Well Reuters are reporting the Government have refused to step in should the banks not agree to new terms. If that happens I believe the administrators will he called in before the end of the month.
That said, part of me thinks there will be a u-turn. The political left will no doubt seize on job losses, pensions implications and impacts on infrastructure and already struggling services. The government isn’t in such a strong position either in Parliament or amongst the electorate it can be seen to be antagonising core voters when the bankers were bailed out. I know the bank bailout was under Broon’s watch, but they’ll use a lack of compassion for ordinary folk as a stick. I don’t think this is quite over just yet.
