It is not a newspaper, it doesn't have the power to tell people the truth , so it is gone . Well done David Cameron for those that blame Brexit and well done the Tory party in general for getting rid of the what would be one of the bastions of Britishness. What a load of jeremy hunts .
Less than four years ago myself and my colleagues worked through the COVID period for everyone in this country putting our families and ourselves at great risk and putting Royal Mail back into a sizeable profit and now this British Institution is in massive debt by complete mismanagement ,what about the fantastic workers,many been there for years, where will it leave them in six months , twelve months time ,low pay , zero hour contact's, no future, it's a complete disgrace however they dress it up .
If it is sold outside the UK then surely it cannot be called"ROYAL" anymore. What is happening to my country. Surely this is a security situation with all the data in the post?
It's profitable and the UK let's face it can do with the money. Yet until corrupt run boards that's got greedy shareholders are still part of it we will always be told it's not working.
21st Century Britain - EVERYHTING is for Sale. TRULY, TRULY SICK OF THIS. Is the Czech Postal Service owned by Jim Ratcliffe ? Would the Czech Govt permit this ?
They will never get loyalty from the work force , offering Supermarket style contracts , demanding 7 day working at their choice , walking up to 60 miles a week .
I used to work for Royal Mail in a management role. I took redundancy several years ago as I was not willing to accept a paycut. The company was been asset stripped and had long been very inefficient.
It is important to wonder what does a Czech billionaire want with Royal Mail? It certainly isn't going to make him richer, Royal Mail is a troubled firm.
If this happens just watch profits soar as prices go up whilst service goes down and zero hour contracts come into force for postal workers, why does the government do this to everything? Is much prefer profits to flow back into the government coffers rather than buy some billionaire a new yacht ffs
"He lives in Czechoslovakia... I don't know where he lives...He lives in Prague." What the hell are these dummies babbling on about? "Czechoslovakia" ceased to exist fully TWENTY-ONE YEARS AGO - didn't they notice? It is now Czechia and Slovakia. And Prague is still in the same spot.

A race to the bottom! Fact is it's becoming increasingly impossible to compete in a free market, unless free means exactly that, that's where we are heading
Royal Mail is a public service that was once managed under a government department. In 2011, the Government passed the Postal Services Act, which gave the green light for 90 per cent of Royal Mail to be privatised, while 10 per cent remained with Royal Mail employees. It is now a public limited company, meaning it is owned by shareholders.

Weird to watch those to the Right of politics, finally start admitting that the Left were correct about nationalising key utilities. Why? Because once those assets are sold off for short term gain, it's very difficult for us to buy it all back. And whatever money that business makes, goes out of the country. We are increasingly bankrolling European and US companies, strengthening their economies, and weakening ours.
Should lose the "roayal" warrent then and just be called the post office. They are crap anyway...haven't used them for years until today when I had to renew car license...£21.
Frankly I couldn't care less. Dave Ward and his CWU cronies weren't bothered about the plight of Liverpool workers at the Bootle Santander site in 2022. Many of us made redundant when Santander shut Bootle. Sent jobs to Milton Keynes, Sunderland, Dagenham and India. Dave Ward couldn't be bothered to come up to Bootle and fight for our jobs. He's only bothered about his P.R. as regards getting on T.V. and Royal Mail picket lines. The smaller companies have never mattered to the CWU. Yet they took our subs every month. Absolutely useless union.

The only mail i get from royal mail is junk mail and when i used them to get parcels delivered i never got my items when they were supposed to arrive and at times they never arrived at all. There are better options available and because we have an option to get letters and such sent by email which we can then print at home if needed then the postal service just isnt needed as much as they think. The service from royal mail has been atrocious for years and considering the other foreign influences happening around the UK, this really isnt a surprise. Daniel Kretinsky may be beneficial for royal mail but i do agree with others that the `royal` part of the name should be removed.

who gets letters anymore. I get 2 a month.... All you need is the odd bill. Bank Statements digital. What else do people need? Most stuff that is delivered is junk that goes in the bin..... if everyone just cancelled their junk mail subscriptions mail volumes would drop 50%+
Equity or "investment group" ownership has never benefited the company only the board members and top-tier management. There is a lot of money to be made by robbing all cash, selling off assets, then shutting it down. Only in this case the British taxpayer would have to bail it out and take it over again.

Good luck to him...at least he has a plan as far as I understand his expressed intentions. He's prepared to commit a third of his net worth on the investment.
