Lloyds Banking Share Discussion Threads

Post 15342...why does it always have to be the next incoming one will grow the share price until the next one..then the next one...then the next one...you get my drift... ...what did the current ones do?...they got paid super remuneration packages...it has become a self full filling label procedure in the casino markets...






Possibly also the changes to the management team may also be a factor. Lloyds already has a new chairman and has appointed a new CEO, Charlie Nunn from HSBC, to take over later this year. This new team could look to accelerate growth or change the strategy of the bank. This could help excite investors and grow the Lloyds share price.

'I think I’d personally add ASOS over Lloyds to my portfolio'

Maybe if you are adding to your portfolio, I'm not.

If Natwest did well enough to be forking out £200M in bonuses then I reckon mortgage lending must have been a good business end of 2020... Lloyds should be good news (in context of corona) and they aren't paying bonuses (even better) saying they would keep the cash to boost the bottom line during the pandemic




The taxpayer-backed NatWest Group is preparing to pay bonuses of roughly £200m for last year, Sky News understands.

"whilst it's part of the UK it should be binned and replaced with a Proclaimers song."

You are joking, right?

I would suggest "Giddy up a ding dong" by the Sensational Alex Harvey Band.

Saw the best film for quite a while last night - Parasite, a Korean dark comedy. Spoilt a bit by a character in the first half hour being called Min, but he soon leaves he plot.

And despite EU having economically rich countries like Germany, France, Italy, Holland and Belgium and the fact NATO was created to defend mainly EU countries. After brexit 80 percent of NATO budget is contributed by non EU countries in fact Britain was for most of NATO existence the second largest contributer to its budget. The freeloaders of EU enjoyed all of NATOs benefits and like most benefit cheats contributed nothing.

Another tick down, who could that be,
Perhaps the Yorkshire chump,
How so funny it would be,
To watch his Ecky Thump.

Long we've tossed on the rolling main
Now we're safe ashore, Jack
Don't forget your old shipmate
Fal dee ral dee ral dee rye eye doe!

Safe and sound at home again
Let the waters roar, Jack
Safe and sound at home again
Let the waters roar, Jack

Long we've tossed on the rolling main
Now we're safe ashore, Jack
Don't forget your old shipmate
Fal dee ral dee ral dee rye eye doe!

Since we sailed from Plymouth Sound
Four years gone, or nigh, Jack
Was there ever chummies, now
Such as you and I, Jack?

We have worked the self-same gun:
Quarterdeck division
Sponger I and loader you
Through the whole commission

Oftentimes have we laid out
toil nor danger fearing,
Tugging out the flapping sail
to the weather bearing

When the middle watch was on
And the time went slow, boy
Who could choose a rousing stave
Who like Jack or Joe, boy?

There she swings, an empty hulk
Not a soul below now
Number seven starboard mess
Misses Jack and Joe now

But the best of friends must part
Fair or foul the weather
Hand yer flipper for a shake
Now a drink together

I wonder if they have ships that work in warm water or aircraft carriers that have support ships and planes?

"The NATO Response Force (NRF) is a highly ready and technologically advanced, multinational force made up of land, air, maritime and Special Operations Forces (SOF) components that the Alliance can deploy quickly, wherever needed"

A brief knowledge of European history would quickly quash this idea.

"...The Times reported, claiming Paris sent an unofficial delegation to Washington to convince US officials that French armed forces were better placed than their British counterparts to be America's special ally in Europe after Brexit.

A source told the publication: "The French team were at pains to point out how useful the French military could be as an ally and their track record in getting things done in troublespots where the US was not as strong as it wished to be.

"They also pointed out that, after Brexit, they would be the only EU country with this capability.""

Hohoho, their sense of humour only matched by the Scots.

How do we now replace EU law and restore UK law to its rightful place?Tomorrow: Politeia Webinar with the Attorney General on the opportunity to reset the UK's legal framework?© Politeia 2021 - click to enlargeWhich principles should guide UK policy as the country seeks to restore UK law?Event: "Good for Financial Services, Good for the UK Economy – Restoring UK Law"Organised by PoliteiaMonday 8th February, 1.00pm - 2.15pmTomorrow lunchtime an online event is being held, organised by Politeia, to discuss the future for UK law in the post-Brexit era. As a public service announcement Facts4EU.Org is pleased to bring you the details for those able to attend via Zoom at that time.Our laws and regulations underpin our society and our economy. They are fundamental to the way we live, work, and trade. For almost five decades the United Kingdom has become increasingly subject to a legal tradition which differs markedly from that which had been built up in our country over centuries.Tomorrow's event looks at the opportunities for Brexit Britain outside of the European Union and asks important questions for our future as an independent country. Amongst the distinguished panel will be the Attorney General, the Rt Hon Suella Braverman QC MP, the Rt Hon Sir Iain Duncan Smith MP, and Barnabas Reynolds, Partner at Shearman & Sterling LLP. Mr Reynolds has previously assisted Facts4EU.Org in our summaries of legal papers published by the CBP and has been very effective in the fight for Brexit.POLITEIA'S SUMMARYInformation about the eventThis year, the UK's financial services firms have begun to trade under UK law and regulation. Although the corpus of inherited legislation is significant, certain things are clear. EU law differs from the common law (and Scots law) tradition of the UK in a number of ways. Each has its own tradition, and each has evolved over time from a different conceptual basis.Ministers now face the challenge of deciding on the future legal framework for the sector, and the status that EU-inherited law and regulation should have. They will be faced with questions such as:What principles should guide UK policy as the country seeks to restore UK law?What is the status of inherited EU law? What should that status be?How should inherited EU law for financial services be approached? Which laws, if any, should go?What should be the basis for the UK's future legal and regulatory framework for the sector?What reforms are needed for the UK's new regulatory regime?At Politeia's zoom event on Monday 8th February (1.00pm - 2.15pm) guest speakers will consider these and other matters and the broader implications for the future UK law. The event will mark the publication of Politeia's new analysis by Barnabas Reynolds: 'Restoring the UK's Legal Framework: Freeing the UK's Global Financial Markets'.The Rt Hon Suella Braverman QC MP, Attorney General for England and Wales, Advocate General for Northern Ireland.Baroness Deech DBE, Law Commission, non-executive Board Member; Former Chairman, Bar Standards Board (2009–2014)Lord Thomas of Cwmgiedd PC, Chairman, Financial Markets Law Committee; former Lord Chief Justice of England and WalesThe Rt Hon Sir Iain Duncan Smith MP, Chairman, Taskforce for Innovation, Growth and Regulatory Reform (TIGRR); former Secretary of State for Work and Pensions (2010-16)Barnabas Reynolds, Partner and Head of Financial Institutions at Shearman & Sterling LLPThe event will be chaired by Dr Sheila Lawlor, Politeia's Founder and Research DirectorThe above information is © Politeia 2021Click here to register to attendPlease note that you will have to have Zoom installed on the device you are using.There are links to do this at the bottom of that page.OBSERVATIONSPoliteia has assembled an impressive line-up for its event tomorrow, including two of the leading pro-Brexit politicians in the UK in Sue Braverman and Sir Iain Duncan Smith.This event coincides with the launch of the Politeia paper authored by Barnabas Reynolds and entitled 'Restoring the UK's Legal Framework: Freeing the UK's Global Financial Markets'. We are grateful to Mr Reynolds for an advance copy and hope to summarise some of his thoughts and proposals in the near future. (At 172 pages it is quite a tome.) After tomorrow it will be available from Politeia, subject to their usual terms.The whole question of the restoration of the great tradition of English and Scottish common law is not one which has received much coverage - perhaps because it is something of a technical subject. Dry it may be, but it is also important. As Mr Reynolds says: "These are not matters purely for lawyers. Such reasoning can often permeate the entire discourse of the state, and legal reasoning permeates the societies in which it operates."We would love to keep the team together, working for youUnfortunately some people now think Brexit is "done" and not surprisingly the whole Covid thing has hit the level of donations we receive, which were already less than we needed to survive. We are most grateful to readers who have donated this year, but we badly need more readers to do the same. 10 readers donating £500 per month, or 50 readers donating £100 per month, or 1000 readers donating £5 per month - on top of the one-off donations and monthly donations we currently receive, this would just about keep us going
