Lloyds Banking Share Discussion Threads

Mr. Elbee writes that GS are behind the global pandemic. He has been watching too many James Bond movies. Xmas is over, so I suggest moving his mind back into the real world. It also puts into perspective many of the other things he has written on this board.

Too many crazies here.

In today's brief: First post-Brexit fisheries clash as Irish trawler is blocked from UK waters. Meanwhile, Boris regrets having to cancel trip to India to discuss trade and WHO team are denied entry into China.Clashes off the coast: An Irish fishing boat has been blocked from entering the 12-mile zone around Rockall by a Scottish patrol vessel, as post-Brexit restrictions on European fishermen's access to UK waters have been enforced for the first time. "It's ironic that the Scottish government is the first to expel an EU vessel from British waters," David Davis, former Brexit Secretary told the Telegraph. "Of course, if that same government had had its way, we would still have been under the Common Fisheries Policy, and it would have been Scottish fishermen being bossed around by the Europeans." The Scottish government has been publicly opposed to Boris Johnson's Brexit deal but has been the first to make swift use of its newly won rights over fisheries. Adrian McClenaghan the Irish boat's skipper said "We were fishing in Rockall and members of the crew from the Jura boarded us. They informed us that we could no longer fish inside the 12-mile limit of Rockall." He added that fish netted in the waters off Rockall accounted for 30 percent of his annual catch, a proportion that he could not afford to give up. However, the Scottish fishing industry welcomed the actions of Marine Scotland, who blocked the boat from fishing in their waters.Beef up post-Brexit seabed protection, say campaigners: Conservation campaigners have urged the government to beef up protection for marine conservation areas as ineffectual EU protection was not stopping the areas being targeted by trawlers. Figures compiled by the Marine Conservation Society show that bottom trawling took place in 98 per cent of offshore Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in UK waters between 2015 and 2018. The UK has previously attempted to implement management measures that were either rejected or diminished by other member states, who had an interest in fishing these areas under the Common Fisheries Policy.Distant Fisheries Scorecard: UK Fisheries have continued to highlight the unsolved problem of distant-waters fishing, uploading a scorecard to their website on the current status of distant-waters negotiations for 2021. Needless to say, they are not very happy about being left in the dark over the future of their industry.Boris regrets having to cancel India visit: Boris Johnson has spoken to Indian Prime Minister Modi and expressed regret for calling off his visit to the country that was scheduled for Republic Day at the end of January. Boris cited the need to stay in London and help get the UK's coronavirus situation under control. He hopes that he will be able to visit India in the first half of 2021, and ahead of the UK's G7 Summit that Modi is due to attend. The PM was due to discuss trade and relations between the nations, with the rescheduling delaying a potential trade deal.UK will still be attractive for car giants post-Brexit: The UK can still be the gateway to Europe for foreign carmakers despite the challenges of leaving the EU, the head of the country's biggest auto trade body has said. Mike Hawes, the chief executive of the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) said that the UK would still be able to compete with rivals in the trading bloc after Brexit. "The fundamentals of the industry are still strong. We still have a highly flexible, highly skilled workforce. We still have access to that massive European market tariff-free. We need to sweat our assets as best we can and make sure that we've got ourselves in the best position to reassert and reaffirm what we have to offer," he said.WHO team investigating virus origins denied entry to China: The World Health Organisation, which has praised China's 'cooperation' throughout the pandemic, has once again seen its team denied entry into China. The team was due to investigate the origins of the coronavirus, with two members already en route when issues arose. The WHO say the problem was a lack of visa clearances, but China have challenged this and said that the details of the visit were still being arranged. The long-awaited probe was agreed upon by Beijing after many months of negotiations with the WHO, but with the investigative team now shut out of China it is unclear when they will get access. Some UK-run domains are suspended: Over 80,000 UK-run websites have been suspended after new rules meant that some '.eu' domains will no longer function for services such as websites and emails. Under initial plans drawn up in 2018, the EU said it would cancel all websites registered to British individuals and companies. But following a backlash from Brits and EU citizens, the bloc revised the rules to allow for some exceptions. Suspended domains can be reinstated before April if they are updated to meet the eligibility criteria, which requires showing evidence that a business or individual is registered, resides, or has citizenship in an EU member state.For the latest news and developments throughout the day, please do follow @GlobalVision_UK on Twitter.Thanks for reading, and enjoy the rest of your day.

Good article mr.e!

Do you have a link? I'd like to pass it on.

[poikka] 06/1/2021 11:24

Did anyone expect anything different? The WHO trip is a complete waste of time and public money. They've tried, now call it a day.

"An expert mission to China to probe the origins of the Covid-19 pandemic was in disarray Wednesday after Beijing denied entry to the World Health Organization team at the last minute despite months of painstaking negotiations. Ten experts were due to arrive in China this week for the delicate, highly politicised task of establishing how and where the virus jumped from animals to humans. But with a number of the team already in transit, China denied them entry visas, prodding WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, to say he was "very disappointed". China is determined to control the origin story of the virus, which has killed more than 1.8 million people around the world and laid waste to global economies."

GS is behind the entire global covid scam WAKE UP!

More chance to bump into Utricky Trees though, if it’s not Boots lol

“ Don't see any problem with Boots & Co being paid to deliver the vaccine. Worthwhile members of the high street rather than the smorgasboard of useless gyms, betting shops, nail bars and tattoo parlours that make our high streets look like the downtrodden areas we see in the US.”

Just to note:

I've made good money out of AZN over the last 5/6 years. No longer hold. The share price has performed well. A Woodford holding that was once his largest in the earlier days of his fund - 2014 onwards.

[portside1] 06/1/2021 10:36

Eu starting to break up .There is going to be a war between the countries who have said they can not pay any more money to Brussels Let them sink

[minerve 2] 06/1/2021 10:27

What should be being discussed here is not whether AZN makes a profit it should be the cronyism at No 10 and paying their mates with dodgy contracts, the wasted billions by Rishi Numpty, and the costs in billions that Brexit hits us with.

[minerve 2] 06/1/2021 10:24

There is no big deal if they make a profit. They are not a charity. Truth is they probably benefit from the increases in economies of scale which improves their margins across the board and they could attribute costs in grey areas (that cross multiple drug development) for R&D to this vaccine. Nothing wrong with either of these.

[portside1] 06/1/2021 10:05

Lloys needs to double from here just to get back to where it was 5 years ago that's how bad this bank as been managed

[diku] 06/1/2021 09:58

Saying they are not going to profit is one thing...but if the research and delivery costs are bumped up that is another...



Ah yes Tygarreg.....but Astra Zeneca has said that they're not going to profit out of their COVID vaccine.....so that makes it 'OK' to use theirs.

[minerve 2] 06/1/2021 09:47

Don't see any problem with Boots & Co being paid to deliver the vaccine. Worthwhile members of the high street rather than the smorgasboard of useless gyms, betting shops, nail bars and tattoo parlours that make our high streets look like the downtrodden areas we see in the US.

When lloys was 74p m/v 52b barcs at 168 around 28b

[portside1] 06/1/2021 09:45

Look again diku it was almost double

[diku] 06/1/2021 09:42

porty...not quite right...Lloy used to be at least around £10bln more in market cap than Barc...today Barc market cap is higher than lloy...Barc has out performed Lloy by a mile...probably because they have the Investment banking side of business that is out performing...and Lloy has the domestic brexit and Covid fallout to deal with...






A few years ago lloys market value was nearly twice that of barcs it’s now level .
