| Comment | As much as it pains me to defend Tories, I would point out that a) deregulation of the postal service was required by an EU directive, b) the market was originally opened to competition under Gordon Brown which would inevitably lead to it being sold off, c) it was Peter Mandelson who led the review which recommended doing so and d) it was Vince Cable, as business secretary in the coalition government, who was chief architect of the legislation that led to its sell-off
Of course Cameron/Osborne were more than happy with all of this, but the fucking of Royal Mail has been very much an activity of all parties |
