Eventually it will privatiseand destroy it like it has destroyed everything else.

I was lucky enough to be brought up in a family where I had an aunt and an uncle who were 50 years and 49 years working in the post office. They were great people and never missed work. My uncle was a hero of the country. He used to deliver cheques to people and if he thought there was an alcoholic in the house he would hold back the cheque for a day until the following week. What will the Government do in the future? It will privatise it and it will not only deliver the letters but deliver the vodka to the alcoholic as well because there is a profit in it.
