Portside - if your emails and letters to MPs and others are as rabid as those you post all over advfn then I'm not surprised that they didn't respond.

tenapen 'Barclays (LSE: BARC), which needed no bailout'
Barc. did need a bailout. It just chose to get it from money that it lent to the Quatari's rather than from the Bank of England (allegedly)!

Buxton also expressed doubts that Bramson’s proposals would result in big sums of capital being funnelled into other parts of the business. “Your revenues disappear on day one that you announce you’re withdrawing from things, but costs . . . stay an awful lot longer,” he said. “The idea that capital would be freed up and invested in the retail bank or [credit] cards, or returned to shareholders, is a rosy scenario — fanciful, I think.”

Buxton is not an investor in Sherborne through his Alpha fund, but Sherborne is held by other Old Mutual funds.

Another top 30 investor in Barclays, who declined to be named, said that “jaws had dropped” when it was announced that Bramson had taken a stake in Barclays.

“Those invested in Sherborne were staggered that that is how he had chosen to spend their money; they had expected something materially different,” the fund manager said.

“We can all go and buy Barclays shares without having to go via a vehicle that pays him [Bramson] to do it. There was complete bewilderment.”

It is understood that Barclays has mapped out Bramson’s plans using its own numbers, which showed a hit to profits that another investor described as “gargantuan, terrifying, hideous”.

Even a Sherborne investor sympathetic to Bramson’s cause expressed surprise that he had not yet revealed his plan publicly. The individual said: “We expected him to show his cards in June — it’s now a case of ‘hurry up!’ ”

Barclays will report first-half results on Thursday. Analysts at UBS expect the bank to report adjusted pre-tax profits of £1.3bn. Performance at Barclays’ investment bank — where income is traditionally strong in the first half of the year — will be scrutinised particularly closely.

Activist investor Edward Bramson has suffered a blow in his battle to shake up Barclays after another leading investor came out in defence of the bank.

Richard Buxton, chief executive of Old Mutual Global Investors and manager of its £2.2bn UK Alpha fund, said that the proposal of the 5.4% shareholder to shrink Barclays’ investment bank was poorly timed and the wrong approach.

“Bramson’;s timing seems bizarre,” Buxton told The Sunday Times. “[With Barclays] having gone so far down the road of building an investment bank — and all the pain that has gone with it in terms of . . . write-offs — it would be the wrong time to bale out now.”

He added: “You are starting to get volatility back into financial…

As for barc.

It losed countless customers after its failed IT upgrade.

It is rightly being investigated again.

And a lot like M&S / sainsbury these are Old brands and are seen as Old and stale by the young and destined to slowly die off as the old folk die off.


have a nice day.

Banking crisis? Pah! It’s been a full 10 years since the government bailed out failing banks with taxpayers money — and though some people might say they should have been left to rot, that alternative would surely have driven the UK economy to its knees. No, the bailout was, in my opinion, exactly the right thing to do.
But it’s looking increasingly to me like the markets are treating banks as the same pariahs they were back in 2007-8. And I can’t help seeing Barclays (LSE: BARC), which needed no bailout, as being seriously undervalued right now.

Hi bernie37,
If you was one of the many without assets doing a bad jobs for little pay (as there are no better paid jobs where you are) would you still think the BoE did the right thing.
If you had a child in 2003 ! all of its life it will have known only a struggle. You would have eccepted this ?.

No-deal Brexit will make it ‘illegal’; to pay pensions to retired British expats living in EU, MPs told

Warning comes as leading service industries say they have been 'thrown under the bus' by Theresa May’s Chequers plan

It could be “illegal”; to pay private pensions to many retired British expats if the UK crashes out of the EU without a deal, MPs have been told.

The Association of British Insurers said pensioners who receive their payments into bank accounts in their adopted countries could be left without cash.

“That is a perfectly plausible risk in the future if no agreement is reached in some countries of the EU,” said Huw Evans, the ABI’s director general.


Now that the insurers are obviously aware of the threat to client future financial well being can they continue to sell their products to the British public without a warning that pensions may not be payable to those who retire overseas?
