There's Been Another Postal Strike. Like We Can Tell

Apparently there was another postal strike on Friday, as CWU members walked out again over Royal Mail "modernisation" which, according to who you listen to, is either much-needed change or job and pay cuts. But our first thought was, isn't it about time we stopped this pretence that what's happening is a series of discrete strikes? There's now a sorting and delivery backlog of 20 million items in London - most of them ours, we reckon - and the near-permanent delays surely mean we're just experiencing one, long, tedious strike. Take a look at action scheduled for next week, if you think there's any sodding point. (Image / JudyGr)
