BREAKING: Royal Mail Sale To Czech Billionaire Cleared By Government

[@Pagespinner]

What's happened to us? The whole country is being given away to foreigners.

[@TemporaryParticipant]

Not just yours. 🫤🇺🇸

[@juliemaddern]

I remember playing hell about this in the late 80s and 90s, disgusting!

[@stanthesteelguitarman8228]

It beggars belief! Now we have the addition of Royal Mail in foreign hands. Is there anything left which is truly British anymore?

[@juliemaddern]

They make me sick!

Selling Britain by the pound.

[@reverentalexanderchezeley-6367]

Yep, selling the family silver.

[@Skygrey2943]

Thatcher and the Tories started that ball rolling. Asset stripping the UK does not benefit anyone in the UK in the long run.

[@reverentalexanderchezeley-6367]

If something is to expensive to repair then sell it on to somebody else.

[@Sophistcated-q5t]

Is there anything of our country left that hasn't been sold off. These buyers have no interest in our country or its people. What gives any government the right to do this. It's the same with gas and electric companies. That's why we are charged more than any other country in Europe. 😮😢

[@TheMirrorGuy]

As a Postie, I can say that the rounds have got bigger and bigger, and not achievable within the time most of the year round. Then add an influx of Christmas mail and an influx of Christmas parcels then something has got to give. As for the cost of a stamp, the company has made first class more expensive (but still cheaper than delivering it yourself) so as to encourage more people over to second class. This is in a bid to change how often mail is delivered, as the company wants to deliver mail every other day, so they can concentrate more on parcels. Not sure how that's going to work if you still have to deliver first class letters everyday? I walk around 10 miles a day delivering mail and parcels, so it's a very physical job.

[@JesusIsKing50]

What’s that got to do with stabbing your own country/people in the back ? We need to stop calling it Great Britain. It’s not anymore

[@paulgibson3433]

We don’t manufacture, or own anything anymore!

[@Skygrey2943]

Deindustrialisation and the country has been asset stripped. It's a bit late to complain though. This is the dominant economic ideology in our government regardless of the colour.

[@valeriegrimshaw1365]

Since we joined the EEC we have been asset stripped and dumped on by the EU...

[@silondon9010]

Many Royal Mail walks are completely unachievable with brutal workloads 😢

[@anitarogers2877]

@TalkTV - Can it get any worse? Do any of them have common sense or brains?! Selling off and losing the control of our Royal Mail postal service - that should be owned and run by the UK! The mind boggles...

[@rickydaley3347]

Laundering drug, terrorist money! With our corrupt government getting their hidden /off shore bank accounts filled

[@timg1246]

Why ? The Royal Mail is in terminal decline. You want to cling on to an industry that will not be around much longer in this form.

[@rickydaley3347]

​@@timg1246they're the ones who put their own people in management. Run it into the ground so they can sell it off & line their pockets! British steel gone, water, gas, nhs going ect ect ect

[@peterteagleteagle9958]

The whole country will end up in Cash convertors

[@Skygrey2943]

Crack converters.

[@stequality]

Will end up ?

[@jungletiger1900]

Stamps sure to rise.

[@peterteagleteagle9958]

Do we really want a foreigner running our post office, ah well, more redundancies them

[@TheMirrorGuy]

Royal Mail and the Post Office are two different companies 👍

[@peterteagleteagle9958]

@TheMirrorGuy don't matter,there all going to disappear ,

[@TheMirrorGuy]

@peterteagleteagle9958 Hopefully not, I don't think that the Government would let Royal Mail fail. Think of all the things that require delivering, like NHS leters and testing kits, passports, speeding tickets, ballot papers, council tax. How would you replace that service, someone has to do it.

[@jimbalshaw7347]

How much have MPs accepted for this !

[@sirjosephwhitworth9415]

Never realised Britain still owned anything to sell!

[@Skygrey2943]

There's only the NHS, and that's been going by the back door for a long time.

STOP. Do not sell our Royal Mail to any overseas businessman. It will only go wrong down the line and be split up that will damage uk jobs. Please please King Charles, intervene and stop this madness.

Has Lammy paid him to take it away? Just asking.

[@Kieran-m7f]

What has happened to this country did we sell up when we left the EU?

[@NickHarbornePhotography]

I just paid £9 for a special delivery A4 letter 😮 I nearly died

[@TheMirrorGuy]

Did you know that Posties often have to break off from there rounds to go and get that letter delivered by 1pm. This mail is treated more securely than any other mail, and takes priority over every other item. That's the service you are paying for, and why it costs more money than the cost of a standard letter. I will be using the service myself today as I post of share certificates, with death certificates, probate and will documents. Personally it's worth the extra cost.

[@paula-xmoonlitfaeryx]

@NickHarbornePhotography I know, it's disgusting isn't it. We posted 8 xmas cards and it cost over £13 ! It's a shame evrie or other courier companies don't start a normal mail delivery service to push prices down

[@NickHarbornePhotography]

@paula-xmoonlitfaeryx I know its outrageous I've stopped sending cards now and just call instead

[@paula-xmoonlitfaeryx]

@@NickHarbornePhotography I think that's what we'll have to do or send virtual cards. It's getting far too expensive to drop someone a line now.

​@@paula-xmoonlitfaeryxDHL parcel UK (not DHL express) are starting to focus more on regular letters, you have to drop them off at a service point though. I used to work there and that is the plan for 2025.

People don’t realise Royal Mail delivers most of Amazons parcels 😉

[@surcitta]

People might not send as many letters as they once did; but when they do, they're important. The timely delivery of letters must be guaranteed and protected.

"agreed a deal worth £3.6 billion - or £5.3 billion including debt" _____________________________________________________________ So pay £5.3 billion for something worth £1.3 (after debt is subtracted).
