Controversial poet and artist Vince Laws has decorated the post box in the gable wall of his rural cottage in protest at the proposed sell off of the Royal Mail. Earlier this year Vince’s living poem ‘This Pope is Pants’ was controversially banned from an exhibition at the Jubilee Library in Brighton during LGBT History Month in case it might offend catholics.
“Seen it all before,” said Vince. “They take public owned assets – trains, gas, water – sell them off, and we end up paying more for less while the fat cat gets fatter. Not everything in life should be defined by its monetary value. Royal Mail is part of the fabric of the nation – we don’t want to see it ripped apart.”
A spokesperson for the campaign ‘Save Our Royal Mail’ said:
“If the Royal Mail is sold off affordable prices, rural services and free postal services for our service men and women as well as vulnerable groups will disappear. The aim of our campaign is to persuade politicians that they must act now and guarantee that these vital services do not disappear. We have the support of groups and individuals representing the countryside, the blind and partially sighted, the elderly and small businesses. You can help us by getting involved. Use the social networking tools on this site to promote the campaign and most importantly write to your MP setting out your concerns.”
