Interestingly, when I mentioned to out two university student visitors that Baghdadi had been killed, they said "who's he"? Even when I explained, it meant nothing.

And there are those half-wit LibLobs, Labour and SNP who want to lower the voting age even further!

ChrisSPosted October 27, 2019 at 8:38 am | PermalinkA perfect summary of the position we now find ourselves in.When the history books come to be written, this parliament will go down as the most reprehensible and undemocratic in modern times. I don't think the Remainer majority in Parliament realises just how close it has brought our democracy towards failure.Thanks to the actions of the Remainers and the fixed term parliament act, we are within a hair's breath of Parliament losing the consent of the public and they might yet manage to tip us over the edge.Ask yourself the question : Had Brexit been an issue supported predominantly by people of the left of society, rather than those on the right, would we not have seen an unprecedented level of civil unrest, riots even, long before now ?

BoptahPosted October 27, 2019 at 3:44 pm | PermalinkAs far as i am aware. We leave the EU on Oct 31st with no deal currently. There is no obligation for Boris to accept an extension because Parliament has consented to implement the WAB as per the Letwin amendment. and so this has neutralised the surrender Act.the 2018 Withdrawal agreement takes us out on Thursday. Unless there is a better offer of course.

Great news about Baghdadi, btw, and top marks to the US commandos.

bbalan - "National identity and its' relevance in the European Union is well understood by those of us who voted in 1975 to 'stay in' the then 'Common Market', of which we had been a Member for 3 years. Nationalism is a fickle concept oft used for nefarious deeds that so often lead to War. The idea of developing an encompassing identity to circumvent this was and is welcome. (Red ticks of course welcome)"

Think you're not quite getting it, bb: it was Maastricht, on which we didn't get a vote, that made the difference, not 1975.

Maastricht changed the EEC into the EC, ie., from being an economic structure to an all encompassing organisation. Lisbon just adds to that and will lead Europe into its logical (to some) conclusion - the USoE.

You may consider national identities immaterial, and maybe one day that might come to pass, but it's quite possible to keep those national traits and characteristics without it leading to war, as you suggest. This is 2019, not 1938, and communication and travel have got rid of the extreme versions of national ID - save for the most extreme one-party states, and even there folk outside of party HQs are accommodating to other nationalities.

I agree, elbee, about the effect of the, hopefully, one-off. Used to be that markets looked 2 years ahead, not behind them.

[mr.elbee] 27/10/2019 15:23

how can a one-off PPI bill ,which is now in the rear view mirror,be a cause for anything other than jubilation?.

It is priced in.

But of course the establishment dont like AHO, who has taken all the cushy jobs off their pals, and shown them up for what they are..and he doesnt believe in the revolving door.

So get the analysts to trash the company!

yeah!

Hi all, the sudden drop in share price in Ng. On friday Triggered my tracking stop loss. What is the understanding of the current 30 day b&b laws? The way I am reading it, is if the price drops and i buy them back within 30 days I am liable for cgt on the difference between my sell and new buy price. If i dont rebuy, the cgt will be based on my original buy price and the sell price.(i was in profit somewhat) is my understanding correct?

Fool article 'has legs'. See this drifting ever lower up 'til the 31st with the likely stalemate in Westminster. As to the trading update ....the key question is surely , ' Why should Lloyds be faring any better than BARC or RBS in the UK market place ?' If PPI is dire and profitability on the wane then expect to see 50p again is my take on it!

[mr.elbee] 27/10/2019 13:33

graham..the fraud was perpetuated by the claimants and claims companies who had no real way of checking whether claims were valid or not since pre 2000 paperwork doesnt exist any more.

Easier to pay up rather than challenge a fraudulent claim,which most of them, were.
The fraud is the biggest in banking history...but the other way round.

What the latest on Greta Thunberg.. she's very quiet for sometime now. Not on our screens screaming like a maniac she is.

[gotnorolex] 27/10/2019 12:49

I spoke to a young Londoner yesterday, he said "Are youuu talkin tooo meee"!? ;~)

"Spoke to a young Scandinavian today"! Greta Thunberg? lol!

Alps - "Poika - when you are in a hole stop digging. Next you will be trying to convince me that night is in fact day.
You are losing the plot."

Condemnation without facts is pretty poor, Alps; thought better of you, but live and learn.

Max #280786 "These job creation schemes and the billions put into consumers’ pockets may have supported the economy in rocky times." No kiddin'! But much of the rest of the article is just rubbish. PPI certainly is not "is the biggest rip-off in British banking history," or any sort of rip-off at all.

Essentially it was a disguised way of charging less creditworthy customers more for their loans. I feel certain a lot of those customers knew this perfectly well and were quite happy to go along with the little charade.

Lets hope it does not disappoint as likely support might be 55p approx

IMO the key to the upcoming Lloyds results will be any provisions coming from its loan book (either individual or corporate, or both). (Impairments in the article). The outlook will be uncertain as one would expect so will not surprise the market.
