
