CET1 is the virgin sacrifice to the gods. Money buried in the ground to no great purpose. The capital requirements for banks are nonsensical and a classic case of regulation fighting the last war. The management should have the balls to take the full 70pts benefit.

Did anyone apart from his mum like Gavin Williamson. Blair's bastard son possibly but with even less morals.

Because idiots in government think plant food (co2) is going to destroy the earth. Unbelievably they have bought this fallacy hook, line and sinker. Ppl will wake up to it in time, especially with this grand solar minimum starting. History will record it as the greatest fallacy since the Roman Catholic church insisted earth was the centre of the universe.

Snige if you can't spot the link between hard left socialism/Marxism and poverty heaven help you. Same goes for Islam and poverty. You vastly overestimate us power in an almost child like way.

And you might find the reason Venuzuela is in the poor is because government steals any private property of value to support a group of ppl who expect government to keep them. Unsurprising then that nobody in their society chooses to create wealth only to see it stolen from them.

Snige you do post a lot of rubbish about the US. So Manduro has no responsibility in your crazy head.

You tell us Poindexter.

Still

Brexit is far less of a mess than HS2. HS2 is the most idiotic project the political class has yet undertaken and supported by them all. Surprise.

Come on crowcast anything EY does is only fit for toilet paper. I have worked with them a lot through the years on many projects. They are pro bs merchants with zero expertise in anything. These are the clowns who created a report that HS2 was economically beneficial. Enough said.

Bruce have to say Oxo is a complete gentleman. The politest poster on the Lloyd's board.

Erv upgraded to first class honours lol

Just leafing through pillar 3 disclosure Barclays international has RWAs 3 times that of Barclays UK. The returns on this UB are dire and preventing Barclays UK growing and make returning profits to share holders impossible. I'm only amazed jes has the front to show up at work when he's clearly so inept.

My thinking Bruce is there is 42bn of tier 1 capital. The mcap is about 27bn. That suggests the assets of the bank and the value add of management is about minus 15 billion. The issue is so much of the tier 1 capital is tied up in the IB. It's rather like the parable of the talents. Our dear JES has buried our talent (tier 1 capital) in the ground (investment bank). About 24bn (talents) tied up with the IB for sweet FA in return. Hopefully Bramson can turn that round and unbury our sleeping capital.

Yes unanalytical crowcast. Hate to break to you kid. You could go to the rain forest and not find a piece of wood.

Erv

Crowcast. Sanctimonious, Condescending, supercilious. Tick tick tick. You neglected unanalytical and ignorant however. 3 outta 5 ain't bad going. Take a 2:1 hons.

Couldn't be bothered to read your post criwcast but the peace in Ireland started in 95 when the IRA announced their cease fire. It's likely in any case violence would have stopped without GFA, American IRA funding would have stopped in 2001 post 9/11 and the whole thing peter out, as funding terrorism wasn't so fashionable even for dim witted left wing yanks.

Save the lectures ignoramus you have never taught me a thing.

The trouble with good Friday was it allowed murderers in power and let many off. These ppl were dinosaurs and the troubles would have petered out anyway as they died when these ppl realised they were ethnically identical anyway.

Crickey the moderator is protecting the inept management on here. I think we share holders have a right to be rude about JES and his utterly inept tenure as CEO. He needs to go. There's a less polite way which begins with F and O.

On point about gearing.
