Blimey! Do they allow you lot, north of the border, a vote?

Whatever next? Cameron will have to put a stop to that! I mean when did you last return a tory MP or two?

(Hmmm? Thinks, perhaps I'm living in the wrong part of the British Isles.) :hmmmm:

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Total of election material now at 16! :crazy: :arrrghhh .

Starting to wonder if we are gonna get paid for all of them,a few are independents one of whom works in the local supermarket and hasnt two pennies to rub together,theres only him in his party (unless you include his deaf pet hamster) so cant see how he can afford to send out a mail shot to half the city?

Someone mentioned Royal Mail were offering free mail shots but does that extend to election material??

IIRC every registered candidate gets 1 free mailing paid for from our Taxes so it wont cost him anything. He may have to pay for the design and printing but not sure on that.

Is he a Green Titoist?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

A Titoist lapsing - :shock: Any decent self management structure would kick lapsing out straight away. Guess his revolution is in the planning stage. :wink: :wink:
