Why do certain characters crank up the music volume so loud whilst driving with the windows down...and the music sound is all very distorted...is it because they have difficulty hearing the music? or just attention seekers...look at me I look so cool in my car with loud music...

...never underestimate the stupidity of the American Billy Bobs and Mary Lou's who thought they were voting for the Apprentice!.

No they didn't. They thought they were voting for someone who was reasonably normal, unlike most of the political class. They thought they were voting for someone who would welcome immigrants while not allowing the country to be swamped with immigrants. They thought they were voting for someone who recognized that some parts of the world were sources of terror and death and in dealing with such places it is better to be safe than sorry.

GtG. 129 of 178. How would you like it if one of your families lives was cut short?

You miss the point GTG. Pre covid peoples lives were being cut short all the while. I lost my 4 yr old only nephew to aggressive brain cancer, one of the reasons being that the NHS has to make some very tough decisions about benefit vs costs of drugs & treatment. You have to ask yourself why pre covid NICE would deny treatment of say 100k to treat a child but post covid they're prepared to throw the kitchen sink at the problem without any regard to cost. Get a grip ffs 50k (predominantly
over 65) deaths at a cost of £258B is approx £6m/ life.

Some very inconvenient facts that remainers will do well to avoid.

Fear of missing out.

The Financial Times says that £25 million a week is being pulled from funds to find a riskier and more productive outlet i.e. the stock market. Added to that there are billions sitting on the sidelines waiting for the right moment to get back in. Lloyds is a sitting duck bargain currently IMO. Even if Lloyds doesn't attract more than it's fair share of any new investment, and there's no reason why it shouldn't, a rising FTSE will drag us up. When the tide comes in all the boats in the harbour rise.

I think that we might just be going to see another run up to 37p in the coming days or weeks. Fingers crossed we will open up at 33p plus tomorrow. That at least will be a start.

Lloyds is all sentiment and trading driven at the moment, the low price doesn't really reflect fundamentals.

My sentiment is a little better too after today's rise. I remain fully invested and long.

Bet Trump is eager to press that debt reset button...then he can say he eliminated the debt and no other President managed to do that...

The pot is close to boiling over..

We have various hotspots about to erupt..

A World War is the inevitable destination as cover for a financial reset - the world is simply overly indebted.

You cannot solve a debt problem by taking on more debt.

Mr LB
Science is guesswork until proven but lasts the time of a mayfly - because things change.
Arts is the science of recognising the discovery but arguing that its value is not necessarily permanent.
The words temporary and permanent - are probably anachronistic today - since truth matters not.
As for C 19 the left are out for the kill. demand a vaccine - Sage . No known virus stays still and never has - why ppl accept a flu jab that is alien to anything coming?
Will need DC to get BJ out of this cesspit of fake news.

Helen Spain23 Jun 2020 8:41AM' Put not your faith in Foreign Princes' goes the old saying. We are selling our family silver to conglomerates who care not a toss for Britain or its people. Look what happened to Cadburys a few years ago. The Americans ruined the chocolate. Treated its workers with contempt. I have not bought Cadburys chocs since. It was once my favourite.A compromise could be made perhaps by only allowing foreign companies to have only up to 30% in shares. So no overall control.3LikeReplyStephen Smith23 Jun 2020 9:07AM@Helen Spain ...I think you will find that Kraft broke up Cadburys and sold sections to  other companies. A Spanish firm - forget the name - now owns the chocolate making section.

Ed Richards23 Jun 2020 10:04AM"We stopped caring about where things came from or that they had to pass through several borders and time zones before they reached consumers, as long as they were more affordable."I'm not sure who 'we' refers to here.  Politicians, from all parties, certainly stopped caring.  But if political parties were bypassed and the people were asked directly, I suspect that the vast majority would want British jobs and skills protected from foreign take-over. There is an obvious compromise available;  foreign actors should be allowed to buy shares in UK companies, but they should not be able to take control of them. With the coming recession we are about to relearn a vital lesson; a job is a precious commodity (whether it's in steel or shampoo) - we give them away at our peril.

x5 - so who in your little world is going to invest in new UK production plants when there is excess capacity and a slowing global economy?

You really are a dreamer and the scary bit is you seem to be starting to believe it yourself.

Selective history seems rampant amongst leftist academics. Science it seems has to support political ideology and if it doesn’t, then the science, or the scientist has to made to conform. The models must prove socialism works by proving that global warming is taking place.

The left have won. Now they are doubling down to take us as far as possible towards serfdom and absolute poverty. They use their models like battering rams against the last vestiges of capitalism. Global warming models to shut down the capitalist energy supply. Central Bank financial models to shut down the capitalist money system. Epidemiology models to close down the capitalist businesses directly. The long March through the institutions has resulted in the entirety of academia being socialists. Ike warned us to be on the look out for a new scientific and technological autocracy and that’s what we have. Just as the Atillas throughout history had their soothsayers and witchdoctors, our democratic leaders are now lead by “the science” in much the same way as the way lead by “the church”.

It’s not easy to pick apart a society which was based on the idea of knowledge, reason and logic, who’s greatest achievements were in the fields on science. The problem is that we gave up on philosophy. Science should have been people in white coats discovering the truth about our universe, instead it began to take on a the philosophical role for which it is entirely unsuited. Science is the trees that grow in the soil of philosophy, unguided it becomes a tool of massive moral destructiveness.

A society that pretends to be compassionate, is not compassionate at all.

Sonny Bill 23 Jun 2020 4:52PMYou talk of excess deaths, yes more people have died because the NHS failed them!  Whilst the government was busily saving the NHS they forgot about those in need of medical treatment, all operations are on hold.  You cannot even get an operation done at a private hospital.  There is something sinister going on here.

Pav Lova 23 Jun 2020 5:00PMAfter 3 months of weakening vulnerable peoples immune systems by frightening them inside and making them live within sterile environments, I'd fully expect a spike of deaths again in another few months when the govt conflict Covid-19 deaths with influenza in the early part of the flu season.Which will be further complicated by face mask use having incubated lung infections.

Good ole Boy Trump near to confusion and - or blowing a gasket!

The White House’s stance on China was thrown into confusion on Monday night after trade adviser Peter Navarro announced a trade deal between the two countries was “over”, only to be quickly contradicted by Donald Trump.

Navarro told Fox News the “turning point” came when the US learned about the coronavirus only after a Chinese delegation had left Washington following the signing of the phase one deal on 15 January.

“It was at a time when they had already sent hundreds of thousands of people to this country to spread that virus, and it was just minutes after wheels up when that plane took off that we began to hear about this pandemic,” said Navarro, one of the most outspoken critics of China among Trump’s senior advisers.

“It’s over,” he said.

But shortly after, the US president tweeted: “The China trade deal is fully intact. Hopefully they will continue to live up to the terms of the agreement!”

The terms were "Help me GET ELECTED. LOL.

There was no need for them in the first place. I think Alp. pointed out that these daily briefings were not widespread elsewhere.
