ken, know he is a tax avoider who choses to move is profits out of the uk

in my view and in my world who loves is country I pay my taxes for the good of my country if ever one chose not to pay tax the uk would be a third rate country
and the poor would suffer .
if you do not pay your taxes in the uk you should keep out of uk elections and keep your views to your self .

branson is not a good person by far has no respect for the uk only to exploit it then leave to pay no taxes

all my views as a tax payer and happy to pay my tax

Portside - Why do you pay tax? I suggest it's probably because the law says you must. As a good citizen you comply with the law and that's what RB has to do.

Don't blame him. Think of the number of people he employs, who do pay tax.

And all the way back to 170 p today !!!

Sir Richard Branson makes great play of wrapping himself in patriotic trappings to promote his businesses, but Britain's best-known entrepreneur on Sunday revealed he had been living as a tax exile for the last seven years after moving his main residence to a private Caribbean island.

Branson has swapped the union flag for the ensign of the British Virgin Islands, where income is not taxed. Having nominated Necker, an island he bought in the 1970s, as his tax base, he can only spend a maximum of between 46 and 183 days a year in the UK.

and the scumbag has the cheek to tell tax payers how to vote the man is a low life scumbag

Any particular bubble in mind? Just the buy-to-let mob or more generally? I think there is plenty of steam in London and nationally to see prices rise yet further.

Thanks for the link, it would seem another solid move to appease/please regulators and also attract this type of business with Barclays prepared to consider wider income within their stress level conditions.

Another positive as Staley continues to turn the tanker onto a new course...

Before the bubble bursts Barclays is set to become the latest lender to increase its rental cover requirements.


From 26 May, the lender will increase its rental coverage ratio from 135 per cent to 145 per cent.

Good point mate. The reverse, of course, happened in April with Barclay's to an extent. Portside commented upon that and played it well.

He makes sense when off the sangria... ;)

Think part of HSBC divi money could be coming into Barc/Lloy today...

[topicel] 19/5/2016 09:03

A further indicator is the US financials, all of which were up between 2.5 and 5% last night, with BARC adr's checking in at the higher end.

That is one easy way to follow the money.

IT is a matter of when, not if IMHO Diku.

The range is still fixed as I've been saying between 160-180p and that is the key level. Still 4% away but after the correction downwards within the range following the quarterly results it might be about now that PIs start to bail.

With interest rates back front and centre in the US, even for June, and therefore dependant on this month's data, the next few days will be key to seeing if 180p can be broken. Either way, with Brexit jitters being soothed by common sense - for now - it looks like a breakout will follow during the summer that is sustainable.

Watch the large trades and follow the money if, as the header indicates, peeps are here to trade.

I'm holding beyond 180p as I did three weeks ago...
