They can be shut down for a few weeks - things could be put on hold. Not a key worker - unlike high street banks.Investment banks run the pension and insurance funds, keep the stock market going, and supply finance to big business. They are essential to the economy of the country
No, they can’t be shut for a few weeks! I really don’t think you understand how many things they are involved in - it isn’t just evil barrow boys trading shares on their own banks accounts!They can be shut down for a few weeks - things could be put on hold.

Unless you are citi group and put a huge "citi" logo on the top of your normally empty skyscraper above Lewisham shopping centre!
Partially but they updated the logo from those days!Isn’t it just still there from when it was a main office for them?
