I've just asked all candidates for the deputy leadership the following questions.
Will you publically commit to changing the current requlatory shackles that Postcom have inflicted upon Royal Mail thereby ensuring a level playing field in the mail delivery industry?
Will you also publically commit to maintaining complete public ownership of Royal Mail (stopping Leighton & Crozier's privatisation goals)?
Will you also publically commit to raising the national minimum wage from it's current poverty levels (NAW >£12 per hour - NMW <£5.50 per hour)?
If the answers are no how do you expect me to believe that you deserve the Deputy Leadership of the Party ?
I will find it interesting if any of them will respond (even more interesting if any of them will make a commitment).
I'll let you all know what response I get (if any)
Because they're all basically Blairites apart from Cruddas - who claims to be a working class man of the people, yet has a £500k second home in holland park, which he claims expenses for, and sends his kid to a selective school in the area.
Cruddas kid is going to the same school they went to before he was a MP. Since when does having a second home stop you from being a left wing MP. It is his policies that we should be looking at not bank balance, unless you are an anarchist.

A selective school and a £500k second home in Holland park which he claims expences for no less.

The results due soon. None of them are right for the job. God forbid if Johnson gets it, the man has designs on becoming prime minister. Anyway, none of them will be deputy PM. That jobs going to Jack Straw
Brown reported to have said that the link with the unions to be watered down. Block vote to cease as well as ability to put forward motions to labour conference. Need to stop thinking that labour is looking after the working class. Centralist politics ( 2 parties just like USA ) is where Brown and New Labour want to take the counrty, this was borne out of the fact that Lib Dems asked to serve in cabinet. As for Harman, was'nt good enough first time in cabinet, got sacked, all of a sudden deputy leader. Johnson foiled in his attempt of becoming Brown's (inside tade union man) poodle. Have any of these come out and said they are on our side or is it above them to support workers who put them there. I have to stop now to much ranting puts the blood pressure up!
Did anything come of this,anybody heard anything?
Shall i unstick this now?

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been. My BFF Clash The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
