How some of these so called experts now saying UK should have lockdown much earlier then we would have had fewer deaths...there is always the differing opinion after the event...how about the World should have lockdown when Wuhan went into lockdown...

After lockdown, if there is an after lockdown and not a new normal. Yes, people will want to get out there, go to shops, go to restaurants etc, but a lot of those pubs and establishments have been surviving for the last 20 years on massive, very low interest loans and generating very little, if any profit. A lot will not reopen as they all have been praying for 3 months of nice weather to boost their earnings and help the them survive the year. Well they had the weather.

The ones that do survive will realise that they can quadruple their profits if they get rid of 75% of their staff, entertainment budgets etc because their competitors have gone, people will be desperate for lower quality, bad service. Stand in the pub yard with a plastic mug full of flat beer, “isn’t this great!”......or they stay at home and eat and drink at neighbours garden, takeaway delivery party.
It will take time to recover or change to the new normal, even if CV does go away for good.

Diku, I dont think Brexit has anything to do with it. I think most people know WTO was always the way to go. The fact the establishment and remoaners wanted it took off the table told you everything. It was the nuclear bomb to the EU, a means to get peace and an equitable ending. And it still is. It makes little difference to us and we keep the money, but it makes a difference to them and they want the money.

Is Alps at it again, then, I've had him on filter for ages. I think Alps is an alias for Starmer.

You really do like to see the UK suffer don't you Alp.

"good-for-nothing stupidheads"...

Talking of which, pity that we've got a pathetic individual like Fairbairn at the head of the CBI. Let's hope that her successor has a spine and will inspire British business to take advantage of the new opportunities, instead of whingeing and lying on their backs with their legs open.

Lloyds Banking Group shares: new trigger levels to watch closely

[minerve 2] 11/6/2020 10:25

In preparation of the COVID economic fallout, the possible second wave, and the self-destruction caused by Hard-Brexit, and, considering our new found love for the Chinese, a special Little Englander Wonton soup is now being served down at the soup kitchen. Come along, everybody is welcome.

Pity Black Economy aint listed. Next divi could be massive.

I think that all that is going on in Yankee land, Covid,riots,and the elections are bad things coming together at a bad time which will now doubt have worldwide effect. Old saying I think is true here, if America sneezes the world catches a cold.
There will be a knock on effect if the yanks dont get things sorted.

Companies laying off staff due to uncertainties not just Covid 19 but also Brexit..2 in one fear...if and when all these lockdown restrictions are totally lifted and Brexit deal is done and as demand increases companies will start rehiring xyz amounts...probably 2021 - 2022...

Chav, then the next wave, higher than the last.

[chavitravi2] 11/6/2020 10:04

I think people are a bit tentative right now about going out but as numbers drop and the media back off, the sun shines people will put it behind them and get on with life.

[diku] 11/6/2020 09:59

I thought those shares were for nil consideration...

DOWN DOWN DEEPER AND DOWN, GET DOWN DEEPER AND DOWN...

A clean brexit this year will help us recover from the pandemic. Let's use the freedoms to rebuild our fishing and farming for more home food supply for starters. Cut the food miles and create jobs here.John Redwood

Talking about Nightingale those hospitals were nothing but a PR farce....and the gammons bought it.

Take a warehouse, get loads of foreigners to erect a 'hospital looking trade show', get a few NHS placards out the front and take a photograph. And before you can say "The Boris Mushroom Tip" you have yourself a hospital!

Not so!

You need the equipment and the nurses which these hospitals simply didn't have. The reality was that these hospitals were not ready, did not have the capacity and the real solution was to send ill patients into care homes. Even COVID sufferers who were not care home residents ended-up in care homes. The next part of the plan involved pressuring the paramedics to only bring in cases that were at death's door. So, many younger folk died because they were told their case didn't warrant hospital attention. In reality it did and may died because of this immoral ploy.

Thanks Boris, this is your legacy and you will not shift it.

Boris and the NHS elite are just snouts in the trough.

UK Plc can't cope with no-deal Brexit and coronavirus, says CBI

Dame Carolyn Fairbairn said the resilience of British business is on the floor as a result of the pandemic

British businesses do not have the resilience to cope with a no-deal Brexit after being hammered by the coronavirus pandemic, the outgoing boss of the Confederation of British Industry has warned.

Dame Carolyn Fairbairn said that any buffers needed to cope with the additional costs and planning of leaving the EU without a trade deal had already been exhausted by the Covid-19 crisis.

In an interview with the BBC, Dame Carolyn said: "The resilience of British business is absolutely on the floor. Every penny of cash that had been stored up, all the stockpiles prepared have been run down.

"The firms that I speak to have not a spare moment to plan for a no trade-deal Brexit at the end of the year – that is the common sense voice that needs to find its way into these negotiations."...

I see it everywhere too. You always get a huge reversal to any restrictions, its human nature.

[millymoose] 11/6/2020 09:34

They are not new shares. They are bought on the market

[smartie6] 11/6/2020 09:33

No I’m not. Lol.
Just a realist.
