Google behind Royal Mail strike
In a cash-for-strikers scandal, it has been revealed today that the Royal Mail strike has been partly motivated by Google, in an attempt to move the whole of Britain’s mail network onto Google’s Gmail system.

Despite the appearance that the cash hungry, layabout employees of Royal Mail are simply striking for a couple of days off work, and to flew their muscles, in an unsubtle attempt to boost their flagging self-esteem over having jobs that involve putting envelopes into holes, it seems there is another motive behind the action…

Cultsha has uncovered a scandal that suggests the Silicon Valley-based conglomerate Google has been offering ’the friendly postie on the garden path’ cash in return for their striking support, in a futile attempt to destroy the anachronistic mail industry. In addition Google is said to be using manipulative, ego-stroking persuasive tactics by telling Royal Mail employees that their ability to wheel a mail trolley will be much coveted in the supermarket industry.

1. Good work Google, those cash-hungry layabout Royal Mail employees really get under my skin.
Like the article, my reply is "spoofish". :P
