Newbank, it's not offensive, just silly. We kneel in church in contrition for our sins and in veneration of the almighty.

US markets extended gains after the close here and so unless something happens overnight in Asia I would expect a stronger opening tomorrow. Every time Lloyd’s fell below 37p today it bounced strongly and so momentum is definitely here and with financials in general. We have some catching up to do as the sector had missed out on a lot of the bounce back.

Bowl formed?

Hell of a lot more sell than buy today. I think it will open down in the morning looking at that. But who knows.

Given how much Barclays has risen we should be nearer 48p My concern is by Mid June the R number for Corona will increase given the reduction in social distancing If this does not happen we are more likely to reach 40 p plus

Nigel Farage


There is palpable public anger at the symbols of our nationhood being desecrated. Political leadership is in short supply. Say no to anarchy on our streets.

The protesters are young ignorant & preaching to the converted. Their efforts might be better placed elsewhere.

All things considered, slavery was merely the pe-cursor for capitalism wasnt it? Compare indigenous British at the bottom of the pile in the slums of the UK and their living standards wernt that much worse than the slaves in the plantations, yet we dont bleat on about retrospective injustice, we just crack on and get on with it. The UK was the first country to abolish slavery & weve been at the forefront of equality ever since.The virtuous who want to dwell on Britain's past and draw parallels in history to modern times have a choice if they dont like it....they can chance their arm somewhere else.

Slavery has and continues to be important as a means of survival for the very poorest in Africa. Move on thicko militants Britain has paid her debt many times over to those cultures wronged under the empire & were now at the point where many feel the fabric of the UK shouldnt yield further to the protestations of the minorities.

The man the toppled statue actually was . . . Mr Colston of Bristol.

"Later in 2018, Bristol Council unveiled the wording for the second plaque, “As a high official of the Royal African Company from 1680 to 1692, Edward Colston played an active role in the enslavement of over 84,000 Africans (including 12,000 children) of whom over 19,000 died en route to the Caribbean and America.
Colston also invested in the Spanish slave trade and in slave-produced sugar. As Tory MP for Bristol (1710-1713), he defended the city’s ‘right’ to trade in enslaved Africans. Bristolians who did not subscribe to his religious and political beliefs were not allowed to benefit from his charities'."

Among the strangest aspects of Britain’s pandemic response has been constant parroting of claims by stumbling politicians and their scientific advisers that this country reacted in “world-beating” style.
They have boasted of global leadership from initial planning through to the track-and-trace system, oblivious to how the rest of the world views us with pity since only our hideous death rate is deserving of international attention.
Once again, we see a nation that is still infected – certainly among our leaders – by a strain of hollow exceptionalism.

john sinclair8 Jun 2020 8:55AMWhat we must never do in the UK is value money above anything else, whatever the cost. Winston Churchill knew it, though there were many in power who wanted to collude with evil in order to now "unsettle anything".Now is the time to take a long hard look at China for so many reasons, and maybe a few middles east countries as well
