True, ultimately I assume we're both shareholders in the LLOY and want the company to do well, good divi's and SP growth :)

Very interesting and fair dos - I just can't see how Farage can appeal. I've spent my life working in the NHS and I imagine you've been in the private sector. I'm sure both our paths have coloured our views on life and the sort of society we want.

I got a distinction in Msc Applied Histochemistry - you?

This could rise rapidly to the 70's, below my average of 80p but I'll have to be patient. GLA

Rather Cooper than that agitating spiv Farage whose supporters have an average age of 68, an IQ of 68 and wish they were living in 1968.................

Farage is the biggest bell end in history

We need a proper Centre party. Split off the remainer Tories, the Centre-right Labour join these with the Indies and LibDems to form a new party - proper 3 party politics where consensus and compromise become the norm.
Great SP rise today - could be in the 70's if parliament backs May / Corbyn mash up.

Agreed, the calculation assumes no change in market sentiment and a reduction of issued shares by 3.4%. Of course if Lloyds adopt a similar buy back strategy for the next 5 years, that could encourage significant institutional buys which, in tandem with significant reduction in shares in issue, could see a major revaluation of the share price. Definitely a medium / long hold for a good return here.

In my estimation the £1.7 billion buy back will equate to an increase in share price of 2.5p if the average price paid is 65p (and they are cancelled as promised). This could help SP hit 70p next year :)

Recognising the Brextreemists for utter bell ends they are.

I've been out of this one for some years and am thinking of a modest investment again next week. One reason I think that the VOD future could be brighter is the growing mistrust in the western world of some of it's rivals. Huawei's fall from grace could be spectacular and VOD could be a beneficiary. Other non-western rivals will get a higher degree of scrutiny going forwards in terms of data security.

533,253 UK deaths 2017 - well over 1 million since 2016 who majority would have voted Brexit (a bit senile, fixated on the good old 1950's and 60's, mistrust of Johnny Foreigner etc) plus over one million new voters most likely to vote Remain. No wonder the Brextreemists are getting jittery.......................
Argue against those stats zoros

(Sharecast News) - Britain would vote to stay in the European Union by a 12% margin in a second referendum, revealed a new poll by YouGov taken on 16 January.

The results of the poll were distributed by the People's Vote campaign which want a second vote to revert Brexit.

"The Remain lead, 12%, is the highest yet," Peter Kellner, former president of YouGov told The People's Vote campaign.

Out of 1070 adults, the poll showed 48% would vote remain, 38% would vote leave, 6% would not vote and 7 % did not know how they would vote.

The NEW WILL OF THE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have an idea to force a Brexit decision. Give the HOC a deadline eg Jan 31 to pass a majority Brexit deal. If they fail a Peoples Vote is triggered - Leave with no deal or Remain. Easy - and who could possibly argue against?

Wrong. If remain was the winner and new 'will of the people' there's nothing more to debate. Farage would make an ugly reappearance though I doubt UKIP would get any support now they have been found out as racists. What I'd like to see is a split in both Tory and Labour resulting in a new Centre party - which would represent most people in this country (not many on this board however).

Lot's of coffin dodging Brextreemists getting uppity I can see.................

Take it out of the politicians hands now and declare a second referendum bound by law.
Ballot Paper Q1 Leave or Remain Q2 If UK Leaves, Mays Deal or No Deal.
No more debate needed, no extension to article 50. Could also allow 16 yrs plus to vote (their future).
Who could argue against this? (exclude coffin dodgers, rednecks, Brextreemists)

Flybe has accelerated its planned sale to a Virgin Atlantic-led consortium by finding a way to do the deal without the approval of shareholders.

The embattled regional airline will sell its two main operating subsidiaries – the airline and the engineering operations – to the Connect consortium before shareholders get the chance to vote on a formal takeover offer for the parent company.

Flybe, which is quoted on the London Stock Exchange, announced the takeover by Connect last week.

The consortium comprises Virgin Atlantic, the Stobart transport group, and a US hedge fund Cyrus Capital Partners. The consortium said it would pay £2.2m – 1p per share. It also said it would advance £20m to Flybe as a bridging loan to keep it flying – provided the airline could meet certain conditions, including the return of security deposits that had been demanded by credit card companies.

The airline admitted this morning it had not met all the conditions for the loan. Now Connect will advance £10m immediately in return for Flybe agreeing to sell the two subsidiaries – which contain nearly all the airline’s assets. The deal can take place in two days’ time when the terms of Flybe’s listing on the London Stock Exchange are changed. It will switch from a premium to a standard listing, meaning less shareholder approvals are required for a big transaction.

The speed of the move underlines the extreme pressure on the airline’s finances. The company said: “The board of Flybe believes that obtaining this … provides the security that the business needs to continue to trade successfully. This preserves the interests of its stakeholders, customers, employees, partners and pension members.”

You sound nervous.

are in a majority on this board. Will of the People # 2 is coming and you're all cra**** yourselves...................
