Barclays released an open letter this morn from the Chief Exec saying year-on-year profits to be released in early Feb will still be strong, despite 8bn of investment losses, and they don't need any the government liquidity cash (but will use the investment insurance scheme.

Clearly investors saw this as a show of strength, rather than protesting too much ๐Ÿ˜‰

Nothing to do with our middle eastern friends taking 65% control of Barclays if they end up having to request further assistance from outside? So, after the 6 month deadline how long before John Varley leaves?
