That's another big mistake Brown made - he should have 'nationalised' ALL the banks without compensation, so that any profits made after they recovered could be re-invested in the country's infrastructure and the NHS.

You bail the banks out and people moan.You sell them and get the money back and people moan.
You offer the public a chance to own shares and people moan.
There's just no pleasing some people.
I think I might buy some more Lloyds shares. I've almost doubled my money on the last lot I bought.

The Conservatives are only trying to make the best of a bad job which was not of their making. The sooner we get shut of it the better for the taxpayer even if in means a loss. Blame the people who made the mess not the ones trying to clear it up.There is an old saying in business, first loss is best, meaning when things go belly up get out early. It would have been appropriate in this case.
Poor old Joe doesn't know what he wants one minute he is calling for nationalisation the next complaining when they're sold off.

I most assuredly know what I want and that is not for some scumbag tory to buy shares from the bank at knock-down prices and then make a huge 'killing' when they're sold off again some days later. Better that Osborne holds onto those shares until the value of them matches the price 'we' paid for them and then sell them on the open market. Alternatively hold onto them (all) thus 'nationalising the bank in its entirety permanently.
