"Correct SS, price would be about 90 or if brexit didn't happen i would imagine we would have at least broken through 100. But then the brexiteers did vote to be poorer! "
Russian money poring into London caused recent house price surge across the UK . Recent anti money laundering laws has forced Russians to clean their money through Greece . Lloy now has exposure to this recent bubble .
Why do you think Without Brexit Lloy would be +90p?
How many people did Stalin kill in the purges? "Many historians have suggested that Stalin was responsible for death total of around 20 million, citing much higher victim totals from executions, Gulag camps, deportations and other causes. Simon Sebag Montefiore suggested that Stalin was ultimately responsible for the deaths of between 20 and 25 million people.." Number of deaths in the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin - ... https://en.wikipedia.org › wiki › Number...
Socialists need to place statistics in perspective ! They're either not right bright or brainwashed .
Lloy is giving out mortgages on property that is +20% overpriced to true values . You need to look at bigger picture and Macro factors . MMs know that , Lloy BOD know it , and most folk live in hope .
"We are currently contemplating raising interest rates from .5% to .75% with the intention of normalising rates at 4-5%,yet we cannot even achieve this first step without the risk of the economy keeling over?."
Who exactly is WE , as any intelligent person knows rates rises are a non starter ?
World War II fatalities of the Soviet Union from all related causes numbered more than 20,000,000, both civilian and military, although the exact figures are disputed. The number 20 million was considered official during the Soviet era. World War II casualties of the Soviet Union - Wikipedia
Don't forget Soviet casualties wouldn't have been as high had there not been a Political Commissar pointing a gun to their backs and Soviet Senior Military looking at their soldiers as mere sheep .
"Many thanks to all who today helped reduce the number of shares in issue by a pitiful 0.5m - WTF UBS???"

"The Gibraltar sovereignty referendum of 2002 was a referendum which was called by the Government of Gibraltar and was held on 7 November 2002 within the British overseas territory on a proposal by the UK Government to share sovereignty of the territory between Spain and the United Kingdom. The result was a rejection of the proposal by a landslide majority, with only just over one per cent of the electorate in favour."

There's no chance of Gibraltarians ever leaving UK . Your logic and investments are unsound
"So far this year, flights to safety have occurred in short-lived bouts spurred, for instance, by the latest twists in trade tensions, without much of a domino effect across asset classes. The VIX Index still sits at its five-year average, while Treasury and currency volatility measures are far below their norms. It’s allowed investors to concentrate on asset- and company-specific drivers, keeping correlations low.
That may change as anxiety creeps back into the market. Emmott points to discussions about policy error that have emerged in the wake of the latest Federal Reserve meeting, the continued difficulty the ECB faces in raising interest rates thanks to macro and political developments and negative data out of China as rendering “the global inflation trade questionable at least.”

Looks like a hard Brexit is a given , as the enlightened know . Without our subsidies EU days numbered . You'd best get out of Financials as asset prices will have further to fall
"The problem with brexiteers is they are dinasores and as they didn't adapt they became extinct. "
Amazing , I was taught a meteorite collided with earth , causing such devastation , the plume of smoke and debris clouded the skies for so long , vegetable matter perished , causing dinosaurs to starve .
I assume your misguided statements about dinosaurs , is you being brainwashed by the Guardian .
I can't believe you have been so easily fooled .

"Seen this .........Bank of Ireland Group PLC said incoming Chairman Patrick Kennedy bought EUR202,350 worth of shares in the company on Friday.
Kennedy bought 30,000 shares at a price of EUR6.745 each. Shares closed 5.4% lower Friday at EUR6.68."
I find it amazing EU bankers are still in denial about their precarious Financial situation . Some of us would call it Ostrich syndrome !
