The banks never recovered from the 2008 'adjustment' . I hope the same will not be true of this one . But 30p may be it's new fair value !Especially when they dump more paper on the market at this much reduced price.

Good afternoon max - are you suggesting that following the majority of posts on here is better?

ROFLMAO

Marvellous how the leaver's fears are becoming the Drumbeat of this thread! LOL

The FT has been a lefty/€uro knackers yard for years.

Reputations take years to build up but can be destroyed overnight. The FTs reputation for objectivity is now shot.

The Daily Remoaner has become an embarrassment, assuming those excerpts are genuine.

How fortunate there's not a thing these wretched people can do.

If this went ahead Nottingham would indeed be filled by Fun , fannies and Forest from Leicester.

Never been a better time to leave behind our largest market and look for deals to sell things we don't make to struggling developing nations.

(I detect some sarcasm in this FT comment)


ROFLMAO!

I fear we are going to learn some very hard truths over the next few years. It is not going to be pleasant, but perhaps a better, more sane, more realistic UK will emerge at the other end which finally commits itself to the continent that it is, and was always, part of. It is going to mean some fundamental changes. For that the Tories must lose power, and never again obtain a majority. It is long overdue for the UK to ditch the FPTP system that has led us into this mess. As in the US, FPTP overwhelmingly favours a two party system. As in the US, one or both of those parties can be captured by their extremes. It is then very difficult for the moderate views of the majority to get a look in. The US has experienced Trump. We have Brexit. No system is perfect, but there is a desperate need to get an electoral system in the UK that does not reflect a minority of extremists. Had the UK had a proportional voting system last year then no single party would have won, but the majority in the country that now favours either remaining or a second referendum would have been reflected in government. The 80 seat Tory majority is an obscenity. An obscenity which may also lead to the break up of the UK.

Great comment on the FT.

But still Jacko votes for him , the saggy old cloth Cat lol.

E-scooters can be very exciting. I was lucky enough last year to be in StT during presentations of some impressive electric products like a full size helicopter etc. They had roped off the quayside to demonstrate a sort of dragster electric scooter. Talking to the guys they said take it for a circuit but have you ridden some big bikes before. On the videos you can see the Tesla's blowing off the muscle cars - well imagine the torque on two wheels, even though they were very large tyres. Crazy acceleration - generated a very big smile. Next time I should wear a crash helmet!

You know, the UK could, as a sovereign state, decide that it’s in our best interest to closely align with the EU. Imagine that!

[minerve 2] 01/7/2020 12:30

Latest polls show 57% want to remain in the EU and that number is growing daily. The lies and deceptions are slowly penetrating the mesmerizing cloud of nonsense and bigotry spun by UKIP and their Tory enablers. 147 billion has been spent on this insanity already. We can only pray that its not too late. No deal would simply sink whats left of the ship.
