Taxpayer-backed Lloyds axes 15,000 jobs in cost-cutting drive
No UK bank has ever shed so many jobs in corporate history
Banking giants HSBC say they're also axing 750 posts

Cull takes total job losses at bank to 40,000 since 2009
Majority of losses will be at managerial level



Not often news in the Daily Mail cheers me up.

Erk. Sasguru works at Lloyds?

That explains a hell of a lot.

No, but he's always boasting how all his neighbours are big bankers, as if this is supposed to make us warm to him even more.

Big what? A typo there by any chance?

More likely to be his neighbours that make THAT claim

Ha ha, yes it is all rather doom and gloom in it huh? Reading the daily mail makes me feel like a tree hugger. God knows how bad the writers exsistences must be if they're more pessemistic and annoyed with society than I .....

And the shares have shot up.

Yea, reminds me of how annoying it is when people wont listen.

I think it was back in late 2009 when bank share prices hit the floor and were literally going for pennies. Unfortunately, I had no spare cash at the time after a costly bill on the house renovation.

Advised family members to put all their savings in to buying shares. I even considered at the time getting a loan to buy some, wish I had. They bounced back quickly and some people got very rich off it.

Hope you have some shares MF .....

I bundled into Barclays shares at 45p in 2009. Bought £20k worth.

A few months ago they were £3.50 a share. A cool £140k ish sweet profit.

Pity I sold the bloody things for 54p a few days after I bought them!!!

So basically Lloyds take tax payers money, fire UK nationals, fill the place with Bob instead who pays little taxes and the bankers get a nice big bonus. What's not to like?

Ahhh Im sorry you sold them .....

Buying shares in banks is the safest thing anyone can do. The government will never ever let any big banks fold. Many banks have gone under, but something like HBOS crashing in to the wall would be disasterous ...

Im still kicking myself I didnt get a loan, sell my family or anything else to raise funds years ago .....
