"The government has said it will press ahead with legislation to part privatise the Royal Mail later this autumn, after a report into the future of Royal Mail recommended "urgent action" to protect the service.
It was an update of a report that Richard Hooper - a former deputy chairman of Ofcom - released in 2008 under the Labour government, though its proposals were not implemented because of political opposition."

This is depressing news. Even if the privatization is prevented again, it is still depressing to be reminded of the defensive character of every struggle the left is involved in.
