Mr Bloom Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2014/apr/01/royal-mail-undervaluing-taxpayer-cable Absolutely disgraceful. This money could have been used to alleviate the crisis in the NHS. It's high time these muppets we call a 'government' were brought to account.

Mr Bloom Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 yeah lets get labour back in ! their policies are working wonders over in france ! or we could have a lib dem government....or maybe not ! It's nothing to do with getting Labour back in, or getting UKIP in, or anything else. It's about making government answerable, accountable, and therefore respsonsible.

I totally disagree. If they are accountable, many of them would be consigned to the dustbin of history after the expenses scandal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowperil Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Weve been screwed is the top and bottom of it. What do you do though after the fact? Spend money on an enquiry to determine which ones have made money from it floating at a lower price! More money down the drain that youd also never get back. Theyll just make a scapegoat of someone who will resign with a nice pay off and theyll say thats and end to it! Same old same old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigsexydoug Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 if the public opinion was that much against them then they shouldnt have got votes at all, never mind enough to keep their seats or deposit, until people stop voting for labour or the tories "cos my dad always did" then nothing can change, unless we get switzerland democracy here, and even then i think most people wouldnt even be bothered to vote for the things they want , they want everything done for them ! and it to be perfect the first time !

taxman Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I like the fact Vince arranged for some blue chip investors to get priority shares on the basis that they'd provide long term stability but then half of them flogged the shares to hedge funds for a quick buck. Plus all the payoffs to their banking chums for the "independent" advice they gave. Money for cronies as per Posted from Sheffieldforum.co.uk App for Android Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchresearch Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Can you blame Cable though. The article says he ignored "warnings from City experts that the government had vastly undervalued the company." Considering what a mess the banking system ended up in, would you trust a "city expert"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clown Shoes Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 There is something very dodgy about all this. How can a huge corporation like the Royal Mail be undervalued. It wouldnt happen with a company like Facebook. Would be interesting to know which politicians bought shares that were involved in the valuation & sale of the Royal Mail.
