I woke up before sunrise and didn't make tea. Too noisy.
I was thinking about the proposed closure of the Sorting Office at Malmesbury, my home town, as reported in Thursday's Wiltshire Gazette. Local people are said to be disappointed.
It’s a shame about the jobs going, but at the last general election the clear majority of people in North Wiltshire voted for less taxes and more efficiency. Clearly the subject of local jobs for local people wasn’t so important then.
Of course, in real communities, real people need real jobs.
I vaguely remember that’s what socialism used to be about in the bad old days.
