Alex Salmond has already gone on record as saying he is against the part privatisation of RM. Perhaps the CWU could affilliate with the SNP once they tell Liebour to F*ck Off. 
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.
The time has come for union.

Re: Early Day Motion EDM 428 ROYAL MAIL- 153 SIGNATURES
Just to announce that I received a letter today from my MP David Mundell (Con) Member of Parliament for Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale & Tweeddale.
Comments on final paragraph of letter as follows:
To that extent, whilst we have no objection to privatisation conceptually, the Conservative Party will certainly not be offering the Government unconditional support for its proposals. [Optional, EDM 428: On this basis, I am afraid that I do not currently feel able to sign EDM 428].
Well that's now Labour and Conservative who will not be receiving my vote come the next general election.

I see one member of the DUP has signed it 
it's a pity the rest of them are too busy sucking up to Brown to care about a few thousand peoples jobs.

He could, but he would have to resign from cabinet, and I don't think you could class him as a conviction politician. He is a career one and its seems that he is too busy behind the scenes (like Harriet Harman and Yvette Cooper to name 2), positioning himself for the top job when Brown finally does the decent thing, to worry about his past workmates and loyal Union membersbexhil palace wrote:Just a thought Terrier, but couldn't he vocally oppose the privatisation plans? :mfoTrueBlueTerrier wrote:Allan Johnson can't sign it - apparently there is an understanding that ministers and shadow ministers will not sign EDMs even if they agree with them..

Kin ell!,Just curious,how many MPs are there in all?
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
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.
