Default Royal Mail Privasited : Profits Up

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...executive.html


On SkyNews a New Labour MP
against Madeleson said - he was not even elected.

I hope the Unions do not Strike
that is nasty on the public that need their important mail.

On Radio 5 Live , just now
A New Labour MP said it is not just about the money
he said that inside the sorting area's can now be done better by automated machines,
of course that saves millions on staff costs.

So it looks like Strikes will happen
what a time to have them
typical of New Labour.


Amazon UK sets up other deals
to get their post out.
That is good of them.

I 'm sure Ch4 News at 7PM
will be good on this.

Privatisation is not the majic bullet that many polititions think it is..It inevitably results in mass unemployment and the tax payer paying for people who cannot re-skill or find jobs..Some saving that is......

If the post office needs modernisation then it should be done by the government not by some tin pot money greedy profit making private company with fat paid directors....

If we can give millions of tax payers money to greedy irresponsible bankers then we should at least look after our post office service and finance their modernisation too.......

New Labour is not new labour it is a clone of typical de-humanised Tory idiots.....

Yes New Labour will not Invest in the Royal Mail
even though they own it.

So they want 30% to go to a dutch firm that will make it more
modern,
12 years of Stinking New Labour
and they never helped enough on this.

Yes Private Mail can be safer/better on some things.


But on this Part Sell Off
It will split New Labour down the middle
and that will be good to see
as One Eyed Scottish Brown wants
total control.


And New Labour's Mandy
is Corrupt as hell.

I don't think there's really any need for a nationalised mail service particularly if it's wasting money, it's a service that can easily be run by the private sector imo

I am a five minute walk from the area's main sorting office. I work in an MP's constituency office... I have not yet had my post today and it's 2pm. If I have to collect something from the sorting office, the people who work there are surly and rude.

Sell them off, they're bloody useless.

There is a Strike Today in some places.



And due to the millions they are losing each year
they have to sell it off to keep it alive

Agree absolutely..........!!!! I wear contact lenses and get them supplied through post. But the box will not fit through my letter box so I had asked for them to be left in a small meter cupboard. But the postman forgot and took them back to the mail collection depot.

So now I have to make a detour from work find somewhere to park and pay for a ticket, walk to the collection depot and then take another ticket to get served , wait for about 45 mins before finally getting my package.Also the postal workers in the depot could not give a flying ***** about their customers.

They were rude and obnoxious to most customers, I was shocked to think they were employed in such a customer based service industry.

Sell them off, their days of insulting customers is surely coming to an end.

I don't disagree one bit that the post is now all over the place as to when you get it but we do still get a delivery every day and at really not too bad a cost either.

I still don't consider 60p for being as near sure as you can be that a letter or card will be there the next day after posting as being in any way too expensive.

Sell any of it off though and then see what the costs are likely to rise to, we have heard all this before that selling something off will be beneficial in the long run and it generally proves the very opposite is the case.

Yes but to be honest how much of what comes through the post is useful mail ? its probably 50% Bills, 40% Loan Applications and the rest from Charities begging for money.

Love that post Nedusa.

Sadly though the bills will still come through the door whoever is delivering the mail.
We actually gather up all the junk mail and then use any pre-paid enevelopes from other places we don't want mail from to send it off to them.

The mail I do send though, I want to be as confident as I can be that the cost is okay and that it will get there, I can unfortunately see both changing for the worse if any selling off is done.

Reform things in the Royal Mail by all means but I would hate to see any selling off of it,that's my line on this anyway.

Joey it has to Rise in price whatever way you went.


It has to go private
as it is losing such big money.


In this Day and Age - We can not afford
money going down the drain

Sorry I don't agree, it needs looking at again in my view and it likely will be too.
