CWU today (Wednesday) applauds Dennis Skinner's comment of "Royal Mail for sale, Queen's head privatised".

On proposed legislation, CWU welcomes improvements in dangerous dogs laws, as included in the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Bill, which the union hopes will help address the serious issue of dog attacks. CWU has been campaigning for six years to secure improvements in laws and today is a major achievement and a step closer to better protection for victims.

Billy Hayes, CWU general secretary, said: "Dennis is right, this government wants to privatise the Queen's head. Royal Mail and the Queen's head are not for sale."

"Today is the culmination of six years of hard campaign work to improve dangerous dogs laws to better protect victims of attacks and promote more responsible dog ownership. Westminster has finally followed the lead of Scotland and Northern Ireland in addressing the failings of the Dangerous Dogs Act.

"The extension of the law to private property will protect thousands of postal workers, telecom engineers and others who have to work on private property for their job and who have been left without protection if attacked by dogs. Compulsory microchipping will be another help, but it's a shame the government isn't implementing preventative measures such as Dog Control Notices. We have some reservations about how accessible this legislation will be for enforcement agencies, but nevertheless it is undoubtedly an improvement and giant step forwards."

CWU will be taking part in the EFRA Select Committee's evidence session in May and will continue to monitor the progress of this legislation closely to ensure it achieves the best possible outcome

Oh yes, any attempt to disguise the privatisation of a vital public service, should be held up for the world to scorn.
And, these being very dishonest times we live in, you can bet there will be an attempt to fool an already foolish British public.

Heard about this from a customer just after it happened. Made me chuckle then, and again when I watched it from the above link(cheers for that).
Bless him.
