Yes the PRA and FCA asks you, then there must be something wrong if they flout that.
Never bite the hand that feeds.
Significant condemnation if they don’t pull it, significant bloodbath if they do.

If the bank are making a cash tender offer for Senior notes, then why can't they issue a dividend. Surely if they are being asked to conserve cash the the senior notes should be the first thing stopped?The Government has put in about 200billion of QE into the system, to help get money to businesses, so I wouldn't think liquidity would be a problem for banks would it?

The Irish protocol and state aidsBy JOHNREDWOOD | Published: MARCH 31, 2020Two highly qualified and experienced lawyers told the Conference that the UK needs to get rid of the Irish protocol one way or another. The current protocol seeks to treat Northern Ireland differently from the rest of the UK, and in default of a comprehensive borders and trade agreement seeks to lock Northern Ireland into the rules and customs of the EU.The UK government is right to say it will not place a trade  border   between GB and Northern Ireland. This could be the result of the negotiations achieving a free trade and trade facilitation package that avoids any need for one. Alternatively if there is no trade deal, the UK government could simply refuse to impose one.Sammy Wilson for the DUP pointed out that  most trade flowing between NI and GB stays within the UK so there is absolutely no  need for checks and tariffs as it moves across the Irish Sea between the two parts of the UK. He also pointed out we have a complex Northern Ireland/ Republic of Ireland border today, with the need to calculate VAT and Excise payments. This is all done with an invisible border, with the tax calculations and payments being made by computer from the truck manifests. There is no need for a person at a border post with a calculating machine taking fivers. It should similarly be possible to handle international trade crossing the North Sea within the UK by electronic means and by payments at international borders.  The general mood of the conference was the government must keep its word of no new physical customs border between GB and NI, whether by agreement or not. It is difficult to see how the EU could enforce any interpretation they might place on the Withdrawal Agreement to require a GB/NI border in the event of no agreement. This would be an internal matter for a sovereign UK.

The role of Parliament in the crisisBy JOHNREDWOOD | Published: MARCH 31, 2020I am uneasy that I cannot go to Parliament and raise there the issues and problems that concern my constituents. I appreciate this is the normal time for an Easter recess, but these are not normal times. My case load, email box and website are even more active than usual. There is heightened awareness of government given the large increase in powers and the direct effects it is having on all our lives. I of course take things up by email, phone and letter, as Ministers are working.I am seeking  reassurances today that Parliament will b e allowed back after the recess as planned. I understand we will need to continue adapting the work pattern to offer more protection to those involved, assuming the social segregation measures are still in place. The Speaker set out some changes which helped before the recess and more might be possible, to limit the number in the chamber at any time, but to ensure that public questions and arguments can still be put. Maybe there can be a temporary use of remote technology, so Parliament can have its version of the daily Number 10 press conferences with MPs asking the questions and making the points to the Ministers on duty.This should be a time to demonstrate the importance of single member constituency representation at Westminster. Each of us receive many practical pieces of advice and difficult cases that reveal cracks or imperfections in  the rules and government programmes. These need to be put to government Ministers by MPs who are used to speaking truth to power and who know the Ministers well and how they might respond.I would like strengthened accountability during this recess. The Cabinet office does allow a daily call to put issues, but it would be good to have a recess written question facility to all departments and virtual Ministerial statements with questions from MPs when the government is making important announcements.I am raising these issues with the Speaker.

Satellite images show air pollution decrease (as expected) across Europe.Greta-virus will be very happy to hear that.

[gaffer73] 30/3/2020 23:32

Nobody's ordered anything, all the ECB have done is ask. That's all they can do unless they are government owned. These are private companies and the Law states they can distribute profits as dividends. The same goes for the UK.

Yes. You'll have to do some digging, but you will find them building large townships/mini cities just outside established cities (Lagos for one) The centers are not for the locals, just Chinese.

[k38] 30/3/2020 23:18

China is the N1 economic power of tomorrow. In Europe, ( nevermind the big investment) thanks to Brussels small European businessman go bankrupt and they are being replaced by Chinese 1 pound stile shops with a lot of support from their government. I don't blame them.. I blame Brussels!!
