And we are doing the right thing to make sure that for the future as we move into a full recovery we will invest and grow within sustainable public finances - cutting costs where we can, ensuring efficiency where it's needed, agreeing realistic public sector pay settlements throughout, selling off the unproductive assets we don't need to pay for the services we do need.

So what investor would buy an unproductive asset? Let me guess, TNT? I bet which ever investor buys RM will be making a profit from it.

It was never called off in the first place just postponed, due to the current financial climate, our so called 'shares' won't be worth a penny until we at least part-privatised, this has always been their goal :nervous

and since when has Royal Mail been "unproductive"?
He might have been referring to some other institution, the Cabinet, CPS, NHS, MOD, DVLA, the list is endless :crazy:

Crozier and co think we are unproductive and the government belive everything Crozier and co tell them.

The fact GB has not said what the assets are is worrying me.

Darling wants British Waterways , The Land Registry , The Met Office , + The Royal Mint sold off , they also want MOD training " outsourced " . It'll cost more under PFI to buy them back but this is what you'd expect with a accounting trick .
