Richard basically right. Net off the impacts of immigration and growth would likely be negligible. Look around government destroying productivity everywhere you look. Take the energy sector domestic electricity now costs DOUBLE that in America. This desire to stop emitting plant food is destroying manufacturing and much of our remaining productive economy. Imagine the aviation industry is next. Just look at the co2 levies that killed the steel industry. It will continue. Meanwhile in China they open a coal fire power station a week so what we do here is totally irrelevant. Eventually this will impact on all corporation like Lloyd's because an economic model reliant on ever expanding population isn't sustainable.

Thanks LTI. We've discussed this before and you are entirely spot on in your analysis as per.

Quite right lti on housing. Similarly all dual incomes have achieved is children being bought up badly and house prices doubling. All on the alter on the god of GDP and big business. Was ever a human born who thought gee wish I spent more time working in their deathbed?

Be honest Pat you are on here hoping your relation keeps his cushy parliament job. The best thing this country could do is cut these waistrels down in HoC to about 500 and abolish the house of lords and replace with replace of regional representatives 2 per half million of population.

The agree Lloyd's is worth about 80p.

I don't really care pat it's obvious this political uncertainty is affecting bank valuations. If they want to ban me for life for stating facts good luck to them. I couldn't care less.

As foolish posts go Mr LSE that takes the biscuit. Please explain how brexit isn't relevant to lloyds sp when just talk of a deal causes the share price to rise 12%?

The chaps in parliament seem intent on giving Boris a 50 seat majority. Never seen turkey's voting for Xmas quite on this scale. What do they suppose will happen come election time?

What a load of drivel. This idiocy that all non voters count for remain. Quite the most specious argument I ever did hear. Non votes don't count in the UK.

We hunt birds with wind turbines now in the UK. Birds love being lacerated by spinning blades, it's wonderfully new age. It's far better than just leaving the surface pristine and mining coal from the ground, the prophets of doom, whose livelihood depends on forecasting doom, tell us so! Amen.

Correct lti there is zero mandate for a referendum. Zero appetite in the public too.

Best to wait and see what Q3 brings. Feel the uphold rare in these ppi cases will be low but processing them is very costly. The final bill for ppi will be about 21bn. Not pleasing.

Why would it be a final referendum stage? Even if remain lost again it seems very unlikely the clowns who've spent 3 years wrecking this would accept it anyway.

Roo pure delusion ain't the votes in the HoC for a second vote. End of.

Bramson is right the investment bank ain't delivered in ages and is a huge capital sponge. 1 swallow does not a summer make.

Pat you can have a second referendum just after the 1st has been implemented.

Could anyone eat that Marxist pasta dish even with penne?

Pat you are a realist so is Oxo though. Think it's unfair to describe him as a fanatic. Your points are fair enough and give a remain perspective here. Ultimately what we write here affects bugger all.

The EU (french) are perfectly aware this is the best deal they'll get off us. Dealing with Johnson post election would be far harder for them.

There won't be another referendum pat. Hard British cheese n all. All yesterday achieved was adding 5 to ten seats to Boris majority. Now edging up to around 30.
