LLOYDS is going to FLY john.a.reeves: the media will play this up with as much sensationalism as it can think of! God forbid that the media (red tops especially) will do to town on this!! Due to how quick it appears to be spreading there is real concern. We are already seeing events cancelled. A recent mobile convention in Barcelona, F1 GP in China postponed, Japan Olympics has question marks hanging over in, Italian football postponed, Venice festival being shortened, Austria putting boarder up with Italy. If this spreads into the likes of the UK or Germany then we will have issues. Markets will plummet.

LLOYDS is going to FLY john.a.reeves: Problem (I guess like always) is that the media will play this up with as much sensationalism as it can think of! This obviously will feed into market sentiment and this will over react accordingly. Good morning John a Reeves, Precisely, I noticed that one news programme last night ( either BBC or Sky) reporting on the number of cases now in the U.K. They stated that the number had JUMPED to 13 rather than a rather more moderate “risen.” I think it is obvious that there is no vaccine for this particular virus as it has only been around for a couple of months or so but as the media likes to, on occasions, liken it to influenza I just wonder whether the UK flu jab might just give a teeny bit of protection against the more extreme eventualities portrayed in the media. Best regards TJ

LLOYDS is going to FLY Hi JAR Thanks, appreciate and follow what your saying. it is not a fear of coronavirus I have, more a fear of potential travel restrictions should things get worse. I would rather be in Italy where medical standards are high than in Thailand where they are of a lower standard. See what happens, out of my control really so no point worrying much about it.

LLOYDS is going to FLY skiking37 - hi skiking37: However, this new strain doesn’t have a vaccine at the moment and appears to be highly infectious which is why areas and being locked down. This prevents people from working, spending, driving etc. Good point - I don’t deny there’s an economic effect. My assumption is that a vaccine will be developed (but not soon) to mitigate these going forward. Problem (I guess like always) is that the media will play this up with as much sensationalism as it can think of! This obviously will feed into market sentiment and this will over react accordingly. Best wishes JAR

Is it time for Rene to list on Nasdaq? The City’s discount on Rene should be tested in that the company lists in USA . We will see if USA agrees with the City or not?

LLOYDS is going to FLY Your comments about UK flu is true and something I’ve been pointing to when people are fretting about the number of deaths in China. The province affected alone is about the same size as the UK in terms of population. UK has a vaccine for common flu as they learn from Australasia where the strain starts and passes around the world. However, this new strain doesn’t have a vaccine at the moment and appears to be highly infectious which is why areas and being locked down. This prevents people from working, spending, driving etc.

Stanley's reported flagged departure I wonder if Barclay’s will offload the IB business once Mr Staley departs?

Brexit Wars 3 This is the sort of thing which is happening daily because of the licence to be racist and violent has been sanctioned by Brexit: Sky News Man punches woman in face after she defends friend from coronavirus racial slurs Meera Solanki says a man harassed her and her friends and punched her when she told him to stop.

Brexit Wars 3 john.a.reeves: One wonders if this petition will be more successful than the one calling for the ‘Remainer’s Vote’ (aka ‘Second EU Referendum’) It only has just under another 6 million signatures to go before it too can be considered a monumental waste of time. Still … it keeps them off the streets JAR Thicko. It is not a petition it is a registration of interest. The legal case will be decided by the EU. The case is simple: EU citizenship is a statehood which cannot be stripped away from an individual except in extreme cases ( e.g. terrorism). The problem will be of course that the UK is treating the citizens from EU states abysmally. IMHO, SBK

Brexit Wars 3 Eadwig: Show us your 2019 data then, big man. a) it doesn’t exist and b) the provisional data shows you’re STILL wrong. Just admit you got confused, yet again, between the Eu and the Eurozone. tradingeconomics.com United Kingdom GDP Annual Growth Rate | 1956-2019 Data | 2020-2022 Forecast |... Britain's annual economic growth slowed to 1.1 percent in the fourth quarter of 2019 from a revised 1.2 percent in the previous period, still beating market expectations of 0.8 percent, a preliminary estimate showed. That was the weakest pace of... I’m not confused about anything. UK GDP grew by more than the Eurozone in 2019 (on an annualised basis). It grew at the same pace as the wider EU (both 1.1%. It grew faster than Germany, France, Italy and Japan and only Canada and he US in the G7 grew faster. There is absolutely no doubt that the UK is now growing faster than the EU as a whole now based on all forward looking soft data. The impact of the Coronavirus on China is absolutely hammering EU exporters. The GDP numbers for Q1 2020 should make interesting reading. The fact is @Eadwig that to you lot are so desperate to prove your false narrative that the UK economy would collapse because of Brexit that you have to go scratching around for growth figures from 2 years ago.
