Yay another bail out! How kind of Lloyd's to only want to offload 250 billion to the tax payer. I wonder if they will get the same deal as RBS got on their 350 billion? In Case you don't know about the RBS deal, they pay for the first 6% loss on the 350 billion, the tax payer picks up the tab for the rest if it's more then 6% :eek:

Have you not heard of the banks master plan? They are going to charter an airplane and fly all the taxpayers money over to Vegas, and then bet it all on green. If they win they're all going to get massive bonuses. If they don't they're flying back to the UK with an even larger begging bowl.0 -
it was just such games that got them into the present mess in the first place.MrFonzerelli wrote: »Have you not heard of the banks master plan?

I'd like the Olympic Delivery Authority to explain how Lloyds can still be the "first level" sponsor of the 2012 Olympics - practically speaking, all Lloyds' money is our money, so they are not sponsoring the Olympics, we are. And we can't afford it, what with our national borrowing being already equal to a year's GDP.YouGov: £50 and £50 and £5 Amazon voucher received;
PPI successfully reclaimed: £7,575.32 (Lloyds TSB plc); £3,803.52 (Egg card); £3,109.88 (Egg loans)0
