My facebook pages are family only and I have two twitter accounts one my personal linked to my facebook acc but accessible - I don't put anything on there that would interest IB unless they are into what my family are doing. My other one is linked to my topical blog which is completely annonomous and the domain for my blog is security hidden for all personal details so they would need a court order to access the info to locate me. I have not hidden this blog it is actively available and searchable through google. There is is nothing personal that hasn't already been written or said in public domain already, and I'm open and frank about many things not just RM. IB could learn a few things maybe but not about me!

If they found my Facebook page all they'd find are the links to my favourite porn pages and all those dubious pictures of me and dvb..................................but I class those as a bit of advertising for our 'web services' :nervous

The public have a right to expect the safety of their valuables is top priority .
It seems though that its more important to make sure nobody calls Adam a madam,
Than to look for for credit card scamming gangs in mail centres.

God forbid they may even use your posts against you... :whistle

Even GCHQ is limited by British law as to they can do.
Such information can only be used for National and International security issues, certain Criminal and Financial activities but not personal vendetta or employment issues.

Something IB are hopefully aware, in their RM activities, in as far as I am aware IBs do not have Police powers, they cannot arrest you or enter your homes, Vehicles or property without your permission or a Court order.

I should think the IB have enough to do with the current levels of fraud and theft than worry about a load of disaffected staff posting on here.
Read these sites all day long just to find out that posties ain't happy? :roll: Sounds more like the Conspiracy Theorist's inherent and universal belief that Big Brother's watching you....

CWU Derbyshire issued a warning on FB stating that seven staff had been suspended at Nottingham MC for " inflammatory posts " & " personal attacks " on FB .

I agree the IB would be better suited dealing with fraud & theft . As for apparent paranoia , it's possibly more of a case of who is calling whom paranoid :hmmmm . " Coincidentally " these pro CWU FB groups do have a lot of members & posts are in the public domain .

IMHO Adam Crozier is a fine leader who is worth every penny of his £3 million salary , I believe he has no ulterior motives whatsoever and has RM's best interests at heart ;liar ;liar . RM's Senior Management are a fine body of men ;liar :chuckle . I also believe that Peter Mandelson should take over from Gordon Brown who incidentally has done a fine job as PM & Chancellor , as New Labour Leader . New Labour will win the next general election as the great British Public will see that Peter is of explemplary character ;liar ;liar .

I'm sure DGP leads a very puritan and christian life , a devoutly religious person that goes to church every sunday .

DV publicly vigorously campaigns against the menace of Internet Pornography , Drink & Drugs , once even emailing " Ask Allan " re Postman Omar that he encountered doing research , stating it was bringing RM into disrepute and Postman Omar had corrupted that poor innocent , shy and conscientious receptionist on that walk . He also complained that it was the most filthy and depraved rubbish , he'd watched six times over in his life .

He also has numerous applications on his PC to avoid accidental visits to such dubious sites .

He can often be seen off duty singing hymns , playing the tambourine and the guitar in his locality doing " The Lord's work " .

The recent allegations of indecent exposure made against DGP are totally baseless and without foundation . I also regard further allegations of stealing ladies underwear from washing lines & secret cross dressing whilst in the employ of RM as mere idle gossip and tittle tattle .
