    So my postman who earns about 15k a year will get £100k from the deal and still be in a job?

    Quality.

    As this shower of ****s have no mandate to be making decisions of this magnitude, they should hold a referendum.

    Squeezed out by the institutions.

    Those that do get shares and presumably want to make a short term profit - will find it very difficult to sell the day after the flotation - or that morning when the price rcokets - the big lads have share dealing pretty much sewn up.

    Long term - assuming no strikes and a growing business then there should be money to be made.

    They won't get anything close to this, from what I've heard they'll get between £1500 and £3500 depending on the value of shares when they open. This value will increase / decrease depending on trading but they will never increase to give an employee a £100,000 share holding.

    That's what will be given

    They will then get a buy one get one free offer

    They Will then get a 3 or 5 years sharesave option at -20% of the flotation price,

    Did the last government have the mandate to bankrupt the country, steal from the pensioners , and sell all our gold when the price was rock bottom

    Under whose governance, Gordon Browns. Mrs Brown could have done a better job. It is going to take a long time for the country to recover. Things are getting better , but we are only in the first mile of a marathon here

    Started by the woman you admire so much...

    Both sides were wrong and New Labour should have been pursuing a socialist agenda and didn't.

    What's my mum got to do with it

    If you mean Thatcher I'm afraid she was guided by arrogance rather than wisdom. Therefore, I have no admiration for her

    I think that at the time monitored deregulation was the correct thing. However failure to monitor it was negligent.

    Don't ever forget that when she came into power the county was in a proper mess
