Personally I was persuaded as much by the "No more European Wars" debate than any other argument. Still holds true for me currently.

I reckon that NATO has done far more to ensure peace in Europe. The EU's track record isn't exactly brilliant... It's interference in Ukraine was largely responsible for the ensuimg Russian invasion, plus other assorted, more minor incursions.

Only trouble is investors take note. Most often when one of the Brokers downgrades the TP it goes down on the day

Freddie,

17 Dec is old news.

Let's put all the propaganda behind us. Those affected have had an offer of compensation (more than what they would have got in any other Country). People like Edmunds is trying to make a meal out of it and though I don't like to see businesses go bust I dislike those that want to allocate all the blame to the Banks. Banks are not here to act as a Charity, they are there to make a profit. Over inflating his media business is egoistical and what he is asking for is ridiculous.

Hopefully, as mentioned by others, This year might be the year where Lloyds starts to deliver for its shareholders, PPI and other bad news leaving us. :)

I hope to see a Divi of 6p next year and a share price of 80p.

I think most of the annalists predictions are!

Diku,

re QT,

Heavyweights?

They did have Emily Thornberry, she has been on the programme almost as many times as the host. I sometimes see the programme as a Political Broadcast by the Labour Party :)

The Deutsche Bank forecasts are meaningless

Don’t be fooled: this Brexit deal creates a triple lock to shackle the UK to Brussels forever

Just as we thought the orchestrated fog of confusion around the Withdrawal Agreement was about to lift, there were reports that Theresa May might even postpone the meaningful vote again while she seeks “reassurance” from the EU about the Northern Ireland backstop.
Whatever fudge is cooked up in Brussels to try to bolster support for her “deal”, it is very unlikely that the EU will delete the backstop. Why? Because it is a crucial element of the Withdrawal Agreement’s “triple lock” structure designed to stop Brexit. “Withdrawal Agreement” is an Orwellian misnomer, of course. This agreement keeps Britain in chains.

…

The third lock: the “future partnership”
Anyone expecting the EU27 to give up the immense advantages they gain under the backstop is delusional. Retaining tariff-free access to the UK market and effective control of UK trade and competition policy must be nirvana for them. To ensure they reap the full benefit, there is the third and final lock in the Withdrawal Agreement. Unless we agree to a “future partnership” as set out in the political declaration, the backstop will endure in perpetuity.
The Political Declaration replicates all the onerous “non-regression” clauses of the backstop and requires even more surrender of sovereignty via participation in and funding of the EU’s aerospace and defence programmes, free access to UK waters for EU fishermen, a full customs union and common trade policy, free movement by the backdoor under “mobility” clauses, EU control of UK agriculture via the state aid rules and in general full adherence to the acquis communautaire in all policy areas.
Thank you for your triple lock guarantee, M. Barnier. The Withdrawal Agreement cage conforms to the highest EU safety standards.

The London centric Labour Party.

Murder rate up in London.

LEAVE and WTO

[gotnorolex] 11/1/2019 10:45

You simply cannot get a heavier weight than our Fiona, Empires child born east of Suez like Joanna Lumley just oozes class!

[keyno] 11/1/2019 10:33

Diane Abbott's pretty "heavyweight" and good for a laugh to boot.

Who would you suggest Udik, a man maybe?

[wilmo] 11/1/2019 10:26

excell1 - Doh..... No, one doesn’t have to explain the difference between a one off referendum and a general election. Perhaps what needs explaining is that one is legally binding whilst the other is not!!!
Don’t presume I’m a remainer - you might be wrong about that too LOL

[diku] 11/1/2019 10:24

I think BBC couldn't find a credible candidate...she is probably there temporary as a gap filler until such time...notice lately the panel coming on the programme is also light weight...could do with some heavy weight Politicians like the good old days

Agreed re Internet, but intense debate elsewhere. Personally I was persuaded as much by the "No more European Wars" debate than any other argument. Still holds true for me currently.

11th jan Deutsche buy tp 68p cut from 77p

missed this yesterday . . . :-

Lloyds Banking Group – Buy, price target 80p

"We expect another set of uneventful numbers with the bank under good control, managing volumes against price in lending, tough conditions in Other Operating Income and solid credit quality," reckons Napier.

The full-year dividend is seen at 3.3p, up 7% year-on-year, plus a £1.5 billion share buyback, which gives a total capital return of 9% of market cap.

"LBG is, in our view, an undervalued, strongly capital generative bank, operating with a cost advantage in a competitive market and with decent medium-term growth opportunities in lending, savings, investments and general insurance," writes UBS.

The broker forecasts fourth-quarter adjusted pre-tax profit of £1.8 billion, including above-the-line remediation costs of £141 million and UK bank levy of £200 million.

Cameroon went to great lengths to make it clear that it was a one off, and that they would implement the electorates will.
