simple my friend, the pension makes the company bankrupt ,hence the pension proposals to reduce the deficits making it more attractive to private stakeholders,namely the downstream access fat cats who are getting there mail delivered by us on the cheap.gathering themselves a big pot of money ready to reinvest . great isnt it they cant lose, it was our work,then it was opened up to the very people who are eventually going to share the ownership, insider dealing or what, scandle

remember gordon,this is a labour government. and as such should conduct itself with values and honesty ,and in the interests of the people, this is a public service,somethings in life are not just about profit and more money, time for you to show some integrity.

Fine words but this is NEW labour and integrity isnt a word that goes with them, and honesty even less. Plus Gordon is a bit skint right now so will be glad to get RM off his hands.

I don't believe I have ever agreed with anything that night tonic has ever posted. Sadly this is the first.

Yep. The majority of the great British public want just one Postal Service, that is Royal Mail. We dont want competiton. Royal Mail can make a nice profit but only if it is a Monopoly/near- Monopoly, otherwise how else is it gunna subsidise the USO?

After hearing that RM made a nice profit in the 9 months compared to the previous 12 month period, i was astonished quite frankly, Leighton & Crozier should be issued with their P45s without delay.
