"the current share price being 30% higher than the 52 week low"

Damn, you are good at this. Thank you, I'll try reacting to it that way. I will probably need the capital back in Dec 2026 when my mortgage fix expires, so its not brown trouser day for me just yet. And I do enjoy the tax free dividends twice a year.

"LLOY pricing level improving for share buybacks"

LTI you are definitely the master of the ironic silver lining. I do hope LBG commence another buyback in February, as we are certainly getting in the zone to make the most benefit from it. I'll try and focus on that, instead of seeing it as a 16% drop from the 2024 year high and fast approaching the legendary 50p status.

"Still no bears on here"

I think they are all still in the woods with their trousers down.

"there are so many bulls on here we obviously are nowhere near the bottom"

This board features a tiny number of retail investors whose actions and words are totally irrelevant to share price movements?

"capitulation phase"

I was hoping that had occurred in October to November 24, when it fell from £3.90 to £1.85. I would have thought mosst people who are still holding now are in for the long term? Call me an optimist, but I liked QBA's comment "The moment CBG comes out with a provision, the quantification, visibility and removal of uncertainty will see the share price rocket."

How low do you believe this will go?

Pineapple

"anything before that is flushing money down the toilet"

Is that a cryptic way of saying you're expecting the sp to only head downwards from here? Just curious why you think that.

What an outrageous hypocrite you are! That was written by Egan and Rafferty for goodness sake, a great tune. Did you get out of the bed the wrong side this morning?

Great to see this recovering from such a gloomy start at 8.00am this morning. Steady climbing, finally all the way back into the blue. Close Bros also getting a good bounce today at over 2.5% up.

"Russagold66 is another new ID for Lloydslandlord"

I think you're right there Hardup, well spotted. Use of emojis suggests he's actually paid a subscription this time, which is a truly bizarre development. He likes dissing Lloyds so much, now he is prepared to pay for the pleasure?

MV

Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right. Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.

Hardup

lovely. every cloud etc.

Down again today then

"Mararararararab on the other hand, just comes on to moan at others"

But, essentially, he is also completely without malice. And occasionally he's also very funny.

LTI

"DNA is a further tool to back up other clues that could then be used for the purpose of deportations"

How exactly?

Hardup

What would that tell you that justified the cost?

MV

Think really carefully. Imagine my parents were Nigerian and all their ancestors had come from Nigeria for many generations. They legally move to the UK and become UK citizens. They produce me and I am born in Dorset. What will my DNA tell you? That my parents and their ancestors had West African heritage? Or will it tell you that I was born in Dorset? DNA can be used to estimate the geographic origins of ones ancestors. A mouth swab is not going to tell you precisely where I was born, but it will prove whether these people were my parents, if you swab them too and compare our results. Swabbing all immigrants may well give you an inflated sense of power and control, but it wont tell you where they were born.

"British nationals even if of foreign parentage would not decide to cross the channel in a boat or not have proof of identity, would they?"

People who have a right to reside here would not risk their lives, so this is a pointless comment.

"If they found a body or remains on a beach in Kent say, the authorities would take a DNA sample, and they could deduce from where it most likely originated ."

Really? How is that exactly? Are you a geneticist? Are you telling me that from a mouth swab you can tell my birthplace?

"do a crime here and the police will take your DNA and you could be convicted on it"

If you leave your DNA (ora fingerprint) at a crime scene you wil be proven as having been there. How is that connected to your birthplace? If you think about this really carefully you will realise you are very mistaken.

"But you try to twist the argument, the subject matter was about those hiding their RECENT homeland departure points."

Rubbish MV, this is what Chid actually posted:

"it would not be hard to do a dna swab on everyone arriving, paperwork or not, to show where they belong, and return them"

He knows that is absolute nonsense and so do you.

"I take it you think only the European races moved about through history."

Right, thats why I suggested his head was repatriated back to Asia then, dimwit. Try responding to what I post instead of trying to fabricate ways to make yourself sound superior.

Very pleased to see it lift again after a dismal performance on Friday. I would prefer slow and steady progress back upwards without creating new gaps.

Chid

Its very odd that you couldn't reply on the thread I replied to, but instead had to name me on a new one?

"bones Centuries old are used to 'discover' the origin of person"

"take small amounts from teeth"

Thats moved on a long way in one reply from saying "take a swab" hasn't it? An honest reply from you would have been to admit you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about at all, so you just make sh*t up to pretend there are easy answers that can solve the problem by enforced repatriation. I would be very happy to see you volunteer to be swabbed and then repatriated to the ancestral origin shown by your DNA. Particularly as it would show a range of percentages coming from different regions. So your legs could be repatriated to Northern Europe, your severed head can go to Asia, and your b*llocks can stay in Croydon.
