Which FTSE 100/250 companies are trading at bargain prices and not likely to go bust?

Risk of nationalisation which tends not to work out well for private investors

Sorry nationalising BA rather than the whole of IAG

Thanks guys - theres some really interesting insights there.
Now youve given me some ideas about other companies to invest in (I will be keeping a beady I on Legal and General tomorrow. Having a dividend that actually pays will be nice!) what are your thoughts on IAG specifically? Surely they wouldnt go bust or be let to fail? Are there other examples of corporations that big that have gone bust? Im just looking for pros/cons of investing with them.
Thanks!

If people want to be repatriated from far flung places around the globe. Then a levy on all pssengers seems appropriate. Thomas Cook cost the UK taxpayer £186 million. Pales into insignificance with current crisis. 
Branson needs a bailout. While being a non resident tax payer. Could strengthen IAG if Virgin's wings are severely clipped. . 
The future holds all sorts of unknowns.
