It’s the last posting day for Christmas. If the coalition Government get their way we’ll be playing the ‘last post’ for Royal mail too. They want to sell off our cherished British institution to the highest bidder. And the British people don’t. In national surveys 78% of the public believed privatising Royal Mail would be a bad deal for the taxpayer and 82% believed prices would go up.
We post over 750 million Christmas cards. So at the very time most of us are using the service we’re running a national press campaign (starting today) to remind everyone that if you don’t want a more expensive, less regular service under a privatised Royal Mail, including Christmas 2011, then don’t let the coalition ConDem us to privatisation.
