BT still a festering turd of an investment with or without Drahi, pity its not an outright takeover approach. BT can never do any good as its a giant pension liability with a telecoms attached and weak management who have allowed profits to be regulated away from the companies owners, the shareholders. A dog even by ftse 100 standards. (Ftse 100 at dec 1999 level and since that time sterling has lost 40 pc against both usd and euro. Terminal ).

The share price is where it was 5 years ago (and half what it was 10 years ago) and you think thats good management?? US banks are not hindered in the same way by over regulation as UK banks to answer your question. As for a democratic vote, so what, it doesnt make it the right one, most people are poor self harming and thick, they shouldnt be allowed to vote moronic knuckle draggers, foreign investors, they have deserted U.K. stocks because sterling has tanked 11 years straight against both the USD and Euro because the U.K. is a political basket case and the ftse 100 is full of capital destructive dross with declining biz models. Long live Elliot and Cervian, come in break it up and sell it all off and invest the nice profits in the S&P growth haha.

Why would you want to reinvest in crap like aviva? Take your dividends out and get it into S&P growth stocks. Which do you think will be worth more in five years, Aviva or Amazon??

“ europhiles “....another self harming brexit ******. The UK is the country that has been in near constant lockdown for a year, ( not europe) it has the worst death and infection rates and too stupid to block flights from India a month ago before the then cancelled Modi trade visit, wheezing fat Boris Bunter a total moron and the cause of the ongoing U.K. basket case covid mess. Iag is a third smaller than it was, it is a pension deficit with an airline attached, a debt junky facing destroyed long haul and you now have twice the shares in issue and no chance of of a dividend becos of the government loans. They will need to raise more capital before year end. If you think a steaming pos like this is a worthwhile investment when you could have your money in amazon or apple on a better exchange in a better currency, then you deserve the kicking you are going to get.

GSK need Paul Singer at Elliot to break it up, only way value will appear. All this dividend dross is capital destructive, in 1998 Aviva was 12.28, its now 4 quid, buy growth and ex UK every time if you want to make money. Ftse 100 like U.K. in general, best days LONG GONE.

These are a lot more likely to head back to the mid threes unless management comes out very quickly with a roadmap for getting cash back to the long suffering shareholders of this utter pile of **** of a share, 8 quid in about 2005/06 to under 4 now, capital destruction on ftse 100 pre and post brexit par excellence. Stick to buying US growth, U.K. and europe going nowhere since 2009, pitiful.

Total pile of capital destructive sxxt, a rubbish company since 2000 like most of the dog index of the world brexit covid basket case UK ftse 350. Forget the poxy dividend this is a share that was over 8 quid 10 years ago. Terminal rubbish. Stick to investing in the USA S&P.

Yeah yeah yeah, doubled your money, what so you now have about 200 quid? On another point aside from shixxy aviva, is Boris Johnson THE worst UK PM of all time...I think the answer is yes, come back Theresa hahahaha

Aviva, 8 quid to three in ten years, what a chronic capital destructive share, dire, terminal, like brexit britain, stick to US Growth and EM Growth and forget this cxxp, chasing sporadic dividends.

@ HI

...I do own Tesla thanks, average in 2.80 so 100 pc profit.

This isnt “ a proper business “ it has lost more than HALF its value in less than ten years, terminal CAPITAL destruction. It is like the rest of the ftse, credit junkie poorly performing poorly managed dross in an index no foreign money wants to buy into as sterling is a depreciating asset thanks to the country being a brexit political self harming basket case.

Dire, dump out of these into decent US growth stocks, U.K. is doomed and Aviva along with it, if you must chase income buy L&G. Amanda Blanc another useless old bag.

...great news on Biden, Republic of Ire heritage, totally anti brexit. Poor old Boris and the gammons will be lucky to get any thing much deal wise from USA now, trying to unpick a 40 year trade agreement we helped build and prosper from always a disaster. I sold my property biz 2015, what a stroke, have made my pile can now just watch you muppets going down the drain from sunny P. Banus hahahah. A tip, buy the S&P, UK toast hahaha.

...and thats why no sensible countries have referendums, so the knuckle dragging great unwashed like yourself cannot drag the rest into a trashed currency/trashed stock market/trashed inward investment scenario and end up wth PM’s like wheezing Boris and Dominic scummings running our downward spiral, you reap what you sow. . Brexit an impoverishing disaster, enjoy idiots.

You can keep trying to put lipstick on this pig but it’s still a pig, my advice, as I said when these were 15pc higher, dump and put into L&G, maybe M&G and Phoenix too if you are income seekers. Aviva is terminal, poorly managed, capital destructive and pathetic dividend, now concentrating on U.K. and ireland, why? All the growth is in Asia,. U.K. a brexit covid self harming basket case heading for a 1970’s style IMF bailout. Avoid all this dividend cxxp and buy S&P growth, this jam tomorrow on a collapsed index like ftse (lost 15pc of its value in 5 years, pitiful) You reap what you sow and the people who voted for brexit now getting shafted, trashed currency and univestable index, pity they were allowed to drag the rest of us down with them, no sensible countries have referendums, terminal.
