No, I said the EU directives were responsible for the privatisation of Royal Mail. Give it time and the rest of the postal services in the EU will go the same way.
Don’t think the letter side was privatised. Could be wrong though.

The government completed the disposal of its shareholding on 12 October 2015, when a 13% stake was sold for £591m and another 1% was given to employees. In total the government raised £3.3bn from the full privatisation of Royal Mail.

So other companies handle yer average letters now? I DONT THINK SO, TARQUINIUS.
 
You did, you claimed the EU forced them to do it.

Okay, it was badly worded but the fact remains the same: the EU put in place directives that will lead to privatisation of postal services in all EU countries eventually.

Of course, you could naively believe that the EU, who are pushing for the introduction of TTIP which critics claim would lead to the privatisation of services like the NHS, aren't somehow in favour of privatisation of postal services. But that would be very naive.

Badly worded? <laugh>

TTIP is dead, it would never have gone through anyway. How can you be so upset about it when no one can see the contents?
