Dr Madsen Pirie writes in the Daily Telegraph that the best way to handle the Royal Mail strike and poor performance is competition, except this is limited by the Royal Mail being VAT exempt.
Its competitors are not, so must face a 15% surcharge on their prices, making provision of anything other than high volume bulk mail difficult.
The answer is simple - extend the VAT exemption to all mail.
I wont hold my breath for the Tories to say this though.
