Don't agree. Government support to everyone eases pressure on banks. Profits will be down but absolutely no reason for government support for the banks.

That’s before all the rules have been relaxed and banks incentivised to become lender of the last resort to SMEs. Deplete cash reserves. When hit with defaults that are coming, remember before all of this we had 8% zombie companies, then banks p&l going to be decimated. Agree that there’s been at lot of liquidity pumped but when everything adds up, begin to panic.

Ok so you can't because they won't. What do you think the stress tests were for, fun?

Wouldn't it be nice to see Antonio stand up for the company and the shareholders and tell the B of E and government a few home truths about Lloyds bailing out Gordon Browns mistakes instead of rolling over on his back and accepting whatever they throw at the bank.

Ignoble - Monty will remember this, as it was him who recommended that I take a fixed rate of 8.16% with my pension pot.

I've been collecting it now for over 20 years and it can't go on for ever, but now I'm even wondering whether I'll get it tomorrow.

If I have to explain you’ll never get it. FFS.

Maxidi, sounds like a better run than I was on - Booker, maybe? I was with BM.

[smartie6] 30/3/2020 09:17

Lol.
You haven’t a clue gaffer.

Yes I remember alistair darling very well. Northern rock a well run company.

[gaffer73] 30/3/2020 09:16

Lloyds won't be asking for government support.

[smartie6] 30/3/2020 09:07

It’s definitely a touch.
I don’t know how they could defend paying it if they try to seek government support in the future. Shameful if they pay it.

TW pulled theirs with two weeks to go so imo we need to get through this week before counting on getting it, that said I still think it's a touch and no go situation!

[scruff1] 30/3/2020 09:03

I suspect if they were going to pull the dividend they would have done it by now

[montyhedge] 30/3/2020 08:51

When dividend gets pulled I see 26p.

[wendsworth] 30/3/2020 08:49

mitchy : Possibly. I pulled my previous 30p order! As ever the DOW will drive the indices....and their healthcare system ain't gonna be able to cope initially.
