No! Not when it concerns UK banking, HM treasury , the BOE and FCA. As a shareholder you have no rights and should be grateful to the aforementioned to what you receive. Should the three Marxist amigos get into Number 10 you as a Lloy shareholder will get a kick up the a3se instead of the divi.

phoning a friend

Be that as it may. Brexit also has an impact on the Lloy SP but any discussion that rebuts the Remain perspective ie opposes the view spouted by CC/JF etc is deemed to be of a political nature and as such is not permitted. Look at it in a different way, CC is not getting paid now so maybe he/she will move on. Lloy unreasonably perhaps become a proxy for the UK economy since it was neutered by the FSA/FCA to "punish" it and its shareholders for the financial crisis. The perception of where our UK economy is heading over the next 12 months therefore has a direct impact on the Lloy SP. Clearly the perception is likely to be wrong as it has been since the Referendum in 2016 as has been demonstrated clearly in the Lloy earnings progression, its dividend policy and even the much maligned buy-back. I would contest that Armageddon s priced into the Lloy SP as the dire projections by the architects of Project Fear have failed to materialise and our economy is sailing along quite reasonably despite the modest headwinds experienced in the housing market wrt prices in London and the SE. Mortgage lending, new and remortgages are strong according tis the latest figures as house buyers are getting tired of waiting for Brexit. lloy NIMs are holding up well which is really all we need to be concerned about. As ever though in the short term MSM's twisted version of what is right for our economy is getting in the way of the good story that is Lloy. earnings up, Lending up, Nims's stable to up, Mortgage defaults stable and manageable, end of PPI, a rock solid balance sheet and increasingly over-capitalised despite the BOE's best efforts to push capital buffers to ever higher levels to better reflect increasingly ludicrous future economic scenarios.

this is too far off piste. There is no Lloy in your submission so therefore falls outside the BB guidelines. Don't be surprised if the Dobber strikes again and his this removed.

Lloy were given little option by HMG and BOE wrt HBOS. FSA then forced fire sale of "compromised" assets post merger to "clean up" balance sheet. Shareholders got raped and HMG "bought" in. So far only HMG has managed to get out with a handsome profit.

when they are bought back as opposed to recycled

It was amazing ! stayed in Gevry Chambertin for a few days then near Mearsault. Cycled the the grand cru route from Chambertin to Nuits St Georges not taking account of the fact that it was uphill and against the wind on the way back! Ate extremely well and went to tastings every day, learnt quite a bit has to be said. Picked up some very nice Grand crus for keeping and some very nice young (17) Puligny Montrachet from De Melin well worth getting imo. Hospice de Beaune was amazing and well worth visiting. Golf got worse with each round and lost count of the number of balls lost. Car held up fine and no one was hurt so happy days !

that Trump now want to do a free trade deal with the UK post Brexit asap. I wonder how that's going to smooth off the WTO "cliff edge" Remain and the critical thinking Labour hard left are so worried about.

thank you! cheers!

in 2016 gross contribution was £18.9bn according to ons.gov.uk/economy/governmentpublicsectorandtaxes/publicsectorfinance/artoc;les//theukcontribution/ so F.O.

Boris did not lie. Gross contribution £18.9bn net 13.9bn. £359m/week was the gross contribution. whats bunch of to$$ers these retainers are. Made even worse that they brought the case through crowd funding to pay a bunch of low life lawyers who no doubt used to pursue bogus PPI claims .

They may want us out because they know we are going to be a pain in the proverbial, but not without coughing up a load of reddies. I heard somewhere that the Brexit Party is going to be the single largest party in the EU assembly. If so it may well become a magnet for other EU sceptic parties posing a real headache for the Brussels "elite" who will fear losing grip on their unaccountable undemocratic socialist federal utopian dream.

inevitable- He is too right wing.

indeed CC/JF etc etc etc makes a change from the leftie garbage from the Guardian we have had thrown at us day in day out.

Alison Pearson on the front page of today's Daily Telegraph sums things up very nicely! Well worth a read.

in anticipation of an RNS at 1.30pm today?

That three years on we are no further and the split remains the same heho

catch a little of World at one on R4 just now. I t strikes me that media still feel that however takes over is going t face the slam difficulties wrt to arithmetic in the HoC. In other words i guess is that untrustworthy t%ssers who have been misrepresenting their respective constituencies are going to continue to do so and thwart the will of the people. This may well be so and we may well be arguing the toss in 12 months time having mas=de no progress at all. I therefore hope that the EU elections deliver a truly crushing blow to the current political establishment and that local constituencies follow through and stat deselection proceedings against any MP failing to tow comstuency directives. Leaving the EU is one thing but re-establishing democracy must not be overlooked. Shame Donald has already used the phrase in his campaigns, but drain the swamp we must.

she will have the last laugh as takes up a nice EU commission job as a reward for trying to con Britain into EU's bike shed.

fair enough. You would agree then that are more nutters on the far left in this country then on the right and that the existential threat in Europe is an order of magnitude greater than here.
