More details

The April rise in postage costs, with, international shipping in particular in mind, are detrimental to small businesses in the UK.

It is we, the British public, who are now carrying the cost of their mis-management. This is bad for Britain, bad for the economy, and ultimately will result in the collapse of Royal Mail
