Define "moderate" in bonus terms?...and what about share awards?...

How much will this FT comment carry over to Lloyds?

"ECB tells eurozone banks not to pay dividends until January 2021. Central bank also restricts buybacks and calls on lenders to be ‘moderate̵7; in bonuses. Banks across Europe braced for further heavy loan-loss charges."

I think it could be a precursor to increasing taxes on food.

It's not the aim that I have issues with. It is the haphazard , and seemingly sinister, way it is done. It seems rushed. Was it even in the manifesto? Does the manifesto have any meaning anymore? Is this just a SCummings dictatorship by-proxy? Is COVID the real driving issue or is there some other motive?

8% of worse-case COVID patients are obese. That's not a meaningful statistic that is going to have any affect on the second wave. It's like having 100 even stocks in your portfolio and expecting one to have a meaningful affect on the year-end results. Very unlikely unless you are one of the Amazon seed investors.

gb,

this is a genuine question- given that Lloyds has lost over 90% of it's
value over the last 20 years, why are you shocked by recent performance?.

Just like no returns on saving rates this share malaki is also becoming a zero sums game last few years...only beneficiaries are the insiders having dual Directorships laughing all the way to their bank...

[grahamite2] 28/7/2020 10:24

Why should the government target obesity? It's none of their damned business.

Patient,

Turkey shouldn't be in Nato - they should have been booted over their antics in Syria and their cosying up to Russia with the GTA missile system.

Turks cannot be trusted.

mm2 - YOUR lack of judgement. Did you have training for that?

[grahamite2] 28/7/2020 10:08

I don't know what all this talk of war between Greece and Turkey is about. But if it came, England would support Greece as it has in the past, regardless of what the Europeans might do.

Thanks for the heads-up on tyre vouchers but my car has very expensive run-flats. Each corner would cost the same for a full set on your Jazz.

PC - VP would be grinning from ear to ear. He is doing very well these past few years without firing a shot. Not a good situation.

[patientcapital] 28/7/2020 09:29

It would be a strange state of affairs were two members of NATO to be at war with each other.

[maxk] 28/7/2020 09:27

Funny enough Alp, I had that down as a €uro special.

[alphorn] 28/7/2020 09:20

max - could be that latest car on the other thread, also known as the 'Brexit special'. It blows up as soon as it hits anything. Clever positioning of the tank.

[maxk] 28/7/2020 09:16

What is going to happen on 01/01/21 that us thicko brexiteers cant see Alp?

[alphorn] 28/7/2020 09:12

More and more nerves on here by the day. Less and less confident.

Let's talk about anything except what is looming up for 01/01/21.

Amusing to watch.

[freddie01] 28/7/2020 09:06

So who thinks the EU wont betray Greece and leave them to it if it comes to war with Turkey??

You would think so yes.

[gbh2] 28/7/2020 08:51

Shocked by the share price performance to date, even shares acquired via Lloyd's shares save & Bonus schemes are no longer worth holding.

[geckotheglorious] 28/7/2020 08:44

So who thinks the EU wont betray Greece and leave them to it if it comes to war with Turkey??

Death knell for EU.
Game over.

And doesn't come soon enough.

Investing in modern governmentBy JOHNREDWOOD | Published: JULY 28, 2020The public have had an enforced home course in doing much more on line. During the lock down you had to pay bills by electronic means, buy non food items over the net, talk to friends and family by phone or video conference. I had to do most of my  contact work by video or phone link, and everything else by email or blog. Many people have got used to working from home, linking to their colleagues, employer , clients and in my case constituents by the web.This experience provides opportunity for government to make more progress with its digital transition. Much of government is about taking money off people and giving money to people who need state assistance. Road fund licence, congestion charges, many parking charges and other vehicle taxes are now collected electronically. Many people do now fill in on line tax returns, and VAT is paid often without people realising it when they settle a bill with a credit or debit card. There has also been substantial progress with paying benefits through on line claims.The two large employers of the state, health and education, are likely now to adopt more of the digital revolution as a result of their experiences during the CV 19 crisis. Patients are being encouraged to go for on line or video based consultations. These can be adapted so the GP who might need an expert opinion can use the pictures to engage  a specialist colleague rapidly when the symptoms are shown over the video link. Use is already made of remote technology for  ordering follow on prescriptions.Schools have been learning about remote teaching and the electronic assistance to receiving and marking home work. This can be useful when things have returned to a more normal pattern. Remote technology could allow more pupils to access exceptional lectures or lessons as state schools build a library of great lessons from their filmed activities.Many service businesses already offer digital only services which are often better value because they only use individual employees to do the things that require judgement and differentiation. They  can standardise and automate the rest. Opportunity presents to government and state services. On line is usually more efficient and cheaper offering economies to government as it adopts these methods.
