With news that the Royal Mail looks set to be sold off to a Czech billionaire, we’re asking people in Cardiff whether they think it should stay in British hands, and maybe even back into British taxpayer ownership.

For me it should be, especially with Labour taking over, they should nationalise everything.
00:08
I think they should absorb everything back in, and that includes the Royal Mail, I think
00:12
all of the energy, you know, everything. I think it would be like it was in the 80s.
00:21
But it should really stay with us, shouldn't it? It should stay in Britain, not going out
00:27
to other countries, definitely.
00:30
I would hope that this government is looking very keenly at making sure it's not an unfolding
00:36
disaster. We've had enough of those. Let's not have another one.
00:39
There's a place for the private sector, right? But when you've got something like the Royal
00:42
Mail, Energy Water, where there's a monopoly, there's no competition to drive prices down.
00:47
And that's the situation the Royal Mail's in, you know. If I want to send a card to
00:52
my mam, I'm putting that through the Royal Mail, and I've got to buy a stamp. And if
00:55
there's no competition, they can charge whatever they want.
