"Unfortunately, the Post Office came to be seen not as a system for moving the mail efficiently, to the benefit and profit of all, but as a money box. And so it collapsed, losing both mail and money. A lesson for us all, perhaps."
-Lord Vetinari, Going Postal

A lesson, it would appear, that the LibTories are completely unaware of.

The US postal system is going through a similar problem here, and rate changes have to be approved by an act of the legislature. Unfortunately, Congress neither cares nor wants to do anything to fix an already bankrupt system.
