New article about privatisation

[postpartisan]

Hey everyone, sorry to just barge onto your forum but we recently published a new critical article about the process of privitisation at the royal mail with a load of original research. Probably nothing anyone doesn't already suspect but just in case you're interested:

Privatising the Post: Too Much, Too Late

by Rebecca Gordon-Nesbitt

Of all institutions of modern times, there is, perhaps, none so pre-eminently a people's institution as is the Post Office [...] Its services are claimed exclusively by no one class; the rich, the poor, the educated, and the illiterate, and, indeed, the young as well as the old,-all have dealings with the Post Office.

– J.W. Hyde, The Royal Mail: its curiosities and romance, 1885, p. ix.

Privatising the Post: Too Much, Too Late

by Rebecca Gordon-Nesbitt

Thanks - very good analysis of where we are and how we got here. It doesn't make me feel any more secure in my position as a royal mail employee, but the more voices that speak out against the wider creeping corporatism the better.

You don't get home in time to pick up the kids just so some Rothschild can buy another super boat . Well they probably would get a bit down without it,and since you lot are scum and so are your kids how can you deny the fat cats
