As we now know the fate of local post offices, surprise, surprise, I will hazard a guess that the Post Office will be privatised, once all loss-making sections are hived off - that is, local post offices.

The rest with potential of good profit will, as with other public utilities, end up in the hands of foreign investors.

Undoubtedly, some highly-placed Government individuals will suddenly find themselves encumbered with lucrative directorships and/or consultancies as happened under previous Conservative administrations.
