Extract

In the conversation, the executives discuss the risk of their bonuses being disclosed, together with those of Barclays' group chief executive, John Varley, and Barclays Capital chief executive, Bob Diamond.

The court heard the men's pay:
◾Roger Jenkins was paid £39m in 2007, and was recommended a payment of £25m for his role in these capital raisings alone
◾Richard Boath was paid £2.87m in 2007, and £1.87m in 2008
◾John Varley was paid £4.23m in 2007 and £1.1m in 2008
◾Wealth chief Tom Kalaris was paid £13m in 2007 and £7.7m for 2008
◾Finance Director Chris Lucas was paid £2m for 2007 and £1.45m for 2008

"You may think that some of these men were highly motivated to keep their jobs," Mr Brown QC said.

Greenpeace - is that the organisation for unemployed, bobble-hatted wasters who turn up at anything that is left-wing but choose to ignore the devastating impact on our countryside of hideous wind turbines and massive solar panels covering hundreds of hectares of once green fields.


Barclays Bank Surrenders to anti-capitalism Greenpeace

The recent decision by another major bank to all but close the door on future financing for oil drilling in the Arctic won’t stop the industry. But Barclays’ announcement that it will avoid investing in controversial energy projects, including Arctic oil, points to the newest phase in a battle for winning hearts and minds.

Its not just the backstop for heavens sake, there are so many underhand shackles hidden in the small print, like the fact that we will be tied to EU law for 8 years and have no say in any new laws. I wonder if all the remainer politicians have read all this document. I doubt it. All the small print needs to be removed or rewritten. Otherwise I suspect the EU will just make new laws which will screw us further. I do hope this backstop is not blind-siding people from all the other problems with it. WTO Deal, not EU Deal, Leave completely in March!

Barclays is due to record a rise in EPS of around 12% this year. Even though the world economy faces an uncertain future, it is still due to post GDP growth of 3.5% in 2019.

This suggests to me that trading conditions for the banking sector could more positive than investors are expecting.

Since the Barclays share price has a single-digit P/E ratio, I think it could offer a margin of safety at the moment. A forward dividend yield of over 5% suggests to me that it may also offer improving income prospects.
