Santander Bank - Shareholders

Many people will own Santander shares as a result of the take-over of Abbey National some years ago. So today's news that Santander has been leaned on to take over the failing Popular Bank is not good news.


This enforced take-over has come about as a result of a directive from Brussels (under their SRB policy) as a means of avoiding a state bailout. Even though this is a problem with a Spanish bank, the govt there cannot step in financially because of the EU. This is very similar to Lloyds being leaned on by Gordon Brown to take over HBOS and as we all know it put Lloyds under govt control in the end.


Existing shareholders of Santander will be faced with a cash call to the tune of ?6.1 Bn. More may needed to be raised later.


Just shows how all-pervading Brussels control can be. I sold my A.N. shares years ago so I just wish remaining Santander share owners in the UK the best of luck.

      I’ve asked them where they get their bread from, or if they bake it, and they won’t answer. Which is disappointing

      I’ve been ordering from Butter & Crust now for 5+ years and it’s a brilliant service. The bread is fantastic as are the selection of pastries, milk & butter. The apple juice is also incredible and you can change your subscription to what suits you - I opt for every other week ☺️  I have a voucher if anyone wants to try, you get £10 off your next order with: HANNAHM_2

      Yes, thanks, that's true, the previous information on here might be out of date even if I could find it. I was hoping someone on here might have up to date info. I will phone them in the morning.  I had a previous thread on here about the Oxfam book shop but for various reasons I haven't been able to get stuff down there, and now I just want it out of the way.

      Best to call them. What might have been the case last week may not be now. There's also Oxfam book shop in HH
