A message to the public from your local postie. #StandByYourPost

Message from your customers you have let us down at one of the most important times of the year for small businesses

Heading straight to the dole queue - led by your Marxist leaders, who will still be raking in their £100k+ salary. Contrary to what they tell you, the public see these strikes as purely political, and the sensible ones don't support you. You deserve what is coming to you.

@CraftyOldGit You ask for the support from the public? (imv) There is no need to ask. Reports suggest that well over 60% of the public believe that what you are doing is right. (As they do with all other strikes) You don't have to ask for my support. You had it from the beginning. Solidarity.

Once again during this strike I've been waiting ten days for a parcel to arrive in time for Christmas, and I missed the delivery today so have a card to collect it. I won't cross a picket line to collect it, as your fight is more important. I stand with you.

You've wrecked Christmas for thousands of businesses and millions of families. It was your choice to strike and these are the consequences. Own them.

Went to collect my elderly mum today, for the Christmas period. She has NOT received any post for 3 weeks. NO CHRISTMAS CARDS. I posted her card on 1st December, first class. I AM SO BLOODY ANGRY. SHAME ON YOU. 😡

I think you are doing yourself a disservice mate. Businesses will leave you in droves and all you will be left with is the loss making domestic letters only. I've cancelled orders this Xmas knowing they were "not going to be" delivered by the royal mail.

Striking in December is below the line, the support you would have received is no longer there. You would have voted to strike so staff members played a part in causing this shambles. There is nothing royal about the service that is provided.

You should be ashamed my dear neighbour missed a urgent medical appointment no letter then her medication never came in the post .Adapt or you will no longer be relevant .We are not in 1985 .
