There he is 11.14, morning Minerve.

Looks like you are a 'morning loser'

"But I expect them to go down kicking and screaming like min does every single day."

Only in your little mind Freddie.

LOL

You are a life loser, and so are many on this thread. I know it, all the Remainers and the EU know it, sadly it is only the Little Englanders who cannot see how limited their abilities are.

ROFLMAO!

Maybe this virus can come and get rid of a few hundred thousand gammons. I'm sick and tired of having to drag this deadwood around. :)

Mitchy, to answer your earlier question. There wont be a no deal, the EU cant afford a no deal. There are at least 4 countries that will leave if they are asked to contribute more and that's not including the Med countries to which the EU and the euro is grossly unfair to them preventing them from setting their own level to compete. There will be no point in them remaining if their GDP is going to drop and unemployment goes up and it makes trading more difficult and expensive.
The EU will collapse in my opinion if there is no deal. They and our government know it which is why Boris will stick to his guns. A recent report has said it doesnt make much difference to us if we go WTO, but it does to them.

Anyone surprised?

No me neither..


Chinese Scientists Find Coronavirus Did Not Originate In Wuhan Seafood Market
We found it fascinating that none other than China's nationalist propaganda mouthpiece, the Global Times, published a report overnight which dramatically changes the narrative, namely that a "New Chinese study indicates novel coronavirus did not originate in
Huanan seafood market."

According to the brand new study by Chinese researchers published on Feb 21, the novel coronavirus may have begun human-to-human transmission in late November from a place other than the Huanan seafood market in Wuhan. Of course, we already knew that, but what is critical is that until now, Beijing was adamant in sticking to the official narrative that it was the Huanan seafood market in Wuhan where
the disease emerged, despite not providing any information on what animal was the vector, or who was patient zero.

The study published on ChinaXiv, a Chinese open repository for scientific researchers, reveals the new coronavirus was introduced to the seafood market from another location, and then spread rapidly from market to market. The findings were the result of analyses of genome-wide data, sources of infection and the route of spread of 93 samples of the novel coronavirus collected from 12 countries across four continents.

The study believes that patient zero - who has not yet been identified, and whose identity holds the key to unraveling the mystery of the coronavirus source - transmitted the virus to workers or sellers at the Huanan seafood market. The crowded market facilitated the further transmission of the virus to buyers, which caused a wider spread in early December 2019. According to the researchers,
the new coronavirus experienced two sudden population expansions, including one on January 6, 2020, which was related to the Chinese New Year's Day holiday.

@Mike,

I wouldn't be so sure - times are a changing but yes, in many ways,they stay the same.

Following on from my earlier post (6541) - over-reaction or not I see coronavirus as our biggest short to medium term threat (unfortunately as evidenced by this morning's markets - should have kept my powder dry and waited a few more days!).

Brexit could go either way, so I don't see it as either a threat or an opportunity just something to keep a close watch on.

JP Morgan et al are an obvious medium term threat (but Marcus hasn't made much of an inroad to date).

Short term we have a giveaway budget looming which might just result in a sugar-rush reaction or could kick-start a sustained recovery. Time will tell, happy to hold for the time being.

Just my ramblings - DYOR and all that.

Security service leaking news of dispute with the Home Office.

There was I thinking that the security service meant 'security' - and I still do.

[mikemichael2] 24/2/2020 10:06

As you know ctr, that won't happen, just like the building of a million cheap houses.

We need another million houses, who is going to build these 'cheap' houses, it won't happen"

No we don't.

We just need to deport the 1million+ illegals for starters.

Then deport all the foreign criminals back to their countries of origin.

Then cut annual unfettered Immigration. A NET 270,000 pa inflow is too many, as is 150,000, as is 100,000.

Utrickytree...I think the news that Morgan are launching a current account with all the frills that will take 5 minutes to open, has hit Lloyds along with today's falls.

Lloyds would be the most affected by such an account. Morgan have over 50 million accounts open in the US.

I bought 20k Lloyds this morning as a short punt, no real intention of holding, if I see £250 profit today or this week, they will be sold.

I think it is all Corona stuff at moment. Was a lovely pop. Being philosophical.

We Need to build another million houses for migrants who can then live off the state.

[mikemichael2] 24/2/2020 09:38

We need another million houses, who is going to build these 'cheap' houses, it won't happen.

I don't live in an expensive area, however there is a development of over 200 houses being built a few miles away from me with asking price of around 400k, most 3 and 4 bed detached.......they are nearly all sold, they have also built a 'token' small block of 8 (affordable) 2 bed, they have all sold.

Then we see these people stuck with mum and dad, having a good job but unable to afford a house!!!!

[mitchy] 24/2/2020 09:27

I can resist anything but temptation !Added at 53.02p after seeing all the buying going on.

[cheshire pete] 24/2/2020 09:09

True diku, but then an incoming Government with a fresh mandate can change things. Civil Service must be responsive rather than obstructive and to be fair it may well be in some departments. Recall Blair's 'bear the scars on my back' for trying to change things many years ago.

If it's just hype there are a lot of countries easily taken in.
