Some People Never Learn

Privatise the Post Office? What a good idea! After all, privatisation has worked so well for the railways and the utilities.

That the "free" marketeers would seriously propose privatising something nationalised (to use the word anachronistically, I admit) by Charles II in 1660, and representing the most significant direct link between the monarchy and every household, business, organisation and institution in the land, indicates just how utterly unconservative the "free" market ideology really is.
