Postal Competition, do you support this?

Everyone is saying that Royal Mail are facing competition in the postal market, they are not. The Government has signed Royal Mail up to an uncompetiotive system that effectively forces the company to subsidise its competitors. There is no on street competition to Royal Mail, there is no alternive national mail infrastructure to Royal Mail. Royal Mail are the only company servicing the postal market that must guarentee a six day delivery span to evry address in the uk. Is that fair? Is it fair that TNT, DHL, UPS, Deutche Post, Hays DX, to name a few are allowed by the rules to go along to large companies and pick their mail up. They even supply envelopes with their logo on them. All these companies do is move the mail five or six miles to the nearest Royal Mail Mail Centre and dump it at Royal Mails door. After taking around half of the money for each letter these companies expect Royal Mail to sort the letters, move them around the country and deliver them. Competition? Aye so it is!Postal Competition, do you support this?
I totally agree.

It's ridiculous that Royal Mail agrees to sort this letters and parcels at a loss. They are losing money every time they sort anything for the competition.

Most people who don't support the strike say that they will only lose business to the 'competition', the funny thing is that the competition needs Royal Mail!Postal Competition, do you support this?
None of the companies you mention will deliver a letter from lands end to john o groats for the price of a first class stampPostal Competition, do you support this?
since the government appointed a Regulator and formed Postcomm, the Royal Mail has been fighting a losing battle. the government have,in effect, signed Royal Mail away by opening up the market to tnt etc to cherrypick the best customers and charge less. this will stop as soon as Royal Mail goes under, then competitors charges will skyrocket and there will be no alternatives for posting.
