''And guess where they will all head for next?''

you would think that any deportations would be to where they came.Not good for EU relations to simply let them choose a bordering country to skip into.Also up to bordering countries not to allow them in, if that was the plan.

'' you are missing the point''

No I am not missing the point, but I made my point that I am opposed to 'on shore'.

''This is the future''

I am assuming a thumbs up from you otherwise you would not have posted - but did you actually look at the whole of the video.

''to manufacture on shore wind turbine blades for UK market.''

I am completely opposed to on shore wind turbines and on shore solar farms on our already very crowded small island.

''Are you suggesting putting coal bunkers back into everyone’s garden or having huge chimneys pumping out ash and soot everywhere covering everyone in a 50 mile radius depending on which direction the wind is blowing?''

I think you are not thinking clearly once again.

Do you not think that the suggestion was about coal being used to generate electricity.

No thanks

The EU is the EU no matter what the politics at any given time is in it's individual STATES.

It is all about UK's independent sovereignty .

Our illegal immigrant problem via small boat channel crossings has been a failure on the part of the EU to deal with who has been allowed to pass through it's external borders in the first place, to then have had the freedom to travel to the French coast.

Any change in politics/policies within the EU and it's individual states to deal with the problem, will of course be more than welcome.

Once in the UK it has been a failure of UK politics that has meant we now have about 1.5 million illegals in the country (virtually all in England) that need to be removed, and not forgetting the removal of migrants who are currently legal, once their visas have expired but not allowed an extension. These will be part of the over 10 million people in the country who were not born here.

A good business for the makers of wind turbines, considering the lifespan is only 25 years.

At this moment in time, is producing less than 19% of our needs

''buying Russian gas''

we are not buying Russian gas

Ant

''Really, I never thought of that''

Obviously not, as highlighted in the incompatible comment-

''We can and should be smarter than just burning gas.''

which is not a smart thing to say as it is non wind and solar generation that can be guaranteed to generate electricity for us. Wind cannot be guaranteed to blow to generate electricity 24/7.

Ant

''Has the penny dropped yet that without electricity your central heating system will not work''

??

what has that got to do with how the electricity needed is generated?.

It is a question of guaranteeing that electricity is available 24/7, and preferably with zero having to be imported. The UK should be self sufficient in electricity generation, guaranteed 24/7.

''Love that idea''

same answer to you - you should know better.

Also with dividends already maxed out instead of a progressive policy, the market would now be speculating by how much the dividend will be slashed by.

The market does not like dividends being slashed.

Q

''If we were to follow your logic that would imply the lower the share price the better. ''

Yes of course, as I have always said, on maintained profitability, the lower the share price the better for buybacks. I said the same when at about 40p less than a year ago, but the 2024 programme ended up having to pay an average 54.25p.

''I for one would not like to see a falling share share price ( 40p, 30p, 20p, 10p and then bust )''

I don't think anyone mentioned going bust. 10p per share with the same profits would be tremendous wouldn't it. A dividend yield of over 30% and £2 Billion to remove 20 Billion shares.I would soon own the whole of Lloyds at that rate..

''Let us shareholders have +5p a share instead in the form of yearly dividends.''

Not starting on that all over again - you will get the same response as everyone else. Over 99% of shareholder votes wanted share buybacks .Learn to respect a vote.

The logic is that with big additional provisions, it will likely result in a subdued share price making any monies put into a buyback programme go further.

My example would mean the same net result as far as reducing the share count goes, with the reduced £500 million amount going towards provisions instead. So if the same share reduction result , a positive thought process would be that the additional provision has cost Zero.

Currently at 4.85%

''Is this your prediction of 2025 buybacks LTI?''

NO - how can anyone predict how the BOD's will react to others speculating that they will be paying out Billions for a' car scam' scam.

Lloyds currently have a policy to return excess capital o shareholders by way of share buybacks.

''Timing certainly is all''

''that unless sold''

I last made a sale at a 53p/£38 Billion valuation followed by 4 purchases at much lower levels.

''we all know where we could have done better.''

Yes, I altered my next selling point from reaching a £38 Billion valuation again to £40 Billion, but am I bothered - no, I still have the shares receiving dividends.

NC

I am so glad that I bought loads and loads of Lloyds shares on 21st Sept 2020

rather than buying gold

''I do hope LBG commence another buyback in February''

and not forgetting that a £1.5 Billion programme buying shares at an average 50p would remove about the same amount of shares as a £2 Billion spend at about 67p. Swings and roundabouts.
