I'm sorry if anyone thinks I'm "willfully misrepresenting" what they said - of
course I have no such intention.
My last word on the subject: if you go and read this report
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7385044.stm
it says that an independent enquiry has just concluded that the
"liberalisation" of our postal has services has not, on the whole, benefitted
the majority of people or achieved anything.
But the term "liberalisation" is a very dubious one - what is protectionism and
what is free competition in the context of the EU which exists to create a
protected trading environment within itself? (That's why we were originally
panicked into joining it). That is what I mean about the old left/right
liberal/protectionist labels not really making any sense any more.
