What will Happen to RBS and Lloyds?
With RBS and Lloyds continuing to cut job and restructure the business, along with the fact their share prices is lower than when the government bailed them out, what do you think will happen to them in the near future?

They'll be hugely successful and pay back all the money they owe us.

They will be merged with the aim to build a massive airport serving London based in the outer Hebrides.

Re: What will Happen to RBS and Lloyds?
Rupert Murdoch will buy them and the Royal Mint.
Virgin Money will only be allowed to issue certain denominations of currency to try an encourage people to open Murdoch accounts.
Virgin will have faster technology that actually predicts when you'll need money and deliver it direct to your pocket (Fair usage policy applies)

Re: What will Happen to RBS and Lloyds?
RBS still has:
2,300+ branches in Great Britain
Several Private Banks
(Adam and Company, Child & Co, Drummonds Bank, Coutts & Co)
240 branches in Norhern Ireland and Ireland
1,500 branches in America
A large Investment bank division
I am sure HSBC and other bank would be interested, since RBS is only worth £14.3 billion

There's a good reason why it's only worth that amount. Along with others it's a zombie. House prices are being propped up as much as possible to avoid the zombies keeling over completely.

Re: What will Happen to RBS and Lloyds?
Re bad assets, you are confusing RBS with Northern Rock.

What the government should do is fully take control of RBS and Lloyds and then sell of the good assets to rival banks and thr remaining assets would be transfered to the government's "bad bank"
