BRITAIN’S 115,000 red post boxes should be given listed building status to stop foreign companies changing their colour, the Government was told yesterday.

Tory MP Philip Hollobone said: “Were they to disappear as a result of privatisation it would be a national shame.” He told postal affairs minister Ed Davey that they were a great British symbol.

Mr Davey told Mr Hollobone that the “much-loved” boxes would remain red.

“Given the Royal Mail has 300 litres of red paint in stock, I think he can sleep easy in his bed,” he said.

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.
The time has come for union.

Are those f***ing jokers for real???? :crazy:

What f***ing difference does the colour of pillar boxes make, when our postal service will have been handed lock, stock, and barrel , to foreign privateers intent on ripping-off the not-so-great British public????

I sometimes feel that the United Kingdom is the world's largest nut house, I really do. :d'oh! :roll:

I know all they are bothered about is keeping post boxes red and the Queens head staying on stamps , f*ck the univeral service , the Great British public getting their mail delivered cheaply and the thousands of jobs . :evil/mad .

Moya states that it's wrong for the British public to fund the modernisation of RM and bail out the pension deficit through taxation , so is she under the impression that some rich Arab is going to buy RM ( like they would a football club ) and run it for fun . When RM is privatised RM'S customers will be paying , who's that then Moya ? oh yes the British public but on top of modernisation they will have to pay the shareholders and for senior managements massive wage increases . The ConDems friends and Moya and Co will be like pigs at a through , they are repulsive greedy people and the British public are just going to sleep walk into this disaster and let RM be stolen :evil/mad :evil/mad :evil/mad :evil/mad :evil/mad .

That's not very much is it?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.
