  1. UnfortunatelyProfessor, the Post Office and Royal Mail are no longer connected. They haven't been since June 2012,when Royal Mail was privatised. So, saving the Postal Delivery Service is only tangential to the Post Office business. Sadly, dismantling of that service began long ago when the Conservatives got rid of Girobank, because of their private sector, market fundamentalism. Didn't want it to compete with their biggest donors. That organisation provided banking and financial services to communities with a Post Office, and government. Six days a week. Such short-sightedness, because the private sector - or to be more correct - the donors of the Conservative Party's donors - wants are prioritised over the needs of the community. No wonder the quality of services in the UK are declining, and communities end up being abandoned through policies based on ignorance and prejudice.
