They will do it to a few industries. The lies of no stealth taxes on the public, won't raise enough to pay the train drivers 😂

UT.unfortunately at 68 and facing 10 years of labour government attacking multiple aspects of OAP wealth and probable imposition of having to meet all future care costs I feel many OAPs like myself who worked over 40 years without a day unemployed and paying full PAYE tax and NI will end up losing much of the wealth we had accumulated for a comfortable retirement and legacy for our children and grandchildren. I am absolutely disgusted with the medium term outlook and am starting to wish I hadn’t bothered to work my proverbials off for 42 years trying to better myself ! Labour are attacking the easiest and largest target group in society just because they know we cannot fight back - until via the ballot box - by which time it will be too late !

Scruff, I wonder if we're not being orchestrated by the right wing press? On the face of it, it would appear that a couple of teenagers have been banged to rights (one for affray & one for riot) using the full force of the law for lobbing a brick and nicking some sherbert lemons from a Southport sainsbury local. Meanwhile, just down the road in Liverpool shops are being forced to close because the police won't prosecute shop lifting offences. Meanwhile, up the road in Manchester no news yet on the pair of scallywags who bust the coppers nose at the airport. Nor over the pennines in Leeds, has there been any news on the gentlemen who set the bus alight or smashed up the 100K police car? In London the Police must be a bit stretched with people getting slaughtered daily (27,000 last year), we don't hear much from the met about how they plan to make the streets safe enough to walk around. We don't hear much from the border force about how they're going to stop the foreign boats but we do hear when they prevent a british family going on holiday when one of the parties passports hasn't got 3 months on it after the return date. We hear about the train drivers getting 75k for a working day which starts the moment they get out of bed but pensioners will be denied the winter fuel payment and have their pensions raided? I don't know about the 2 kids in the Kangaroo court but when you put it like that surely the right wing press should be tried inciting riot. It's a good job I don't listen to the MSM or I'd be very angry indeed...I'm more of a Brand man don't you know?

Support SouthFront

The Russian military’s Sever Group of Forces located and destroyed several units of Kiev forces that attempted to advance in the direction of Alekseyevsky and Kauchuk in the Russian region of Kursk, the Ministry of Defense announced in its August 17 briefing.

The ministry also said that several attacks by Ukraine’s 22nd, 115th mechanized and 95th assault brigades were repelled in the direction of Korenevo, Russkoye and Cherkasskoye Porechnoye. Kiev forces lost one main battle tank and 11 armored fighting vehicles during these advance attempts.

In addition, several gatherings of the 22nd, 61st, 115th mechanized and 82nd air assault brigades were also hit near the settlements of Novaya Sorochina, Lyubimovka, Korenevo, Leonidovo and Kositza, according to the ministry.

It also confirmed that a German-made IRIS-T medium-range air defense system made up of one launcher and one TRML-4D fire control was destroyed close to the settlement of Sennoye in the neighboring Ukrainian region of Sumy.

Russian strikes also hit Ukrainian reserves, ammunition and fuel depots close to the settlements of Kiyanitsa, Kositsa, Khoten and Boyaro-Lezhachi.

“The AFU [Armed Forces of Ukraine] losses were up to 300 Ukrainian troops, 31 armored vehicles, including three tanks, one infantry fighting vehicle, three armored personnel carriers, 25 armored fighting vehicles as well as eight motor vehicles, one IRIS-T SAM system, one field artillery gun, and one electronic warfare station,” the ministry said.

“Since the beginning of hostilities in Kursk region, the enemy lost up to 3,160 Ukrainian troops, 44 tanks, 43 armored personnel carriers, 26 infantry fighting vehicles, 244 armored fighting vehicles, 111 motor vehicles, five SAM launchers, six multiple-launch rocket system launchers, including three HIMARS MLRS [Multiple Launch Rocket System], 24 field artillery guns, and four electronic warfare stations,” it added.

The ministry also released videos showing airstrikes by Su-34 fighter bombers as well as Mi-28 and Ka-52 attack helicopters on Kiev forces in Kursk, in addition to footage of a recent Lancet loitering munition strike against a howitzer in Sumy.


Kiev forces backed by foreign mercenaries infiltrated Kursk on August 6, in a surprise attack that was apparently orchestrated with help from NATO. The Russian military is currently working to eliminate the infiltrators

New Escalation Coming: Ukrainian Unmanned Boats Explode Off Crimean Coast Non-Stop

Support SouthFront


Suffering defeats in all directions on the frontlines, including in the Kursk region, the Armed Forces of Ukraine resumed daily attacks on the Crimean peninsula. On August 17, Russian forces repelled several attacks on the western coast of the peninsula.

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reported that on the night of August 17, forces of the Russian Black Sea Fleet destroyed two unmanned boats of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Local sources shared the footage of the destruction of Ukrainian naval drones by Russian military helicopters in the Black Sea.

In the afternoon of August 17, the AFU attempted another attack on the peninsula. The footage showed that at least one more Ukrainian unmanned boat was destroyed near the shore.


Ukrainian attacks on the Crimean peninsula continue on a daily basis. On August 16, Ukrainian forces launched a combined attack on the peninsula. The Ukrainian military launched UAVs, unmanned boats and missiles in different regions of the peninsula. 12 missiles were destroyed on their way to the Crimean Bridge in the east of the peninsula. Another wave of strikes targeted the eastern shore. Helicopters of the Russian Black Sea Fleet and air defense forces destroyed five unmanned boats and one UAV in the Yarylchag bay. Three more unmanned boats and four UAVs were destroyed near the city of Sevastopol. Three more Ukrainian boats reportedly retreated.

The recent resumption of massive attacks of the Crimean peninsula, as well as several failed attempts to launch landing operations on the Kinburn and Tendrov Spits in the Kherson region may signal the upcoming Ukrainian offensive operations on the southern frontlines. After the massive attack in the Kursk region turned into bloodshed and brought no strategic results to the Ukrainian military, the Kyiv regime is expected to launch new large scale provocations, including threatening Europe with nuclear disaster. LINK The long awaited F-16 fighters from NATO are yet to officially enter the battles. They are expected to begin their operation in September, when Kyiv may attempt another offensive in the southern Kherson and Zaporozhie region together with some large landing operations on the small coastal spits, trying to cut the communication between the Russian grouping on the mainland and Crimea.

Reeves to hit banks with a profit tax on all U.K. banks To raise over 10b to be announced twin oct

[millwallfan] 17/8/2024 13:05

Trinity. Plus the fiasco of Lloyds being instructed by the government to bale out HBOS plus the need to meet imposed government controls on banking in general. The government actually did very well out of their stake in Lloyds - but it will still take some years for LBG to get back anywhere near pre crash profit ratios. Share buybacks will help in the long term but my personal preference would be to use that monies for special dividends for long suffering shareholders. I am still slightly underwater but will hold for dividends and hopefully some more share growth but only because all my 120k shares are ISA tax protected. That is of course until our wonderful labour government remove that protection as well to further stuff the many OAPs who have tried to provide themselves with a decent standard of living after most have slaved away for some 40 plus years. And please dont get me started on the £40k plus outright theft that my wife lost under the WASPI fiasco !!!

So why do you guys think the share price has been slow to rise over say 5 years plus pre-covid? Especially compared to Natwest which is also a UK focused banking model i believe and has risen progressively from £2 pre covid to £3.50

My feeling is Lloyds has 62 Billion shares in issue, vs Natwest 10 million, so there is a great dilution of the share price with Lloyds

However before 2008 and the credit crunch when Lloyds was riding high, what were the number of shares in issue then? Because if it was the same then the shares in issue are not diluting the share price and it could be just down to sentiment to the overall economy
