I remember interviews a year or so ago where commentators confidently predicted that bank share prices were sure to rise. They argued politicians should hold off selling the stake we all took on with the bailouts during the financial crisis. But the sad reality is that taxpayers have now lost even more money and are on the hook for massive fines that British banks have been incurring in the United States. Politicians need to get our money out as soon as possible. Taxpayers can make up their own minds whether they want to invest in bank stocks. I don’t think I would be at the front of the queue.
