Good to hear the Tories are getting behind a guaranteed interview scheme for ex servicemen & women in certain government departments. Meanwhile Keir Starmers focusing his attention on positive discrimination for immigrants whilst the SNP are concentrating on promoting non mathematicians with a liking for teenage Mediterranean boys into senior treasury positions. Bobster you could be in with a floppy fringe & some skinny jeans fella.

Richard Harris VS Kirk Douglas

The morning after that first encounter, as Douglas and Harris were being lined up for their first shot, the old HMS Ark Royal appeared on the horizon on its way to dock at Portsmouth.

Douglas, who had served for four years in the US Navy during the Second World War, gazed at it scornfully. ‘What kinda ship d’you call that?’

‘A f____ing aircraft carrier,’ Harris replied. ‘In America they’re twice that size.’ ‘They’re twice that size because they have to carry twice the amount of sh__te.’



Excellent!

And this is why China cant be trusted.

Party first, people second.
Always the same. Just as it was with Chernobyl in USSR.



As a reminder, Li Wenliang - who warned the public of a potential "SARS-like" disease in December 2019 - was questioned by local health authority, and warned:

"We solemnly warn you: If you keep being stubborn, with such impertinence, and continue this illegal activity, you will be brought to justice - is that understood?"

Q: Does wearing masks and gloves help prevent infections?

A: First of all, masks. There’s very limited evidence of benefit, if any, in a casual situation. Masks are useful for those who are unwell to protect other people from them. But wearing a mask all the time will be ineffective





Utter tripe that face masks are of limited benefit.

Surgical masks, sure, they're useless.
But only an idiot will be relying on those.

"share buybacks ultimately result in higher yields!"

Lololol !!!

Yes, of course, that's because the share price drops further than the BB price.

BB's favour management. That's why they love them. Goose the EPS - Bonuses all round.

But they're no good to s/hlders.

More than 1,400 EU-based firms have applied for permission to operate in the UK after Brexit, with over 1,000 of these planning to establish their first UK office.

The figures, revealed in a Freedom of Information request, are seen as evidence that the UK will continue to be a leading player on the global financial stage after Britain leaves the EU.

The FOI revealed that by October 2019, the Financial Conduct Authority had received a total of 1,441 applications from firms to use the Temporary Permission Regime (TPR).

When the current passporting system becomes defunct, the TPR will allow European Economic Area firms and funds to continue to operate in the UK, whilst they seek full authorisation from UK regulators.

The FOI also found that 83% of passporting firms that applied under the TPR currently operate under a ‘service’; passport, which means they do not currently have an office in the UK. This suggests that more than 1,000 firms intend to set up an office in the UK for the first time after Brexit.

The FOI also shared the breakdown of firm type for those that have applied for the TPR. This includes more than 100 banks, which will either be setting up offices in London for the first time or boosting their current UK presence. Firms planning to move to the UK span all sectors in financial services including asset managers, insurers, exchanges and fintech firms.

Michael Johnson, a consultant at financial regulatory consultancy Bovill which requested the FOI, said: “These figures clearly show that many firms see the UK as Europe’s premier financial services hub.

“This is a clear vote of confidence in the UK financial services sector and good news for the UK’s service economy overall. The high proportion of firms without an existing UK branch that have applied for the TPR suggests there will be some movement of staff from these EU27 firms into the UK.

“Although much attention has been given to the number of UK firms moving staff and operations into Europe, there is also likely to be movement in the opposite direction.

Good to hear you only lost a few hundred.

[mitchy] 06/2/2020 16:46

You may well be right. But with lloy you just never know. When all said and done it makes a nice profit whatever the world throws at it.

ShirleyPosted February 6, 2020 at 6:13 am | PermalinkFor some reason the EU is rarely criticised, while Trump and the USA are subjected to lots of vitriol.Maybe it's something to do with the bribes, grants and funding dished out by the EU and the conditions placed upon those bribes, grands and cheap 'loans' that they must support the EU at all times. Our money is being used to buy loyalty for the EU and steal loyalty from those who actually fund the EU.Reply?AnonymousPosted February 6, 2020 at 9:06 am | PermalinkIt's just an innate hatred of Anglophone capitalism. On one arm, Climate Change is the perfect stick to beat it with, on the other a child makes the perfect shield.The BBC is run by radicals. I expect freedom of speech allowed among its staff would not extend to even the limits allowed in the Commons.I expect that if you were working at the BBC and expressed Tory back bench or Brexit views you would find your career to be curtailed sharply.

OOOOOH Dear.

mitchy, NO I sold 20,000, lost a few hundred quid, half of which I'll get back by way of a dividend in the new company, imo it was better than doing nothing.

I think Lloyds as an investment will go that way if nothing changes come march 2020.

Just the start,the whole thing may well implode a lot sooner than I thought.

Bots chasing down the stops trying to hide under 57!

[bookbroker] 06/2/2020 14:48

Does seem to act counter to other banks, the results will enlighten us further, should be doing better even with rates where they are, being realistic they are still making a lot of profit, buybacks should be kickstarted again, not a big fan of special dividends, share buybacks ultimately result in higher yields!

Down again after the morning 'rise'! if we ever climb after lunch maybe this will mean a change of direction?

What is settled status?

EU, EEA or Swiss citizens and their families can apply to the EU Settlement Scheme to continue living in the UK after June 30, 2021.

This “settled status” grants those who have spent five years in the UK the same rights as British citizens.

This includes healthcare, education, benefits and pensions.

You do not need to apply if you have:

indefinite leave to enter the UK

indefinite leave to remain in the UK

British or Irish citizenship (including ‘dual citizenship’)
