Why Royal Mail MUST Survive


Whilst I have sympathy with the workers of Royal Mail I do not want the nationwide strike to go ahead as I fear that like British Leyland in the 80s, we will lose another brilliant national institution.
It is the same reason that I don't want to see the Royal Mail part-privatised.

The Royal Mail is one of the things our country can be proud of.
However due to crippling EU regulations it has had to cut back service to ensure foreign companies such as Deutschepost get a fair share of the market.

Britain is becoming ever more unrecognisable the last thing we need along with the closure of our beloved pubs is the closure of our Royal Mail. Whatever next? The NHS?

It is laughable that sections of the media describe the strikes over "modernisation".
The strikes are not because of that at all, for a start, there is no modernisation on the agenda at all. Just pension cutbacks, higher prices and being further squeezed out of the market.
