When is a lockdown not a lockdown? When it's not respected.

Who loses if we do pro forma lockdowns? All the little people who think they're pulling one over the "government" by continuing to violate the rules. It's not the ministers that will lose their lives or livelihoods. They won't even have to pay higher taxes! That's for the little people. You're not "getting back at Cummings" by following his example, you're just making things worse for yourself, your loved ones and your community. Nobody is coming to save you from yourselves.

"Nationalism", as Doug Stanhope observed, "does nothing but teach you to hate people you never met, and to take pride in accomplishments you had no part in.”

We should just make them separate federal type states. Raise their own taxes/own spending plans etc etc. Let them do whats best for them.

Lloyds is a U.K. bank that earns its money in the U.K. it will start to pay divs again very soon ,We should now start to rise to around 50p as first target by April

Yes my thoughts exactly another example i was thinking about is we had budget deficit of 56 billion last year take out 10 billion net to EU 15 billion we contribute to Scotland budget 14 billion to Wales 10 billion to northern Ireland that leaves England on its own with budget deficit of 7 billion thats less than our foreign aid budget so England on its own would probably have a budget surplus the four nations get more out the union than we do ???

Its in his nature graham. Brexit was in the offing but he decided to vote remain. ergo -he's a nob :-)

Josh.
I think that both Germany and Japan had a massive head start in building their economy.
At the end of WW2 and both Countries surrending, part of the terms were that neither could build weapons.
Great, thinks they, no doubt..
We can build cars, Televisions and all sorts that people will buy and therefore expand our economy ..
Not really missing out by not building battleships, fighter planes and the like.
Not a great demand at that time..

That is my understanding..

That story never made any sense, scruff. At the time he was with one of the most gorgeous girls on earth, while the prostitute looked like the back end of a bus. I reckon the idea was to knock some of the smooth edge off his image.

Anything that upsets the prostitute abusing Hugh Grant cant be all bad news.

Below form earlier post...think the extra paper work documentation will be ironed out eventually...his customers liked UK quality hence they were buying from UK and not France...it is quality that matters...






Peter Wood, who is an exporter of glass eels from Gloucester, voted to leave the European Union in 2016 but with the news of Boris Johnson’s latest deal is suddenly having a moment of realisation.

Wood admits that with this new deal, he and his customers are now going to be saddled with a lot of extra paperwork which might deter them from buying from the UK in the future.


He says: “We all produce the documentation but unfortunately our customers have also got a raft of documentation to produce to allow the import to go ahead. So why buy from the UK? Might as well buy from another producer in France who can deliver to the door no documentation, no problems.

go to the, On topic only thread, leave this to disscuss the wider picture that still has an affect on Lloyds.

Would it be possible for the Brexit-obsessed to set up their own message board so that this one could be used for the purpose for which it was intended? I came here expecting to find intelligent discussions on LLOY.
