I'm sorry  In unsurprising news, the National Audit Office has told the government they sold Royal Mail to their mates for too cheap and it wasn't good value to taxpayers. BBC posted:The Communication Workers Union called for Business Secretary Vince Cable to quit over the sale. Billy Hayes, general secretary of the union, said it was a "botched, panic sale" and the business secretary "should consider his position". And a bit of Just Fancy That! quote:With demand for the flotation uncertain, the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills chose 21 "priority investors" to maximise its chances of successfully selling all the shares. It believed that these investors would be long-term, supportive shareholders. The Coalition couldn't organise a bun fight at kiplings.

Edit: where's this list of 21 priority investors? I can't wait to see how they're all buddies of or related to Tory shitheels.

KKKlean Energy posted:The only thing you really need to know is that the history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles - all other truths can be derived from that Wrong m8 quote:In a capitalist market, governed by the invisible hand of supply and demand, sellers are constantly searching for new technologies to increase productivity, allowing them to reduce the costs of producing their goods and services so they can sell them cheaper than their competitors, win over consumers and secure sufficient profit for their investors. Marx never asked what might happen if intense global competition some time in the future forced entrepreneurs to introduce ever more efficient technologies, accelerating productivity to the point where the marginal cost of production approached zero, making goods and services "priceless" and potentially free, putting an end to profit and rendering the market exchange economy obsolete. But that's now beginning to happen. Class struggle is over, quoth the Guardian! Prosumers of the world, unite! (Extra Marx cred for those who can point out what long-term effect Marx did predict which is basically exactly what this guy says he didn't)

I'm surprised Cable is not just saying the most obvious reason for the difficulty in pricing the Royal Mail, namely the uncertainty over how costly industrial action would be to resolve. It's not like blaming the union would actually cost the Conservatives any votes, and in this case it's not actually a bullshit answer.

The union calling for his resignation may regret it, he is one of the few Lib-Dems that didn't drink the Tory Kool-aid. Its also being heavily hinted that he was the one who leaked about the Scots will be able to enter into a currency union if they go out of the Union.

Poll news! http://comres.co.uk/polls/MailOnline_Clegg_vs_Farage_Poll_31st_March_2013.pdf Dale Maily posted:Four in 10 voters think Nigel Farage poses a ’danger to Britain’ after he heaped praise on Russian President Vladimir Putin, an exclusive poll for MailOnline reveals today. The survey reveals the UKIP leader is also seen as ’a bit sleazy’ while his Lib Dem rival Nick Clegg is out of his depth and less likely to tell the truth.

Pint questions The only reason I'd want a pint with Farage is so that I could make novel use of the beverage container. Also what the gently caress: "However, Mr Farage was a more popular choice for a date among men - 12 percent" So 12 percent of the polled men were gay and willing to date that jizzblister? Seems a tad high somehow

Farage has a block of supporters who think he tells the truth the Guardian/cultural marxists/'they' don't want you to know, and a block of opponents who think he's a dangerous sleazeball. Meanwhile nobody anywhere in the country thinks Clegg is trustworthy. The 18% is all drunk/mistaken/joke/desperate lib dem answers.

You plebs just don't understand: the mere, magical fact of the Royal Mail being privatized has caused the business to massively gain in value  http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/douglascarswellmp/100265616/of-course-royal-mail-share-prices-have-gone-up-because-its-been-privatised/ (And what lesson does this supply for what we should do with all the other public services, eh?

Re: Eric Pickles chat: Generally I don't think it's fair to use people's weight as a mark against them, but Pickles really is the physical representation of the stereotypical greedy, gluttonous, privileged piece of poo poo that cannot see past his own gut to see that people he is paid to represent (like any MP gives a gently caress about that) are going hungry because of the actions of him, his mates and his cronies. So yeah, he is a disgusting fat gently caress. (I am, however, aware that he isn't part of the old-money club that Tories generally subscribe to)
