very naughty Belial ! I wondered if had the BNP site gone down again going by some of the comments :chuckle - as people have said you have to check which century it is . Best Comment in The Guardian Comment is Free was '" a collision between a 70's union and Jamaican Plantation Management " - not sure if it was the 1700's or 1800's and before or after the American Civil War :chuckle

I'm really struggling to find any good reason to support strike action.

I read from your lengthy "post" that your posties are "concerned about the service". I see you are most concerned about your own welfare, future, pay, pension etc etc.

This is not in itself bad.........but please, don't try to involve me, the British public in your death throes.

I've worked for myself for over 25 years. I guess I've had 5-10 days sick in that time. I had cancer, chemo and an operation, I got £9 a week from the government. I had however the sense to pay into a private fund from the outset. I'm self-reliant and would not inconvenience MY customers for the sake of "service". Be honest guys, you are after better wages, better conditions, less work. You are NOT intent on providing a better service for your customers.

Modernisation is needed in all industries. The Royal Mail has a proud heritage in technological innovation. Hell, the first real computer was built by a P.O. chap - Flowers was his name I believe. If you don't accept modernisation and efficiency you will die as a company.

This strike does NOT have my support.

there is NO modernization or efficiency - it's just corporate spin for slash and burn and a worsening service . I'm afraid your post appears to be smug , arrogant , sanctimonious and self satisfied and unable to deal with any criticism of RM management / HMG judging by the amount of insults and petty prejudices .

As for dying - take a look at Messrs Crozier , Leighton , Toime , Higson , McCarthy , Millidge et all - successive governments that were quite happy to use RM as a cash cow , failed to invest , failed privatizations by Major & The Lord of Darkness himself ; trying to run RM to the knackers yard .

and they wonder why they get answered in such a manner . Many sound like saloon bar bores stuck in a 80's time warp . :crazy: :roll: with their shocking generalizations , ignorance , assumptions no doubt straight from gutter rags , insults and petty prejudices . :crazy: :crazy:

I'm sorry but a dog tends to bite back if hit or kicked :roll: .

Court case is private, I just informed you I was taking action.

I think work or leave..plenty of us don't have any choice! I like to support RM...but being pragmatic they want things the rest of us can't expect to have any more..that's life and each postie always has a choice....do something else if the job and pay doesn't suit you. There are no guarantees for life.

Do we need Thatcher back to kick the unions to where they should be, in the gutter :Very Happy

Bloody hell Matt,it would be a hard job,I think she's 80 and is not keeping too well,leave the poor old dear to enjoy her retirement.

But are you sure the court case is private? after all dont you subscribe to the view that not only does justice need to be done,but justice needs to be seen to be done?
Anyway Im away for a cuppa,I'll toast your good health,best wishes .
