"So EVEN if the share price was the same along with the divs being the same as they were PRE d.d inflation, then it still would not buy you anything like your investment then once did.
Hence it is a right, and surely almost an obligation by long term shareholders to tell it how it is, and not dress it up to pretend this share is anything other than it really is,. Which imo is a Gov buffer zone between the cash strapped Gov, and the growing masses of poor to continue to 'fund, bail out, keep rooves over unlucky, or undeserving heads, because now, since our country has been overfilled , that HMG know it can no longer afford to so so, but fortunately know a lot of 'hopeful' loyal, and deluded shareholders who 'can' and will, willing or not."
There seems to be an assumption in your comments that high inflation will be with us forever, notwithstanding a decade or more or low inflation. And when that returns, stocks like lloy will shine.
