Dreadful move as the Toffs are bound to mess it up big time but they will not care as they cream it off the stock market.

No chance of Dick getting up to his old tricks of stopping coaches on Hampstead Heath. He would not be able to move for all the doggers, cottagers, and champagne socialists from Islington.

Royal Mail share flotation details set to be announced

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-23249466


These evil heartless Tory scum would sell their Grannies if they could get away with it. Now they are selling off our Royal Mail, for some reason Thatcher and then Major left this alone!!!

All thanks to Amazon and internet shopping, more parcels being sent than ever before. Although the shops in towns are in decline. So Royal Mail looks like a profit making organisation, unlike the old days when it employed more staff and made losses.

So the plan is to keep all the debts, keep all the parts which struggle to make a profit and sell off the bits you can make money on.
So it looks like a lose lose situation for the taxpayer.
These Tory sell-off schemes are a strange business model, there are not many businessmen who would give away their profitable enterprises and keep only their loss making ones.

Pretty much my take on it as well.

So if you take the £1.7billion restructuring and the £1.3 billion modernisation then they are going to sell it for exactly what they recently invested in it.

George Osborne says he will not need to raise taxes to meet deficit reduction targets after the next election.

More bloody lies, if these pigs get back I am telling you here and now 100% they will, just watch it happen. Anyone who votes for these Tory pigs has got a screw loose.
