The decision by the greasy oil salesman Cameron to sell off the Royal Mail reminds one of the bleak days of Thatcher.
Royal Mail is part of the fabric of the nation – we don’t want to see it ripped apart. The Government is now selling off the Royal Mail through issuing shares to the unproductive
share greedy money men in the City of London.

The Royal Mail provides a hugely valued universal service. It charges the same to post a letter from Aberdeen to Penzance as it does from London to Manchester. This along with
free postal services for our service men and women as well as vulnerable groups could well disappear.
Not only that, but it provides a lifeline to rural communities. Post Offices are often the cornerstones of remote villages, and provide the space for residents to meet and conduct their affairs, particularly for older people.
And Royal Mail makes a profit. £403 million to be precise. It is an asset to the UK, worth an estimated £20 billion. But the government wants to sell it off, for just £3 billion!
The government is giving away a public utility so that large corporations can turn a profit. The public has not been consulted about this, it was not in any party manifesto. The sell-off is a travesty!
Greed and the desire yet proven again that the Tories don't give a damn about the ordinary White working class of Britain but are desperately happy to fill the feeding troughs of the over-fed pigs in the City of London.
Thatcher destroyed Britain's mining industry (and many others!), when she crippled and then brought down the NUM. At that time I remember the NF stood solidly with striking miners, and designed a leaflet which went out in the Yorkshire mining towns such as Featherstone, Castleford, Wakefield and many others.

These once thriving communities, built around a working mine are now just dust-bowls and the only thing that thrives are the activities of the alien drug dealers from Leeds and Bradford, selling hard drugs to a youth with nowhere to go when once they had a job, a hard job its true, but a guaranteed future when they left school.
Empty are the Miner's Social Clubs; the Union sponsored family trips out and street parties.
Thatcher and Thatcherism pulled the guts out of these communities and not just in Yorkshire.
Scotland, the North-east and the Midland mining area were all destroyed by Thatcher's naked and all-devouring Capitalism.
Capitalism like its twin brother Communism are the two sides of the same coin. It is my belief that the National Front must champion the cause of the Trades Unions, and as a start, re-nationalise and restore the Mining Industry to the vital place it did hold in our National Productivity.
These mines have vast reserves of coal and yet we are now importing it from Belgium and Poland at prices which impact badly on our economy.
