Diana protests against Lib Dem-backed Royal Mail sell-off

Hull North MP Diana Johnson joined a protest outside Newland Avenue's Post Office by postal workers against Coalition plans to privatise the Royal Mail.


The Lib Dem-backed Government wants to sell off Royal Mail on the cheap due to the Coalition free markets dogma and to plug a financial hole in the British economy caused by George Osborne's three years of zero growth as Chancellor.


The Royal Mail privatisation plans would threaten delivery services, further increase prices and even open up the possibility of our Royal Mail falling under foreign ownership.
