QUINN HAS THE ANSWER!

I'VE HAD A DREAM...

Writing on his personal blog, http://www.tameside.gov.uk/blog/leader/ (17 July 2013) Tameside’s Council Leader, Kieran Quinn said, ‘The Royal Mail is the lifeblood of the country and is vital for keeping Tameside’s economy flowing!’

Now one might think he might be a little bit biased because of the fact he used to work for the Postal Service (In what capacity I’m not sure) and still is a big-wig in the Communications Workers Union (CWU) but his imposing claim that the Post Office is the ‘lifeblood’ of the country, is stretching the imagination beyond belief.

Now I don’t know about you, but if like me you're one of those who watch and listen to the news, it won’t have escaped your memory hearing about the state of the economy, and on listening to the debates, probably believe that it will be the strength of Britain’s entrepreneurial and small business sector, together with the reduction of bureaucratic red tape, that will be the grease the vital cogs that turn the wheels to re-energise our flagging economy, but hey, what do we know?

But we're not alone, in fact, if one reads the local paper, it would appear that even a few of our career councillors; who never stop whinging about the dire state of the economy, recognise the economical problems too! However if our esteemed Leader is right, then maybe we should open a Post Office on every street in the borough in order to get that vital ‘lifeblood’ flowing and save the economy by sending letters to each other!

KIERAN QUINN AND THE LIFEBLOOD OF TAMESIDE

So, forget technology, entrepreneurship and education, apparently according to our leader it’s the retention of ownership of the Post Office that is the essential lifeblood, if we are to stimulate the British economy!

Beware these people walk amongst us!
