You had been warned!

[Broken Heart]

It was well over twelve months ago that many of us warned that the post office closures were just the thin edge of the wedge towards privatisation and the loss of the Post Office Service in the UK!

It's sour grapes but;  told you so!

It is now openly discussed that people in remote locations will have to pick up their mail from a local distribution point, and the universal delivery to all of the UK will be a thing of the past, to bad if you live in the Highlands and Islands.

In my opinion the 'government' (the small g was deliberate!) possibly want the postal strike so that they can put the blame for privatisation onto the postal workers?  Let's face it, postal workers striking just turns the unthinking masses against them.

I just cannot see the Royal Mail and Post Office surviving now, except in name.  You all better get your walking boots out so that you can collect your post!!

Well Broken Heart, you were right.

The Tory Lib coalition has announced privatisation of the Post Office.  How far will this go, and at what loss to the country.
