About Time EU Postal Reform Is Rejected

24 February 2009 by John Cawse - © Hellmail.co.uk

The government has been keen to speed ahead with competition in the postal sector under EU policy. Royal Mail has been sliced, diced and served on a plate to its competitors, leaving it virtually run into the ground, since stamp prices and access prices for bulk mail are restricted, as is RM’s ability to introduce new products.

The pension deficit is a problem of the governments (historical) own making because for years they took a “pensions holiday”, contributing nothing to the fund.

It is money we are owed according to contemporary contracts, not some black hole which suddenly appeared mysteriously one night.

Britain should reject EU policy towards privatisation of mail services across the EU, and allow RM to remain as a public monopoly, since this is the wish of the majority of the British public.

New Labour is perverting democracy to facilitate the demands of a few established big-business owners, and in the process is subsidising the very same by dint of those low access prices. It is corruption before our eyes.
