Letter sales falling; poor labour relations; lack of modernisation; where is the money for dividends going to come from; inevitable Government or Wathdog interference....
Not likely!

I will take my free ones as an employee of Royal Mail. The public like to moan about the posties but don't realise what a great service they are going to lose. Very
sad time, even Thatcher who I will always hate with passion decided that Royal Mail was the Queens service and should not be sold off.

Ah, the good old Con(servative) Trick again. Buy something we already, or now, used to own 
There's money to be made, although I wouldn't buy them for long term investment.

Price of stamps will go up on a much more regular basis at 3 or 4 times the rate of inflation just like rail , gas and electricity prices do.

Hell yes, I'm in big for this one. The corporate prize here is massive, years of union intransigence and blocking modernisation and anything remotely looking like productivity improvements.
Under private ownership with proper capital funding this business has the potential to properly compete on the UK and world stage. Those union lead boots will become a thing of the past when the people that work for Royal Mail realise how good their propsects are in the new world, both as individuals, and as powerful business.

What are you on about
Thatcher sold off the railways, gas, electric, water etc. Don't think there was anything left to sell in 1997, apart from RM

The Conservatives couldn't believe their luck when it fell into their lap.

Didn't Labour only want to sell 50% of RM , hold on to the other 50% and keep 1 "golden share" so they still retained a Government majority stake ?

Prudent management would have meant Iron Bru could have kept Gold he just wanted to spend.
and so end the discussion specific to Royal Mail.
