Keep the Post Public - No 10 ePetition

I have just signed this:
 http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/Royal-Mail-Sale/
The petition reads:
We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to reject any part privatisation or minority stake sale of Royal Mail which could lead to loss of service, price hikes and would erode a much loved public service.
A petition to keep a much loved public service fully intergrated and wholly in the public sector.
Could I ask readers of 'Rupert's read' to please add your names and feel free to pass onto friends, family and anyone in your address book that will support this campaign...
