In its first set of annual results since last year's flotation, the group announced a 13.3p dividend for the second half of the year. Another "little" bonus for the the thieving bankers, hedge funds and "investment" brokers, aided and abetted by  the duplicitous Cable and the other ConDem government conspirators who stole this organisation at the time of privatisation and defrauded the British public of £ millions.

Today's news that 1300 people are to be sacked comes as no surprise to those of us who have opposed the whole concept of privatisation for many years. The pillaging of Royal Mail is just the latest example of Tory plundering of public assets. The sacking of the 1300 will not be the last.

The "advisers" are allocated millions of shares which are now trading at £5.50 per share. There is something very smelly about the whole privatisation of Royal Mail scam which has made hedge funds (one of which is now the major shareholder in the "new" Royal Mail), institutional investors, speculators and "advisers" all a very great amount of money, at the expense of the British taxpayers and the people who are (currently) working for Royal Mail. Vince Cable and the ConDem coalition government, have some very serious questions to answer about this latest rip off of p...
