I do love Cuckoos blatent homophobia. Bet he considers himself a right in liberal too. Always very interesting how the most racist and homophobic ppl are left wing like Cuckoo here. Ppl should remember that fascism actually emerged from the left wing, the bazi were national socialists and Jamesroo is certainly the sort who'd have put them in power. Sad someone so fanatical about the EU has such extreme views.

Jamesroo go back to your little desk and say yes sir to your boss in your public sector non job. Leave the money making to the real men.

John you are talking about a crash. That isn't happening. If you are telling me it is sell yr house and rent.

And on Barc that's an ineptly run back whose capital is tied up in the ineptly run investment bank so none is free to grow the retail side. Plus they have a million and 1 fines to pay. Come on when is yr crash starting??

John I have a track record of seeing a bust and investing. There isn't a bust about to happen since America hasn't sneezed.

J46 tell me when your big property crash starts and I'll get my nuclear bunker ready.

TFE enjoy Arizona I bought a house out there after the credit crunch for buttons. Safe to safe the investment has fared better than my Lloyd's one!

And James I'm sure Trumps Mrs is better looking than yours since you raised the subject. Guessing you are a billionaire if Trump is such a loser?

Jamesroo what is their average GDP what is in the EU? Oh look theirs is 60k in the EU it's 36k. I wonder which system works better. And all that fit in the US they don't bail out failing industry forever and a day which is a good thing. That's why they are far far far richer. Stop flirting in EU failure. And as for the constitution Americans wrote it.

Jamesroo say that when the US 5th fleet is outside yr front door with it guns. The US is the only military power on this earth and as it's gun is bigger than everyone else's what it says still goes, especially now chin stroking fool Obama has gone. China is annoying 6 to it still and can't even dominate the US in Asia. This idea that the Chinese currency pile is a rehash of Europe holding lots of dollars in the 60s. Dollar will still be top currency in 100 years time. The Euro will be long gone.

Ebygum yes the US has it wrong on guns but they have it right on just about everything else. Their constitution is light years ahead of anything in Europe as is their system of government. Don't kid yrself. They got to be top dog because they are freer than Europe and much better governed. Government in EU is about petty nationalism. Look at the mighty Germany, it's economy isn't much bigger than California. Where was California 150 years ago? Trump is a far better leader than that idiot Merkal.

Borninusa you really don't understand what the EU is. It's an anti Anglo Saxon old world club that seeks at all times to promote protectionism and undermine what it sees as suspect Anglo Saxon capitalism. It has Napoleonic form of law that jars with our common law. As such UK membership was a bad idea, and the US naivety about the EU club always amuses me. The EU despises the USA and nothing more would please it than to knock the US off top spot or see a civil war there. Simply look at how De gaulle stock piled gold to destroy Bretton Woods, he believed that would undemine the US federal government. That is also the EU agenda it desires top dog status when in reality they'll be a poor third behind China soon.

The culture of the management here is one of complete self interest and a total desire to simply mislead shareholders and feather their own nests. Barclays is proof that handing over a great British bank to so called skilled foreign workers is a recipe for disaster. Whilst they continue urinating money up the wall in their failed investment bank nothing will change. Pity the poor rank and file staff led by these arrogant obnoxious idiots.

And if they are determined in buy backs why not do it now as opposed to waiting till after the brexit deal when this share will have bounced to 75p??

OXO paying them cash would be more tax efficient as this would be a cost which would marginally reduce our tax bill/bottom line. Shareholders just bite the pillow and bear the cost when it comes to free share dilutions. Of course they would want money btw.

Channel 4 news used to be objective and impartial now it's an embarrassing parody. Rather pathetic watching their presenters carefully selected on racial/gender lines sneer at anyone with moderate conservative views. Don't watch it any more even worse than BBC.

I tend to agree and welcome on board. There should be some limited buyback to avoid dilution for share awards. Other than that though excess capital should simply be returned to shareholders. Likely 45bn could be returned to us over the next 10 years if they went dividends plus specials.

Ok Asperger looks like you are expecting another 400m ppi in the Q4 because based on the Q3 run rate the year end should 5.2bn net. You are probably wise but think that'll be the end of PPI provisions.

Asperger where do you get your forecasts for 2019??

2 billion buy back would take off 3.2bn shares at 63p leaving us around 68 billion shares.
