American's would much rather bank and do with business with the American banks then a foreign bank and therefore it's very hard to build a successful footing.

Our dividends which are now being lent back out to prop up the economy and businesses and we will get nothing back in return. Yet the banks will profit from this for sure.

I did not say scrap entirely, there is no need for delivering letters 6 days a week.

Heres something for you to read

Royal Mail has announced the results of a strike ballot among CWU members. CWU members voted 94.5% in favour of industrial action, with one of two separate ballots at Parcelforce Worldwide also going in favour of industrial action.

and that was only in March of this year.

Before Christmas strikes were planned by unions where RM had to go to court to block it

Thanks...redundancies I feel are inevitable in any organisation. Does it not make sense to you RM should scrap letter deliveries 6 days a week considering letter volumes have been declining and will continue to do so.

What are your views on the unions.I think they have destroyed the shareholders value in the company personally. They only ever seem to want to encourage strikes and not really work proactively with RM to modernise efficiencies in the company

Would a takeover be good for RMG?

What would happen to existing shareholders in the event of a full takeover?

Anyone care to comment please

Just goes to show Barc have no interest towards it's shareholders. All the banks are well capitalised since the financial crash. PRA and the Government want the encourage the banks to lend, early indications of this seem to be quite the opposite. Most of the banks have pulled alot mortgages and are now only willing to lend if you a very large deposit, 40%. It was said the banks need to return the favour for being bailed out previously, fair enough for lloyds and rbs, Barclays was not bailed out by UK taxpayers, so why on earth did they not pay the dividend.

I would love Ed Bransom to come in buy up a majority stake in Barc. That would sort out the incompetent board.

Perfect opportunity for barc to be taken over and proper management team in place. Management should have suspended these shares and not allow or it to fall this low. f***ing joke

No announcement as of yet...Barc should suspend divi not cancel it

Since the financial crash in 2008, the banks were told to build up cash reserves in the event of another crash, and hence the stress tests in which all banks did pass. I hope it does not come to another banking bailout or nationalisation of banks. This is my pension pot and me to have a fair few of these shares.

A number of companies have pulled dividends. Does anyone feel Barclay's will?

Americans suspended trading when the shares were crashing, why the F can't the UK, its a joke

Barclays is first among the banks to present its annual results next week, as lenders hope to firmly put PPI behind them.

Analysts expect profit before tax to reach £6.048 billion at Barclays in the 2019 financial year when it reports on Thursday, up from £5.7 billion a year before, according to consensus figures compiled by the bank.

It's nice to read some positive news on Barc for a change

ZURICH/FRANKFURT, Nov 21 (Reuters) - Private equity group Warburg Pincus is working with Goldman Sachs and Barclays on the planned 2020 sale or initial public offering of Swiss banking software company Avaloq.

Nov 20 (Reuters) - Canada's Teck Resources Ltd has hired Barclays to sell all of its 80% stake in its Zafranal copper asset in Peru.
