guys , take time out and sign this, little as it is it may make a difference.
Peter Mandelson has suggested that there is no alternative to his part-privatisation plan for Royal Mail. His spin rests on a report by a Government boffin.
The report told Mandelson what he wanted to hear. But the evidence didn't back up its conclusions. It didn't compare like with like. The foreign companies the report cited make their profit by providing a poorer service, lower wages and charging higher prices.
This isn't what we want for our Royal Mail. We don't have the Government's army of spin doctors - but we do have you. Sign our petition and send the Government a message that you want to keep the post public.

The campaign group Compass have published a damning expose of the Government's report. They have shown that the claims used to support the privatisation plan are flawed.
Of course, the Royal Mail does need reform. But it needs to be modernised, not privatised.
We can stop that happening by working together - please sign the petition now.

Let's not forget that this Labour Government promised to keep the post public in their own election manifesto.
Thousands of people have already signed our petition. Please join them - and make sure that we keep the Royal Mail as the public service we need and deserve.
