Considering the Billions the Banks continued to throw at High St Retailers when we could all see the future was "online"...

What were they thinking... or not thinking.
Guess they continued to throw money at it to keep the High Street alive and avoid Bankruptcies right, left and centre.
That went well..

You can bet your life they are going up then, lol....

Remember years ago being told an old adage...
Always do the opposite to the Banks and you will make money..

Thinking was that the Banks are such Dinosaurs that it takes months for them to get their plans and systems in place that by the time they have done it, things have moved on and they are too late.
Something like that..

The mad shutdown measures are visibly not working, because you might as well seek to control the wind by law as try to control a virus by shutting pubs or wearing a damp nappy on your face.

?John Redwood@johnredwood17hLet us assume there is no early solve all vaccine. We need to allow people to carry on working as safely as possible. We cannot go back in to national lock down without grave economic damage.

Sunday mail reports that Lloyds (and others) are spending Millions on computer modifications to cope with negative interest.

Paul Lockwood11 Oct 2020 6:31AMLockdowns don't work and never will.Look at Spain, strictest lockdown and masked wearing loons everywhere. They can't keep the virus 'under control'.You can not justify locking down a healthy population for a virus where the average person who dies 'with' it is OLDER than the average life expectancy. It's madness.Time to get on with our lives and tell Boris and co where to stick their stupid rules.I'm ashamed that I voted for this shambles.

A Conservative green policyBy JOHNREDWOOD | Published: OCTOBER 11, 2020As a particular view of what is a green policy rests at the core of the globalists position, let us begin our exploration of the policy agenda with green matters.I am a green enthusiast. I wish to live in a country with plenty of beautiful countryside, with clean water and air, where we fish and farm in a sustainable manner and pass on our soils and seas in good order to our children. As a Conservative I take the longer view, see our individual lives as leases , and our own presence here as part of a continuum from ancestors to successors. Families and nations act to sustain memories of what has happened and to support the hopes of the young for the future. We all have a stake in a common past and plans for a better general future.The immediate task of alleviating undue human pressures on the natural world must rest with less population growth. I have no wish for government to try to limit family size. Rising prosperity and improving chances of survival are the main ways families and nations come to adopt self limitation on the numbers of children voluntarily. Here in the UK the birth rate is below the level of 2 children per woman to keep the population constant, which is a good outcome. Where in the world the birth rate is higher it usually accompanies poverty, disease and shorter life expectancy. We need to help low income nations rise from these tribulations , which we can do by promoting free trade, offering them help with fresh water supplies, medicines and emergency assistance, and ensuring the great technologies of the west are available for them to conquer the problems which hold them back.Our UK green policy must start with proper control of net migration. We should aim for far fewer economic migrants than have come since Labour first changed our policies following their 1997 election win. The UK needs to train and retain our own skilled personnel, and to mechanise or pay more for the unskilled jobs where governments and business have too readily reached for cheap labour from abroad.Once we have control of numbers, we can protect more of our countryside from development, and abate our growing appetite for various finite natural resources. Many of the troublesome issues which have arisen, from where to build thousands of extra homes to how to deal with overcrowding on our public transport systems fall away completely or are eased.

C7 lol on first impressions I'd have to agree with u but let's give him a chance. My gut says hes legit unlike Bob the sycophant who's quite obviously Mins bit of rough.

[jl5006] 10/10/2020 19:16

Ca se peut.
Lagarde was ic IMF - now ic ECB.
??s about her french roles.
There were 3 wise men - are none available now ?
IMHO there cannot be collusion on this scale involving UK Gov - since that would say that the BOE noes.
I can accept that the IMF and the World bank is a can of worms that may/can destroy the finance structure of the world.
Phps it should so that those who admire ER etc should see they have no future - they so insisted the past be destroyed

[lefrene] 10/10/2020 18:54

jl5006, given the obvious disconnects in the so called pandemic response, I can only conclude that the economy is being very deliberately wrecked for reasons being withheld from the public. The economic wreckage will require massive bailouts using created money, and thus imv distract the general population from realising that most of the money will be going to banks, as indeed is already happening on a huge scale in the USA. There are 160 countries over which the IMF holds sway, so I guess if they know what's good for them they will all sing off the same hymn sheet. In the meantime I guess some persons within government machinery, are conducting an experiment to see just how far the sheeple can be pushed. A disappointingly long way by the look of it.

I dont think this BB has not been about LLOY investors - but comments about the political chaos which has ensued as a result of science / medics spouting results of modules - the result of which is the devastation of my holding.
IMO any comment about politics and HMG decisions is relevant - there are few privy to inner workings of LLOY and they are barred from disclosing that and posting here.
So what do u expect!

[maxidi] 10/10/2020 17:59

This thread really has gone bad. I think I'll call it a day so goodbye and good luck to the genuine LLOY investors here.

[jl5006] 10/10/2020 17:45

Yes
We know that the mask is no impediment.
Yet - whatever did Liberty do that was useful at GSK ? And i guess witless never got his cpe - certified -
