Cheshire Pete, agreed, maybe these MPs should give up their seats and put themselves up for reelection in-line with their calls for a second referendum, I'm betting they won't.

"Sadly this view seems to be the mirror-image of the reciprocal view".

Yes fatnacker and I know it's stating the obvious but if we get Brexit, and no deal is now the real Brexit, we won't need Farage to fire up his Brexit party and he can go and enjoy the rest of his life. Will always be grateful for what he has achieved in getting us to this point, compared to the loathsome MPs who have and are continuing to try and thwart Brexit. They must not succeed.

"Pawsche - it's of a piece with the nonsense about evacuating the Royal Family. The remoaners are demented with desperation and will say absolutely anything.

What they don't seem to understand is that claims that are plainly and obviously ridiculous do nothing but harm their case."

Sadly this view seems to be the mirror-image of the reciprocal view. There seems to be no centre ground in this shambles.

People have every right to filter who they want. When they start requesting others do the same is it showing a belief that others haven't got independence of thought? That perhaps agrees with what I believe is happening here: herd mentality and all that.

Lloyds in rude health, says Interactive Investor

Lloyds (LLOY) profits may have marginally fallen short of expectations but 2018 results show a bank in ‘rude health’ with a ‘clear vision’, according to Interactive Investor.

Analyst Richard Hunter hailed the bank’s streamlined business model and market-leading digital presence, and analyst Richard Hunter said a £3 billion investment into the business should reap benefits as it moves into financial planning via a tie-up with fund group Schroders.

He noted post-tax profit was up 24% and net interest margin had improved. ‘Negatives within the results are few and far between,’ he said.

‘The share price has suffered in a way the company has clearly not. This therefore leads to the dilemma of whether investors should take the plunge, since in the event of a positive Brexit result, the stock would surely be subject to a significant reappraisal.

‘The market certainly seems to think so – the current consensus of the shares comes in at a strong “buy”.’ The shares jumped 4.7% to 61.1

These labour/tory MPs having a get together is a most obvious and predictable reaction to farages brexit party aspirations.

[alphorn] 21/2/2019 10:11

grahamite - don't you think that there are some serious 'ills' in the current parties? Whether this will be a catalyst or not to do something about it - IMO it needs sorting. A dreadful situation that could cost dearly.

M - I meant the rest! ;))

Leaving the Party you have loved and served should normally be a solemn affair, even tragic, something to be done only in extremis when there is no other choice. This is the way it looked with the Labour defectors - a decision absolutely forced on them and taken with a heavy heart.

In stark contrast the three former Conservative ladies were seen grinning like schoolgirls out on some jolly beano. Clearly leaving the Party comes for them as nothing but a relief and a joy. It follows they never were Conservatives in any way.

"m4 - an excellent post that really covered the waterfront."

Well, could have been.

"And anyone who doesn't filter 'M' needs their ...."

I question his beliefs on freedom of speech. He is certainly a pseudo-communist because comments like that come straight out of China.

diku (think you) Yesterday you asked about bull/bear at the same time. Well, premiums are still settling post results but writing a straddle today would give north of 15% pa yield. I have the bull positions in place but will wait a while for the bearish side.
