Lloyds Banking Share Discussion Threads

How long before the discussion widens to the roots of slavery in general?

"In the Deuteronomic Code, captives obtained through warfare become slaves, as long as Israelites were not among the victims; the Deuteronomic and Exodus Codes institute the death penalty for the crime of kidnapping Israelite or any other man to enslave them. The Code appears to require enslaving the people of cities who surrender during wartime, excepting the cities of six nearby tribes which it requires be destroyed without offer of surrender."

Following on . . . What about the Romans . .conquer, . . enslave . . .incorporate into the "Empire" (hmmmm . .a bit like our Empire?). Then came the Normans . . . it was only later that we started buying slaves off of the Arabs in Africa. How many relics are we going to destroy?

"Breakdown of law and order...frightening. Mob rule"

Nothing compared to what is coming imo.

If the police response to mob violence is to run away, or even to get on their knees in supplication, then yes, we can expect more of this, and worse.

"Since 1801 the motto of the London Stock Exchange is "dictum meum pactum"

Still a few people who believe such,and live their lives according to that motto.

Clearly all those unable to accept a democratic decision do not!!!
Loser's consent has been noticeably absent from hard core anti democratic whingers like you.

"I see there are going to be mass protests this weekend,What exactly do the black protesters want?"

What they always want!!! Something for nothing.
To steal from those who have more, who have worked, saved and made sacrifices throughout their lives to have more because they themselves are entitled and lazy.

"EU blackmail... If you don't do what we ask we will allow all refugees to go to UK and refuse their return. Surely that is not only blackmail it is also against EU rules about the first safe country."


Not only blackmail Maxidi, but also an act of war.

How has the Govt hijacked a racial event?

You get more crackpotty by the day

[pilkersa] 08/6/2020 10:04

I am in. Looks very little resistance to 50p....

[maxidi] 08/6/2020 10:02

Nearly 38p for LLoy. In profit already.

[smurfy2001] 08/6/2020 09:57

Well this is looking very positive. I'm now tempted to hold my position till 45p.

[alphorn] 08/6/2020 09:49

cheshire #681. Surely you don't need that spelt out.

[ialwayswinatmonopoly] 08/6/2020 09:39

From a chartist prospective Lloy has just completed a double bottom formation and set a short term target of 42p. Volume is also high which supports the trend. (3mth time line)

[maxidi] 08/6/2020 09:36

Or bad publicity for Madonna!

[mr.elbee] 08/6/2020 09:29

[diku] 08/6/2020 09:23

Lloyds Bank chairman calls on state to take charge of toxic business loans

Norman Blackwell has urged the Government to set up a vehicle that will take debts from some firms unable to repay their coronavirus loans

One of Britain's top bankers has urged the Treasury to rapidly take responsibility for tens of billions of pounds of toxic business loans as lenders seek to free themselves of coronavirus debt.

Lloyds chairman Norman Blackwell, a former policy chief to Margaret Thatcher and John Major, called on the government to set up a vehicle that will take on debts from some companies unable to repay their state-backed coronavirus loans.

If it goes ahead the programme is likely to be compared to the so-called "bad bank" set up by ministers to handle loans in the wake of the financial crisis.

Britain's high street lenders have doled out vast amounts in emergency funding to prop up small companies during the crisis, supported by a taxpayer guarantee to cover their losses if a borrower fails to pay the money back....

For herd immunity you need 70-80% to have been infected..

So 5% or 25% really is irrelevant in the big scheme of things.

Let's hope there isn't a second wave.

Personally I'm not that hopefully and am preparing for one.

Each to their own.

[soho2] 08/6/2020 09:02

Only by a certain category of people... even the old hag of Madonna was present...says it all.

[diku] 08/6/2020 08:59

From total lockdown to protests...frustration has been building up...

[mikemichael2] 08/6/2020 08:05

Great tactics by the police over the weekend, let the yobs cause a bit of damage, crack a few police heads, and vandalise up and down. They will soon lose support.

There is a market for live lobster, crab and shellfish here, if fishing boats obtain licences to sell direct to the public in this country. Straight from the boat to consumers. Create new markets locally.
