If you take the casual dining sector as one example, multiple businesses in that
industry were barely surviving pre the shutdown.

Should banks keep this type of business afloat?.

Appreciate this is to simplify a complex issue, but I'm doing so to make a point.

FCA are excellent at blaming banks for the crash and saying they should cough up.(shareholders) They are useless at prosecuting directors and institutions for the tricks they get up to. Goldman Sachs and their buddies just plead the third amendment and laugh in our faces. Our country has to hang out its dirty washing for all to see while the rest of the world just laughs at us and keeps everything in house.

Dear Supporter, The global pandemic caused by the Coronavirus means our country is in a serious crisis, along with the rest of the world. We will come through this massive, difficult challenge. However, the vital decisions that are taken over the next few weeks will have a huge bearing on the recovery, both in terms of scale and speed. The social and economic impacts of this crisis are profound. Our Prime Minister needs to show true leadership as confidence is slipping fast; he should change the ministers responsible for delivering on testing and equipping our brave NHS workers, for others who can perform. Incredibly, its exactly one year ago today that we took the decision to activate the Brexit Party with the slogan Change Politics for Good. What a year its been! So much has happened. Firstly, thank you for your incredible support. The Brexit Party had a huge impact, rescuing Brexit, and forcing substantial change in the leadership of the Conservatives. They then won a massive majority in the General Election by adopting many of our proposals. There would have been no Brexit without The Brexit Party. There is much more to be done to keep trying to change things for the good. I have been keen to praise the Prime Minister on things well done, such as on Brexit so far since the election. However, there are big issues where I have been critical. Apart from HS2, the decision to proceed with the Chinese firm Huawei on our 5G network flies in the face of common sense. Our main security partners in the Five Eyes network are furious with us. The Coronavirus crisis has clearly already taught us that we must be much more self-dependent on critical infrastructure and key supplies. Once this crisis is over there needs to be some serious debate about our relationship with China. We know that we can still have an impact on public opinion and ensure positive change. Thank you for your continuing support.Best Wishes,?Nigel FarageLeader of The Brexit Party

This is not a bail out for you.
You run a business without provisions for risk and uncertainties - a problem arises then it folds
The Govt is not the bailout

[essentialinvestor] 02/4/2020 16:41

chav, there has to be some quality control here, unless HMG want to fully underwrite
the loans.

Wonder if the landscape for employee contracts will now change to factor in such events...employers will not want to be burdened with financial responsibilites and will Coronavirus question appear on application forms on financial products aka mortgages, loans, life policy, credit cards, etc etc...

[aljm] 02/4/2020 16:37

pretty certain once this is all over , the market will make some sort of recovery , will LLOY go back to 60p, probably not, well not immediately, will you see a decent profit from where we are now ? probably, thinking 45-50p should be pretty straight forward, gonna be down to what sentiment is as to where these go,

[chavitravi2] 02/4/2020 16:36

What I meant was that the Government have have put forward this money to keep good companies afloat and people in work when this is over. They reason correctly it's cheaper in the long run to help in the short run. Some banks are withholding this money for the purposes it was ment for, I.e cheap loans and instead putting them on high interest loans that will cripple them. Businesses and people put out of work will remember them. And rightly so. Just the same as cornershops who ripped off people.

[k38] 02/4/2020 16:36

The share price over react to the dividends.. the real bottom for me is 32p and that's why react like this, yo-yo today.

Let's not forget where it all started...Bradford and Bingley, our money was stolen from us there!

[optomistic] 02/4/2020 16:29

I think that RBS are still deep in debt to the government not sure about BOS?

[alphorn] 02/4/2020 16:27

Yes, there will be good news for the share price IMO in a few weeks. 1) End of lockdown announced 2) Transitional period extended.

I don't know what the share price will be when these events might take place but both IMO will lift the share price (Put your emotions to one side as the posts above have laid out).

Optimistic
The debt was in respect of Halifax BANK OF SCOTLAND just as ROYAL BANK OF SCOTLAND were bailed out - NOT LLOYS.
Says a lot for Scotland ???????????????

[optomistic] 02/4/2020 16:14

Lloyds repaid the debt to the government...in full at 72p a share.

[chavitravi2] 02/4/2020 16:09

The media right now are seeing this as the greedy fleecing the needy. Some are giving banks a bad name after the tax payer helping them out for so long.
