I'm watching it now. It's the usual b******* They think by regurgitating all the usual figures about mail being down that proves everything.

I have to say I was disappointed nay shocked, I agreed with even 1 sentence of a Conservative MP - Mind you the bit I agreed with was when he called the previous management of RM, and he made sure everyone knew he meant HQ level, a bunch of Bully Boys who were hard to communicate with.

That conservative clone of mad maggie (Anna Mary Soubry) thinks that because only 2 posties came from Beeston today that they all support privatisation. No one wrote to her fighting privatisation apparently - will Beeston Posties please correct her opinion.

One of the speakers (I think it was John Denham) reckoned the valuation of Royal Mail would be about £700,000. So our 10% of that would be £70,000, divided across 155,000 employees....And you thought the ColleagueShares were a joke.

The time has come to stop turning the other cheek, time to stop shaking our heads in bitter dismay, time to stop mumbling our angry words.

Vote taken at division:

AYES - 321
NOES - 238

So looks as if the Postal Services Bill will progress further.

Yes
The Division List

The Division List records the way in which Members voted and is usually available to the public the following day in Hansard and on the Parliament website.
I will check Thursday and post it if I can.

Anna Soubry has recieved hundreds of signatures from local petitioning and has refused to talk to us.She knows the kind of support we've got from her constituents and the postal workers in Beeston.
If she wants to stand in parliament and talk bullsh*t about everything's rosy back at the ranch; she knows what kind of backlash she's getting from her public.
Another local MP who had a small margin refused to talk to us until they recieved five hundred KTPP on their doormat and a constant flow still going through.Now they want to talk.
Keep up the pressure!!!!
All this and they pay us too!
