I've personally never see him say anything offensive or particularly rude. Either way, I'd rather deal with someone that had a negative view of Lloyds than any of the fascist wannabe's on here that hold genuinely disgusting hateful views.

Doubt it has much to do with the court date. The date will likely just get kicked further down the road, as it has been for a long time. Still, doesn't inspire me with confidence.

Lost a lot of money on this share if I sold now, just going to have to hold until boom or bust. Depressingly looking like the latter at the moment. This has seen nothing but negative action for the last 14 months.

Tbf didn't Falky just call a bunch of Falkland oil shares that just went up 50-100% in the last few days? Better tips than I've seen from anyone else here.

I honestly don't understand the anger towards him when he is fairly honest about his opinion and doesn't seem to crap on anyone else. A lot more loathsome characters on here..

Another right-wing fascist roundly beaten at the polls, you love to see it.

To be fair you have no idea how much stock he has and no idea why he might need £400k. There are a million reasons why he would, but if any of them were seriously damaging to the company you can bet your ass he wouldn't be the only person selling.

I think you'll find a lot of people DO actually care if a business has better sustainable credentials than its competitors. Although I fail to understand what exactly is "political correctness" about it?

Only a fool would deny climate change is happening and only a fool would think it won't impact every aspect of life. It makes absolute sense for ALL businesses to strive towards net zero as ALL businesses will, sooner or later, be affected.

The only people it won't affect are those near the end of their life, but I'd hope that they might at least consider the future of their children and grandchildren. Then again caring about others is a uniquely woke, liberal quality... apparently...

It's actually a bit more nefarious than that. They have a library of article templates and all they really do is change the name of the author and change the name of the share. If you look across a load of their articles it is exactly the same content being repeated ad nauseam.

It would not surprise me at all if the entire website was ran by a very small group of people that simply pay analysists a small fee to attach their name to pre-written content.

A yes let's blame a GLOBAL banking crisis on Labour policies, makes total sense.

And of course I selectively quoted it, it's a huge article, but literally every quote is just data. I know you fascists hate to argue with data, but sadly it speaks for itself.

I know you are being disgenuine, but I'd vote for Greens, LibDem and Labour before I ever voted Tory. I don't particularly like Labour, but sometimes you have to hack off a leg to save the body. The Tory government is literally only capable of one thing, and that's making their rich mates even richer. They simply don't know how to govern. I've given you a decade of examples how all our lives are markedly worse under Tory rule.

Now of course most right-wing morons think they are millionaires in waiting, but if they took a second to actually look around, they'd quickly realize that they are voting in the very party that makes their miserable lives so crap.

hardup, here's a short history lesson via a quick glance at Wikipedia:

"In 2009, the term age of austerity, was popularised by Conservative Party leader David Cameron. In his keynote speech to the Conservative Party forum in Cheltenham on 26 April 2009 he declared that "the age of irresponsibility is giving way to the age of austerity"

"The austerity programme was initiated in 2010 by the Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition government."

"The Conservative government claimed that the National Health Service and education have been "ringfenced" and protected from direct spending cuts, but between 2010 and 2019 more than £30 billion in spending reductions have been made to welfare payments, housing subsidies and social services."

"The austerity programme included reductions in welfare spending, the cancellation of school building programs, reductions in local government funding, and an increase in VAT. Spending on the police, courts and prisons was also reduced."

"A report by the Arts Council England revealed that arts and culture have suffered a £236 million (20%) decline since 2010"

"The emergence of austerity and subsequent cuts to local government funding has caused library services to suffer - including the closure of almost 800 public libraries since the launch of austerity in 2010."

"museums suffered a 13% reduction in funding, resulting in the closure of at least 64 museums between 2010 and 2019 and visitor numbers halving from 8,000 to 4,000 between 2010 and 2015.*

"Following the introduction of the Welfare Reform Act 2012 the number of children in "relative poverty" increased, with the total by 2019 around 600,000 higher than it had been in 2012. During those seven years the number of children obtaining food from the food banks of The Trussell Trust more than tripled."

"When the coalition government came to power in 2010, capital investment in new affordable homes was cut by 60%"

"Research was published in 2018 by Shelter analysing government data. It indicated that all forms of homelessness had increased since 2010 and that the number of households living in temporary accommodation had risen to more than 79,000."

"The rate of increase in life expectancy in England nearly halved between 2010 and 2017, according to research by epidemiology professor Michael Marmot. He commented that it was "entirely possible" that austerity was the cause."

******

I could go on and on and on. Literally every measurable metric of society has become worse in the last decade since the Tories came to power. It's ALL THERE in black and white. Less culture, less food, less homes, shorter lives. Anyone that votes Tory is either completely blind to the reality of the UK, or just doesn't give a crap about it. Pick your poison, call yourself a Tory voter all you want, just don't call yourself a patriot because if you loved this country you'd vote for anyone else.

See now when I say "education funding has decreased over the last decade" I say that because it is a documented and verifiable fact.

When you say, "My children didn't have to learn times tables as they were all given calculators . I did my own home schooling after work , now have 2 Engineers and youngest should get her Maths degree next month" it is an anecdotal story that really has nothing to do with anything other than your own life.

Congratulations on having successful children (genuinely), but unfortunately no one was criticizing your parental ability.

My comment, as mentioned, was based on fact, as that is generally how I prefer to approach my political views. I prefer that because approaching them by feeling and the narrow perspective of personal anecdotes is the sort of thing that drives nasty tribalism...you know...the sort of nasty tribalism that leads to calling someone presenting facts you don't agree with a "Labour activist plant"

"public services crumbling in the hands of out-of-control red unions"

What in god's name is this fool on about. Public services are crumbling after years of underinvestment by Tory governments. They allow national services to deteriote so the private sector can swoop in an "fix" them, which in reality means squeezing as much profit from the public as possible for a few wealthy individuals.

This underfunding is most evident in education, where we have a large portion of the electorate that is as dumb as skier1.

It wasn't about immigration it was about £350 mil a week for the NHS. It wasn't about £350 mil a week for the NHS, it was about immigration.

They just say whatever they want to suit the current argument because the reality is the UK inflicted the worst economic damage to the country in decades by choice, and that choice was motivated by hatred of migrants.

A nation of people so insecure in their own identity that they think a tiny portion of migrants will "ruin" UK culture. Despite cities like London with huge migrant populations actually having really awesome diverse cultures.

It's just typical narrow-minded crap from people afraid of what they don't know. People that have never travelled or experienced other cultures. And people that are so miserable in their own crappy life, that they need an enemy to focus on, because they are so emotionally damaged that they could never realize the problem is them. It's brown people, it's poor people, it's liberals, wah wah wah. Cry cry cry. All because they cannot accept they might be wrong about Brexit, about Conservatism and who the real enemy is.

I'm glad you at least admit the Brexit vote was driven largely by xenophobia and racism and nothing really to do with economics, but I don't understand how that is meant to convince me that your motives aren't simple xenophobia.

I think you'll find most of your "undesirable migrants" (i.e. brown people) are also escaping war enacted by right-wing authoritarians btw, not that it matters because anyone should have a right to live here and contribute to our society.

I do always find it funny the exact political doctrine hard-right bigots subscribe to is the main cause of immigrants coming into the UK in the first place. It's almost as if it's a completely toxic ideology that always ends up with "undesirables" in camps - such as in Rwanda.

Funny you dance around it, say all the dog whistle phrases, but can't just say it. Why are Nazis so shy these days?

The thing I find funny is neither of you two clearly bigotted fascists will ever admit you just don't like non-whites. That's clearly all it is. Don't hide behind you want "sensible immigration control" because you don't, you just don't want brown people in the UK.

We both know damn well it's got nothing to do with anything else than hateful, dangerous ignorance.

Immigrants contribute more than they take out of the purse, that's well documented.

And let's not pretend it's anything other than naked racism, which it is. No one has any issue with Ukranian refugees coming here because they are white, but as soon as non-whites arrives we ship them to Africa.

It's fuhking heartless, fascist, bullcrap. There's no such thing as an illegal person and when they contribute to society what is the problem?

"They take our jobs" they say, aye the ones we don't want which is why we have pigs being burned by the thousands and produce rotting in the fields.

I loathe anti-immigration rhetoric because it's not even based on good fiscal policy or societal issues, it's just simple naked xenophobia and racism.

Brixton

What a surprise, a fascist loves hearing about inhumane treatment of non-white people. I despair for this nation. All our grandparents that died fighting the Nazis and for what? So we can be a nation of them... Sickening.

"Now is not the time for leadership change" - what leadership?

We changed leaders during World War 2, but for some reason can't do it during a conflict in which we aren't even directly involved? A conflict that could, and likely will by most analysists forecasts, drag on for years?

It's a pathetic, transparently disgenuine and dishonest argument.

I think you'll find most people do care. You can't be a lawmaker and break the law. You can't tell people to do one thing then do the other and then lie about it to parliament and to the country.

I'd sincerely hope people would put aside party loyalty for a moment and recongize that BJ has never been fit to lead this country and his government has achieved diddly squat since he was elected. The only thing this current government has achieved is siphoning billions of pounds of public money (fraudulanty wasted on PP, track & trace contracts) to their mates.

This current government is a bloody scandal and the fact they have ANY support, let alone a strong one, tells you all you need to know about the state of our electorate and the power of the right-wing press.

You know if someone called me a ****** bigot, I'd protest quite hard and try and convince them that I wasn't the worst type of person in society. But then again I have a sense of morality and dignity.
