It was a toxic responsibility handed to Vince Cable by David Cameron. It cost the taxpayer over £750m in just one day alone.
The Government also provided Whistl as a fake competitor using the recently nationalised banks following the banking crisis.
Many well connected individuals made a lot of money in a very short time a matter of weeks, by selling their preferential shares.
A total scandal.

It's the best way to deal with these idiots, I agree we don't want an "Echo Chamber" but their comments are designed to wind people up.
All we need now if for others to stop quoting them and we'll be sorted.

CASH FOR THE BOYS!
It doesn't surprise me that Government and Big Business is so corrupt, but I would have thought others at the Top would have stopped it. To simply say, "Royal Mail Shares were drastically undervalued ... We didn't realise they'd be so oversubscribed" is not good enough!
People should have been held responsible, and punished. But we know that never happens. Politicians, and CEOs, are just let off with a slapped wrist and told, "Don't do it again".

Re: Its all over the news. They are threatening administration, but do we care?
I have been posting on message boards for a number of years on a variation of subjects,trolls are everywhere,every single forum has a couple. Invariably- what I have found is that they always turn out to be angry,unhappy blokes that seem to have something (or someone) missing in their lives. redlen could be the exception to the rule of coursepost6675 wrote: ↑29 Mar 2023, 09:56Im not sure why every1 gets so mad at him i find it him thoroughly entertaining,ifind myself chuckling at his debates dailyCedar_Room wrote: ↑29 Mar 2023, 09:51redlen is a management troll.

Definitely agree with you on that! All This could have been completely avoided if a forced 2% didn’t happen an offer of like you say with the usual strings but also if a certain managers union had stuck by its fellow TUC member instead of ITS members accepting a few lunching vouchers a pitiful money bribe and the odd day offstevejm wrote: ↑28 Mar 2023, 15:38Come on - you don't believe that. Offering and imposing a 2% pay rise is what got us here. If they had offered 5/6% last summer with a few minor strings attached we'd all have been in a better place.redlen wrote: ↑28 Mar 2023, 14:58Yet again calling the CEO of the company you work for and Boss "Slyman" shows the contempt its unionised workers have for their employer. This juvenile rhetoric is what has got us into this position.
That includes the CWU director of communications Chriss Webb after his stunt in Parliament.

At the end Royal Mail will end up like British Leyland if this continues,

I'm guessing that if you go around all the couriers the going rate for a letter sized item is probably around £5. just imagine all the MPs getting a right earful when their constituents find themselves having to pay £5 each time they want to send a single letterPost69 wrote: ↑29 Mar 2023, 10:35So those managers who have been behind this current CEO and his narcissistic cronies have to look long and hard at themselves IF and when their P45’s appear (they won’t land on their doormat because they’re won’t be a British postal service to put it through their letterbox)
