I'm shocked that selling a loss making public service to foreign interests with the aim of it running as a for profit business has failed, I can't recall this ever being a problem in the past. /s

    I miss my post lady. She was cheery, nice to talk to, hard working and didn't get mail mixed up. Slowly and surely, she got grumpier and grumpier before disappearing. Now it's a different person every week or so and our mail is constantly late or posted in the wrong door.

    Fuck this privatisation and everyone involved

    The government sold it along with all its assets (buildings and equipment paid for by us) for £1, so I’m sure they’ll be happy to now throw more of our tax money after that to bail it out.
