Conservatives to flog off the Post Office.

[LAFOLIE]

Well, it hasn't taken them long to return to their old ways. Next part of the family silver to be selected is the Post Office. It is quite clear, they just don't learn. Again, they just apply Capitolistic principles to ever part of public service within this country. Just wait and see, once its sold off to some 'fat cat' orginisation, the price of sending a basic letter will double and some parts of the service will be axed because they won't make large profits. The Post Office, Railway, Tubes, buses etc should be run for the people by the people. So, what will we do with this large sum of money from the sale of the Post Office....you just know its going to be spunked up the wall on pointless and usless projects. Ah, I can think of one, 2012 games!

This country was flushed down the toilet years ago and somewhere at the bottom of a very deep ocean!

1981 I reckon.The day they implemented the 'right' to buy homes built by the people for the people was the the start.

Whilst the bright young (well some of them no longer so young) things in the financial sector have been continually rewarded for their bad behaviour.

[Jake]

yep fucking cunts! not exactly an intelligent comment I know. What gets me is the 500,000 public sector job cuts they announced the day they announce X100 Millions to be spent on the IED problem in Afghanistan, how about get the fuck out of that war and save some jobs? Just an idea like!

[PaulinLondon]

I wonder how many letters are written today compared to the eve of the day the internet and email was unleashed upon us ?

No wonder they want to sell it, it is probably vastly underused compared to a few years ago.

[Jake]

Depends Paul, a lot of people of the older generation aren't as adept in modern technology as we are, I still use the post office and its a disatser for pensioners.

Where are you going to pick up your dole now?

[Toiler On The Sea]

Amazon & Play don't use the post office anymore.

Don't worry Jake, whilst your parents can retire early safe in the knowledge that their pensions are paid for, we 1960's baby boomers will continue working and paying taxes until we are 70 (if we live that long ),too glad of a job having been part of Thatcher's young unemployed.
