To be furious with Lloyds online banking?

[Keyansier]

I logged onto my internet banking with Lloyds Bank and upon signing in was greeted with a message about The Queen passing away and giving solitude to Lloyds bank customers. Erm, does anyone else think that this is slightly WTF territory? How dare they assume their customers feelings? AIBU to think banks should not be giving out political messages like this? It's okay to say if they are sorry for someone dying, I'm not expecting them to be someone's pro-death, but AIBU to think they should stay out of giving what might be seen as provocative statements like this to people that may be against the idea of the Royal Family?

Lols. I don't think condolences at the death of the head of state can be termed "provocative".

Every website I’ve been on today has some sort of tribute to the Queen. Why are you singling Lloyds out to be the recipient of your fury?

I may have misread the words but the general message still applies.

Have you not been on the Internet much today OP? These messages are on EVERY. SINGLE. FUCKING. WEBSITE.

Is there a reason you singled out Lloyd's in particular? You could take your banking business elsewhere, but I think you'd be stuck trying to find a bank not displaying this message today.

Because I haven't logged onto every website you've been on today, and I bank with Lloyds. Do you really think that was an appropriate question?

See above.

You're being utterly ridiculous 😂

I shopped 9n Wilkes website today and wasn't the slightest bit offended that out of respect, their website us edged in black. I also was not offended by the email from M & S offering condolences of the death of our Queen. If nobody did anything to mark the passing of our monarch, would you not be more offended then?

Ok that's fine, I shall just not have any emotions or feelings about anything any more.

Rather that than a big ole rainbow/trans flag, which IS political.

So can we accept follow up threads when you inevitably encounter other tributes?

*expect

Furious is a bit of an overreaction. Things like that get an eye roll from me because they're so blatantly insincere.

You are looking to be offended

I only bank with Lloyd, so have no reason to visit other bank sites. Awaiting on follow-up threads on this subject will only be to your own disappointment.

Pretty much every company has this on websites, emails etc. why have you decided to single out Lloyds?

See above.

@Keyansier Ah I see. So it’s only banks that warrant your anger. Other businesses can express their condolences if they please. Thank you for explaining and saving me from disappointment.

Its a bank she is LITRALLY on the money, she is a major part of the main part if their business and yes all non deranged people care that an old lady died... so shut up ffs.

Do you know what solitude means? Suggest you try some.

well crawl out from under your rock on mars and come back down to earth and actually have so awareness.

Sshhhh yab a miserable 😩 person

Furious … really ??

It's not political, but I am getting a bit irritated by all the companies who have nothing to do with the royal family jumping on the bandwagon.

If the name of your company or organisation begins with "Royal", then fair enough. Otherwise stop virtue signalling.
