Starmer wanted more Lockdowns...Starmer isn't very bright. ..."Lockdown was an absolutely disastrous policy for Covid in Britain. For most people the infection caused only a minor illness, no worse than the 'flu. Yet the increased mortality caused by lockdown for cancer and heart disease totally overshadowed any reduction such a policy achieved in Covid deaths."The average age of those dying from Covid was over 81.6 years in Britain - beyond the normal average age of death. Yet we are still seeing the consequences of that policy in the late stage presentation of cancer at a much younger age - the number of life years lost will be significantly greater because of lockdown than Covid itself for years to come."Diagnostic delays occurred as people were too frightened to access medical care because of government brainwashing to 'save the NHS'. There were severe delays in getting essential scans and biopsies. This continues today as many are still frightened by the official propaganda echoed in the mainstream media. Even now the BBC website heralds a new wave of Covid this summer. 'Project fear' is proving extremely difficult to terminate."We need to learn the lessons. Controlling infection when those most likely to be harmed - the elderly, sick, obese and immuno-compromised - can be identified needs a different approach. The vulnerable should be advised to isolate whilst the majority carry on as normal. Common sense was thrown out the window by our politicians right from the beginning."Dissenting voices, including mine, were cancelled. The subsequent public enquiry has no scientific value whatsoever despite costing millions. The only winners are the participating lawyers with their fat fees.The consequences on healthcare, education of children and our economy will last until the end of this decade."We simply have to have a better strategy in place for handling a future pandemic. This will surely come."- Professor Karol Sikora, 01 July 202...facts4eu

The media cliche goes that throughout this election, Sir Keir Starmer has resembled a museum curator transporting an antique across a polished floor. The analogy is unfortunate. The formidable Ming dynasty ended in a dribble of weak and remote leaders who were mercilessly manipulated by court eunuchs, before finally imploding in 1644. ....Daily Telegraph

So, one moment of brilliance from Jude Bellingham saved England's blushes against Slovakia.
Still, Switzerland next.

Onwards and upwards I say.

Sorry, that should be sideways and backwards.

Lloyds Bank private rental offshoot starts £13m scheme


Work has started on yet another Build To Rent scheme - this time a £13m project in Nottingham.

The project, on a six storey period canalside building, is a joint venture between bloc Group, CRT and Citra Living, part of Lloyds Banking Group, to create 95 residential units including 12 studios 42 one-bed flats and 41 two-bedroom flats.

A spokesperson for H2O says: “Working with our project partners, we’re revitalising an area of Nottingham with a brand new and modern offering, while maintaining and protecting enough of its character that we don’t lose its rich history.”

Ground floor amenity space for residents will also be included and the scheme is due for completion in March 2025.

Andy Hutchinson, chief executive of Citra Living, says: “Bringing disused buildings back in to use and regenerating areas into new communities is central to what

Citra is about. Regenerating the warehouse will bring much needed homes to the area, allowing more people to live in the type of quality homes they want in the areas that give them access to the facilities and amenities they want.”

Citra Living is the Build To Rent offshoot of Lloyds Banking Group: it owns and operates a portfolio of more than 2,000 homes across the UK.

Just a month ago it acquired 156 new properties from the country’s largest housebuilder Barratt as part of a strategic partnership between the two.

Lloyds Banking Group shares up 2%; US investment bank a fan


Keefe Bruyette & Woods (KBW) remains a fan of Lloyds Banking Group PLC (LSE:LLOY) after taking a closer look at the business banking arm, which contributes about 15% of the group's earnings.

This follows a seminar where Lloyds showcased its strategies for digitisation and diversification, drawing favourable comparisons to Barclays' offerings for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and mid-sized companies.

KBW noted that both Lloyds and Barclays PLC (LSE:BARC) are focusing on expanding their digital services, increasing loan offerings, and promoting other group products to business customers.

Despite both banks pursuing similar strategies, KBW reckons Lloyds is currently in a stronger position and has good potential for growth.

Overall, KBW remains positive about Lloyds, rating the shares as "outperform" with a target price of 65 pence.

The investment bank considers the current valuation, with a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 7.9 times and a price-to-tangible-book-value (P/TBV) ratio of 1.1 times, to be reasonable.

These metrics are used to assess a company's stock price relative to its earnings and book value, respectively.

KBW believes these ratios are favourable, especially considering the bank's return on tangible equity (ROTE) objectives, which measure how effectively a bank uses its tangible assets to generate profits.

Lloyds shares were up 2% at 55.86p.

It's all just a money spinner, especially for Uefa. All good for the economy I suppose, gets people out there spending.

Scotland could not put the ball in the net themselves....both Scotland's goals were own goals.

[utrickytrees] 01/7/2024 12:57

Stan, Scotland have been terrific. Its a great achievement that a nation like Scotland have qualified & even scored a couple of goals. If I were a sweaty id be over the moon, have the pannini sticker album and everything! For me Scotland have come to a bit of a cross roads they can either say 'right we've qualified and this world stage is where we want to be in future' OR they can say 'right let's berate England like the special needs country that we were prior to qualifying'. Choice is your Sam but know one in England is interested in anything you say because your basically just an expensive irrelevance.

'Hospital patients in England are being left to die alone due to staff shortages, according to a new report by the Royal College of Nursing (RCN). The RCN said its research suggested that only a third of shifts had enough registered nurses on duty'

Been to see my mate 3 times now after he had a 'bleed on the brain' so he is in a stroke ward with about 20 others in various stages of recovery, all the time I have been, their has been 6 or so nurses on duty, all chatting and giggling together behind their reception. They never seem 'under pressure.

Are we being fed more fake news???
