That meeting - part 3

Regular readers will remember my piece from a couple of weeks ago about The Times follow up to my original story from last year about who attended a British Bankers Association board meeting on April 2016, 2008 and what was discussed. In case you don't, here are the links:

Well, another meeting has been brought to my attention that is likely to raise further questions about who knew what about problems with Libor at the beginning of the financial crisis.

Tucked away in the legal documents presented to the commercial court at the Wingate Associates (the property investor) against Lloyds hearing last month are details of a meeting between a bunch of top bankers, including a senior Lloyds director, and the Bank of England / BBA on April 25, 2008.

This time, Lloyds retail director Helen Weir (now chief financial officer at Marks & Spencer) was allegedly present for Lloyds at the April 25, 2008 meeting. According to the legal documents, the substance of the meeting appears to be much the same as the April 16 meeting i.e. there is something up with Libor.

Minutes of the meeting reference "discrepancies between dollar Libors and the rates at which panel banks are achieving dollar funding". The papers also allege there was an instruction given at the meeting by the Bank of England to "play Libor very straight".

Er, what's going on here?

I asked a Lloyds spokesperson and this is what he said:

“Our statement of 28 July 2014 still stands. That statement made clear that the Group condemned the actions of the individuals responsible for the conduct in question, which it regarded as totally unacceptable and unrepresentative of the cultural changes that the Group has implemented and that these actions were not known about or condoned by the senior management of the Group at that time.”

Last week, I contacted a spokesperson for Marks & Spencer to give Helen Weir an opportunity to comment. Marks & Spencer declined to comment.

  1. My life became devastated when my husband sent me packing, after 8 years that we have been together. I was lost and helpless after trying so many ways to make my husband take me back. One day at work, i was absent minded not knowing that my boss was calling me, so he sat and asked me what its was all about i told him and he smiled and said that it was not a problem. I never understand what he meant by it wasn't a problem getting my husband back, he said he used a spell to get his wife back when she left him for another man and now they are together till date and at first i was shocked hearing such thing from my boss. He gave me an email address of the great spell caster who helped him get his wife back, i never believed this would work but i had no choice that to get in contact with the spell caster which i did, and he requested for my information and that of my husband to enable him cast the spell and i sent him the details, but after two days, my mom called me that my husband came pleading that he wants me back, i never believed it because it was just like a dream and i had to rush down to my mothers place and to my greatest surprise, my husband was kneeling before me pleading for forgiveness that he wants me and the kid back home, then i gave Happy a call regarding sudden change of my husband and he made it clear to me that my husband will love me till the end of the world, that he will never leave my sight. Now me and my husband is back together again and has started doing pleasant things he hasn't done before, he makes me happy and do what he is suppose to do as a man without nagging.

  6. Hi everyone!
    I'm so excited my husband is back after he have left me for another woman.
    My husband and I have been married for about 7 yrs now. We were happily married with two kids, a boy and a girl. 3 months ago, I started to notice some strange behavior from him and a few weeks later I found out that my husband is seeing someone. He started coming home late from work, he hardly care about me or the kids anymore, Sometimes he goes out and doesn't even come back home for about 2-3 days. I did all I could to rectify this problem but all to no avail. I became very worried and needed help. As I was browsing through the internet one day, I came across a website that suggested that Dr Unity can help solve marital problems, restore broken relationships and so on. So, I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and and told him my problems and he told me what to do and i did it and he did a spell for me. 24 hours later, my husband came to me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promise never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. I and my family are living together happily again.. All thanks to Dr Unity . If you need a spell caster that can cast a spell that truly works, I suggest you contact him. He will not disappoint you. This is his E-mail: Unityspelltemple@gmail.com or call him on: +2348072370762. I am Donna Murray by name and i reside here in Silver Springs Florida.
