A phony” one Liverpool postal worker immediately reacted to Vince Cable’s proposal for an “examination” of his bargain basement sale of Royal Mail.
Above all, the Right Honourable Vince Cable MP will be remembered for privatising Royal Mail.
He did so despite the evidence that it was unnecessary and that the public did not want it. Public opinion polls showed that a large majority of voters opposed the sale whatever their stated political allegiance.
As the General Election approaches we will watch with interest as Vince steps over the terminated career of Nick Clegg, to take up the mantle of Liberal Democrat leader.
The CWU is indebted to Ian Williams for his short guide to Cablefroth.
