Fair point that there are plenty of smaller shareholders but I understand that the largest shareholders were hedge fund companies that were registered in offshore accounts.
True also about the post office being publically owned , at the moment. However, there has been a big move towards the royal mail holdings being broken up and privatised as part of a 'modernising' agenda. There is also no correlation between the profits of the company being reflected in either the poor wages and conditions of the staff, or the inflated £1 million salary of the the Chief Executive, and an income for any other public services.
