Lloyds Banking Share Discussion Threads

Uh, oh, you never know what's around the corner. Signature forging by banks, including Lloyds, in repossession cases raising its ugly head again.

True greens would probably keep their car a long time and reduce mileage. Capitalism and mass manufacture of electric Teslas is not green. The chimps don't seem to think about that.

[minerve 2] 05/7/2019 12:12

"Of course, those days are gone with the ignorant greens doing their usual paradoxical nonsense of wanting carbon free energy, yet not wanting the best, by far, technology for giving them that."

Many people who are concerned about the environment are supportive of nuclear power. I wouldn't be so quick to make those assumptions. Some environmentalists are concerned about nuclear power - you are obviously going to get that in Japan. Some are more concerned with carbon emissions. It is a wide field you know.

There is no point having an electric car at the present time unless you are motivated by green issues and get 100% supply of green electricity (which is near on impossible).

If you do your research and are concerned about carbon emissions then diesel and restricting your own use, plus increase your use of public transport, is the way to go.

When you mention "paradoxical nonsense" that is exhibited by electric car buyers today. There is nothing green or ethical about using children to mine cobalt in the DRC and mining lithium, shipping it (it is weighty), to be charged up by a part natural gas source - which is most likely.

Vote posted.

I considered what Hunt had to say carefully and noted with interest the change in tone between writing the printed leaflet and writing the e-mailed document. He has at last said explicitly that we might have to walk away.

But can you believe him? Mrs May said the same and she was lying through her teeth.

In the end I had to go for:

This is it folks. No second chances. Choose me and I will deliver Brexit, unite our country and beat Corbyn.

What a difference a day makes...or two

Johnson: No-deal Brexit is very unlikely
Tory leadership candidate Boris Johnson said on Wednesday that he thinks the chances of a no-deal Brexit are "a million to one."

.....................................................................................................................................................................

Conservative Party leadership candidate Boris Johnson reiterated on Friday that it is essential Britain steps up its no-deal Brexit preparations.

The former mayor of London criticized Theresa May’s government ..(is he in it?).. for slowing down preparations after March 29 and "confusing" businesses across the country as to the possible outcome of negotiations with Brussels.

"In order to minimize risk, we must prepare for a no-deal Brexit really thoroughly," he warned.

"confusing businesses across the country”

Johnson also stated that his October 31 hard deadline for leaving the European Union with or without an agreement is "because we've had enough of defeatism and negativity." He explained that at the end of October, the EU must be able to "look deeply into our eyes and think 'My goodness, they are really going to do it'."

October 31... with or without an agreement.

“My goodness, they are really going to do it."

blueclyde: saw a programme about shorting U.K. shares.

Did it explain the only short positions held over in to "ex-div" day, have to incur the div-yield, or that the share price adjusts to accommodate that cost?
Not every one gets locked in to a position that they are forced to hold because they can not accept that their "investment" is running a loss and they sudenly have to become a "long term" investor, for months...years.
Perhaps shorters might short the stock every day that is not ex-div day? and then still trade short on ex-div day?
So thats every day then..as it is.

I saw camberwick green the other day.. it looks like flour millers are now turning to wind power?

(ps..some one please explain to mr.elbee, he is easily confused)

I couldn't give a toss, as long as JLR continue employing folk making the things in the great UK, and folk keep buying them.

I'd agree with La Forge, except that the fugging stupid politicos pander to the Greens and Loony Left and force efficient and clean diesels off the streets before suitable alternatives are created - especially in Brussels, although we'll soon be rid of them if Boris gets in.

[shy tott] 05/7/2019 10:14

I think it's 39 grand with you and other taxpayers paying 5 grand of that, thanks. It's a kia - no longer cheap cars.

I can cancel and get the deposit back with no hassle until it goes into production, which is another 6 months away, so really the order is an option. I'll see how I feel in 6 months time.

Max, who estimated an extra 200 new nukes? That's an extra 400GW.
If the average charger is 10kW, then 400GW would supply 40 million chargers simultaneously.

I think the journo who calculated we'd need 200 new nukes in the forseeble has got it wrong, even though it's great idea!

With hybrids, you are using petrol to charge the batteries, no gain.

who said anything about gain, its a subtle trade off with more efficient batteries and diesel

my car runs on the best diesel which i understand is cleaner than othe petrols

whatever happens it will take longer than the forecasters first thought, much like the weather and climate change

the next thing will be mini nuclear units and a break thru in energy storeage

nothing will in my opinion advance in isolation so there will be many solutions moving forward


as i said a liddle bit of dis and a big bit of dat

i will continue to burn logs in my special norwegian stove

Judges Rule Boris Was Right, £350 Million a Week Acceptable as Gross Figure

“The alleged offence set out in the Application for Summons is that the Claimant “repeatedly made and endorsed false and misleading statements concerning the cost of the United Kingdom’s membership of the European Union”. It appears that if the Claimant had said/endorsed a figure of £350m per week gross, or £250m per week net, there would have been no complaint.”




"Verdict never in doubt. Unlucky Remainers, another of your lies bites the dust"

[crossing_the_rubicon] 05/7/2019 10:06

Do Remainers even understand how the EU works?
The European model is essentially Platonic: a veneer of democracy kept in check by divided powers and a self-selecting political class. It’s a constitutional framework drafted by politicians who didn’t trust their own populations. It is a million miles from the British system, where the government is formed from MPs elected directly by the people, and in which Parliament is sovereign and the voters understand who is in charge and the limits of their power. Do militant Remainers not grasp this? The more we have seen of the EU since the referendum, the clearer it has become to anyone paying attention that it is antithetical to British democracy

You have summed it up well. btw, what did your 300 mile range car cost? (if you dont mind me asking)

"And with the UK perhaps leaving it will mean that they will supply the majority of the command structure and so it will be in essence a French Army paid for by the EU."

Except hernando, as it stands the UK's Armed Forces will be balls deep in the EU Army structures. See PESCO,See comments of ColonelKemp/VeteransforBritain/LawyersforBritain and co.

MPs in HoC havent a clue our Armed Forces are part of the "Future close relationship" May/Robbins envisaged.

[shy tott] 05/7/2019 09:58

mAX, Electric cars were predicated on nuclear generated electricity, where they make absolutely perfectish sense. Use nukes for say 80/90% of the uk's electricity, and at night thre'd be plenty, masses, oodles of free electricity available, very much surplus to requirements at that time (and a problem if there weren't a big sink for it all). Of course, those days are gone with the ignorant greens doing their usual paradoxical nonsense of wanting carbon free energy, yet not wanting the best, by far, technology for giving them that.

The idea of getting 100% evs on the road and charging from windmills is just ridiculous, even apart from the intermittency Achilles heel, you'd need half of England covered in windmills at maximum density, and an infrastructure to handle them.

There's a sweet point for the next 5/6 years with evs - they're so cheap to run (approx. 1/10 of petrol using e7) but that is purely because of the lack of tax currently on electricity. Slap tax on electricity for transport at the same rate as petrol and the cost advantage disappears. I've got an ev ordered - you have to wait a year for any ev so the salesman told me, others say they can get a tesla within a couple of months).


The range is now about 300 miles, so much of the range anxiety, fears of no charging points and many other previous disadvantages of evs simply disappears imv. The fear now is just how long it will take before slapping the tax on forecourt electricity, and having to have a special tariff where tax is charged on home charging, at which point people will realise the true costs of evs.

Even if blowing a gale all the time, wind cant begin to charge all then cars, all the time.

And to do it reliably, it has been estimated that it would require around 200 new nuclear power stations, plus infrastructure to suit.

It's not a goer anytime soon.

iS THERE NOT A HYBRID SYSTEM THAT RECHARGES THE BATTERY AS IT GOES ALONG

ALSO THE COMPANIES THAT ARE INTO RECHARGING ARE OIL AND GAS MAJORS THAT OBVIOUSLY WILL NOT JUST RELY ON WIND AND SOLAR

it vill be a liddle bit of dis and a big bit of dat

also there will be hot air coming on steam

Shysters are CEO's who take £30M bonuses for just being at the helm of ship that is heading towards its destination ANYWAY.

Once we leave the EU, and if we continue to have a Tory government, you will see shysters alright. The floodgates will be open.
