Outrage over £125m bonuses for staff at UK’s ‘failing’ financial watchdog

Financial Conduct Authority accused of failures ‘from top to bottom’ after a string of scandals

Britain’s financial regulator, accused of failing from “top to bottom” after a string of scandals, has paid out bonuses of more than £125m to its staff since 2016, the Observer can reveal.

Campaigners said the payouts at the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) were an “absolute insult” to savers who had lost their life savings because of the regulator’s systemic failings.

The FCA boss Nikhil Rathi is now proposing to scrap the bonuses after two independent reviews found the regulator had acted too slowly to protect consumers. He said the payouts had “not been effective at driving individual or collective performance”.

Usual weekend update
I started this fantasy portfolio in 2016 to challenge various poster's perception that Lloy is 'the worst share ever', 'better else where' or a 'dire share',
On the 8th Oct 2016 I invited WL/Newchurch to choose an alternative ftse 100 company, so I could run a comparison

On 8th Oct 2016 - 1000 quid bought 206 BP. shares & 1905 Lloy shares
Today's value
BP. 206 @ 354 = 729
Lloy 1905 @ 46.9 = 893

In April 2017 Invest4life suggested I add Glencore -
On 22-4-17 - 1000 quid bought 335 Glen shares & 1553 Lloy shares

Lloy 1553 @ 46.9 = 728

In July 2017 Nucky suggested I add RBS/Natwest -
On 12-7-17 1000 quid bought 384 Nwg & 1512 Lloy

In July 2017 Utrickytrees asked that I add BARC -
On 30-7-17 1000 quid bought 479 Barc & 1504 Lloy
Today's value
Barc 479 @ 195 = 934
Lloy 1504 @ 46.9 = 705

In Sept 2018 Motley Fool recommended Diageo over Lloyds
On 9-9-18 1000 quid bought 37.3 DGE & 1704 Lloy
DGE 37.3 @ 3544 = £1322
Lloy 1704 @ 46.9 = £799

In April 2020 Theosus asked that I add Circassia -
On 14-4-20 £1000 bought 3891 CIR & 3058 Lloy
CIR 3891 @ 45.9 = £1786
Lloy 3058 @ 46.9 = £1434

In April 2020 TheBoard asked that I add RollsRoyce -
On 25-4-20 £1000 bought 322 RR. & 3367 Lloy
Today's value
RR. post 10for3RI 1073 @ 144 = £1544
Lloy 3367 @ 46.9 = £1579

This week's observation - Markets - all fantasy stocks up, Covid Infections up & down - hospital cases & deaths remain low-ish/steady, Further travel restriction lifted, UC £20 uplift ends, Conservative party conference, FB outage, Petrol panic replaced by pig panic, fuel costs rise, Malaria vaccine approved, Lloy continues to withhold shareholder funds

A very basic comparison that does not include divi yield, IMO those still suggesting Lloy is 'the worst share ever' or a 'dire share' seriously need to examine their concept of investing.

Real deal
30-3-20 I bought 15,000 Lloy @ 33.606 = £5040
Current value -
LLoy 15000 @ 46.9 = £7035 = +~40% over ~19 months

C'mon Mr Nunn - all we need is a little RNS

8 ÷ 2(2+2)=Imbued

The market gets imbued, not the SP

Hardup
"What makes you think SP will retrace in the coming weeks to close the 44p gap?"
Recent history - it's close & recent - easy to dip down - also need Barc to close gap at 170 for the same reasons - wonder what might happen to cause the dip?

Azzurri
Golden cross seems to be getting close on LYG

WW - Based on what we've been told so far, I have to say a quarterly or special before Xmas seems unlikely, all down to Mr Nunn now, maybe he would like to surprise the market at Q3?

Grrr
Didn't close the 44p gap - guess means we'll be back down here again in coming days or weeks

C'mon - lets get that 44p gap closed

Stagecoach -
I was wondering if anyone knew any facts -

My guess, he may have been referring to the repayment of the Gov backed rescue loans etc, in that respect the banks will be working on behalf of the Gov, and I trust fairly rewarded,

Of course, if there were to be any hike in bank taxation that would apply fairly across all banking, can't imagine the Gov being able to 'target' the 'Cash cow' that is Lloy

Anyone know why the PM ref banks regarding Gov. income?

Buybacks already approved by shareholders - just need a little RNS to kick it off
