That has nothing to do with me being liberal or conservative , thats just me seeing an industry going down the toilet since it was privatised and being run for profit rather than for service.
And have taxes gone down since it didn't have to subsidise Royal Mail , nope not in the slightest.
And I wouldn't like to see the NHS go down the same road.

Well, the government should reuglate monopolies. Multiple different mail services would lower the price and increase the quality of the service. If you've got one company that runs all mail, they can charge however much they want and provide whatever quality of service they want. When you have different companies vying for your money, you get the good deal.
