I'm not going to get into the type of debate I had with eeazypeazy about definitions of words, but 4 years ago he agreed with strikers that the Government were ruining the Post Office.

There has been no investment, but Royal Mail profits are up, with 90% of it coming from the Post Office.

The money made has not been re-invested, cuts have been made, experienced & long serving members of staff have been encouraged into early retirement and agency staff taken on.

Assets stripped, delivered on reduced costs, meaning profits increase and when the for sale sign goes up - there are a few extra digits added to the price.

It was a clear example of the goose being fattened up for Christmas and look what is looming now?
