That’s OK. I was also going to ask Bananaman to dig me a vertical hole so I could be standing up, can’t be seen to be sleeping on the job now and it also saves him space. Better make that a big oval hole as well as I have very broad shoulders.

“ The pound climbed to its highest level in a year after strong economic growth cast fresh doubt over when interest rates will finally be cut ”

Around this time last year it was $1.31 and now it is $1.29. Does this mean we had strong economic growth a year ago as well?

Well after the NATO meeting and ongoing commitments to Ukraine, long distant missiles being based in Germany again the future may not be clear. The markets will be in free fall and by then many of us will be looking at our Lloyds shares at a few pence each.

Ha ha, do I get a request for my last meal?

I guess Miliband’s ban includes fracking. After Putin’s sanctions on gas and oil we could have had our own gas supply right under our feet. Instead we import liquid gas from the USA which I will take a guess at is from the fracking fields.

Never mind, Labour and its woke advisors will cost you and me a fortune in high energy bills.

Well I did a bit of digging and it looks like I found an interesting report that details very well the questions I mentioned in my previous post and tons more. For those interested there are some surprises and some probably not, but make your own decisions on the overall problems.

The answer is not to keep building prison places, that is just putting a sticking plaster over the problem(s).

The questions to ask is why are so many crimes being committed, what are the common denominators, where are the areas of concentrated crimes and a ton more questions which can only be gained by sifting through loads of data.

‘ This site is to report on lloyds related issue not political crap nob heads’

Nothing has changed recently as to how this site functions with respects to political input, in fact it has been like this for many a year, dare I say the last 14 when you and your colleagues hijacked it for Brexit and anti Tory jibes.

Now there is a new team in bat and a new fielding team so the roles are reversed and we give as good as we got. If this isn’t to your taste yo do have options.

This is the latest from the Gov website for small boat crossings.

‘ Britain is a tolerant and compassionate country, and we have a proud tradition of welcoming people fleeing persecution. But the system needs to be controlled and managed and we need strong borders.’

This instantly tells us that the boat people and anyone else in the world are welcome to our shores no questions asked. As I said the the other day, they will be given free tickets on ferries and Eurostar and a house at the end of the rainbow and we will be paying for it. How depressing. The country will be in deeper debt and Lloyds will be on the hook for its homes it thinks it will be building for rental and profit, instead they will be stolen by Labour to give to these people.

A migrant is not someone that is being persecuted, Labour don’t even know the meaning of what a migrant is, sad really.

Haven’t we heard the same over the last 14 years with Labour scuppering any incentive to get the sick, lame and lazy back to work as it would mean cutting back on their benefits. Labour is now actually going to create more cost to the benefit system which will have even more people not working.

A snippet from that article.

In May, Labour criticised former prime minister Rishi Sunak after he said that claiming benefits had become a "lifestyle choice" and that he would tackle a culture of "sick notes".

The Conservatives said Labour had "refused" to match its measures to save billions of pounds from the welfare bill by the end of the next parliament.

But don’t worry, Labour will save £6.4B pounds this year when it suspends the triple lock on the state pension scheme, so they can cut back on this benefit but none of the others.

Below came from Homes Today.

New towns, 1.5m homes and building on the green belt will use up the UK’s entire carbon budget but there are other things Keir Starmer can do, writes Chris Brown

Are we at the start of a new political era?

Or will we see our hopes disappointed? Labour’s manifesto seems doomed to disappoint almost everybody.

The growth that is sought to pay for the, as yet unmade, promises will either appear, and further pollute our air, water and countryside, or it won’t.

Guilty conscience then? Or better still one of your cohorts?

See, if I was truly not guilty I wouldn’t have even responded.

You need to be a bit more savvy and know how to play the game better.

Yes you are right and they also align with L I E B O U R as well I believe, don’t they?

I see STP and his cohorts have been busy in having a number of posts deleted today.

I actually take that as a compliment as it means it ‘strikes a chord’ which they actually can’t disagree with and irritates them to the point they resort to having it removed.

On the Gov website today Labour have this:

‘A Home Office spokesperson said: “Everyone wants to see an end to the dangerous small boat crossings. They are undermining our border security and putting lives at risk. “We are taking action to smash the people smuggling gangs responsible for this …’

Interestingly the new Labour piece doesn’t actually say it wants these people NOT to come here, just not to come over in small boats which is dangerous. We will now see safe passage for them on French ferries and Eurostar with an address for a new four bedroom home all paid for once they are on UK shores.

Yesterday the page that was showing from when the Tories updated it said that in the last three years they had smashed 82 smuggling gangs which averages 2 a month.

I wonder what part the Labour missed on seeing this and have come up with brand new idea/plan themselves that they are going to smash smuggling gangs that no one else thought of. Wish I had cut and saved it now. Let’s see if Labour can better 2 busted gangs a month more than the Tories did.

Never mind our indigenous people who lose homes through job loss, marriage break ups or just living rough in door ways as they aren’t eligible for one of the new 1.5 million free homes.

My error, BBC does work, it was f a g, sorry for that.

Just found out you can’t actually say B B C without the gaps.

Censorship protection for the B B C but it is OK to quote any other media organisation.

Let’s see if B B C gets through, if it doesn’t then I will call them DDC if that works better.

and the *** packet calculation for 2035 on a bbc web page says it will rise to £3.6b

Reeves is quoted as saying “We will cap the headline rate of corporation tax at its current rate of 25% for the next parliament. And should our competitiveness come under threat, if necessary, we will act.”

Well that competitiveness has started less than a week of being in post with Dyson cutting the workforce. How soon before other companies follow?

If she wants us to be creative on jobs and inward investment then CT must come back down again to at least 20% or lower. Maintaining it where it is means stagnation for the country and more jobs lost and more people on benefits..

We have another excuse and joke of a Labour MP in Matthew Pennycook, the new housing minister. He objected back in 2021 to a £770 million housing project on a brown field site because the buildings were going to be too tall.

What he really meant was NIMBY thank you. Leopards don’t change their spots. Good old Labour from the past shining through again.
