Deliverance
The postal workers are on strike later this week.
If you believe Adam Crozier, the multi-millionaire Thief Executive of Royal Mail when he says that the strike is an "appalling and unjustified attack on customers",
If you believe the serial crook Mandelson when he says that he is "beyond anger" at the thought of the postal workers trying to defend themselves from management thuggery and deceit,
If you think this is about a bunch of backward Luddites trying to stop the necessary 'modernisation' (yes, that word again) of a public service,
If you believe that mail volume really is declining in an age of increasing deliveries of online purchases, and
If you really think that the rights of people working for a public service should be trampled over - and the experienced workforce replaced by temping scabs recruited from the ever-lengthening dole queues - simply to avoid a temporary and very minor inconvenience to you, the consumer,
Then I think you need to read this.
I, for one, will be supporting the postal workers this week, whilst wishing that there was more that I could do, but am prevented from doing by the vicious anti-worker legislation passed twenty-odd years ago by an extreme right-wing government and - disgracefully - never repealed by its supposed ever-so-slightly left-of-centre successor.
