Postal service Royal Mail is unable to ship letters and parcels overseas due to a severe “cyber incident”. Customers are advised not to attempt to send mail internationally while the problems persist and to expect delays or disruptions to packages already sent.

Following the news of the cyber incident , twitter has been trending with the hashtags #Royal Mail as members of the public have been expressing their anger with the company with regards to the terrible service the past few weeks.

 

Individuals have been expressing their outrage with the government for allowing the Royal Mail to be privatised when it ought to be a public service that is owned by the government to serves British citizens. Jeremy Corbyn was among those people and has been advocating for it to be nationalised again , “it’s time to put Royal Mail back where it belongs : in public hands”.

 

 

Twitter users have been sharing that the Royal Mail, along with gas and electricity, the British Rail and many other companies need to be renationalised, as they should be “run for the people and by the people not for profit”.

 

 

 

Twitter user ‘Robin Hood’ highlighted that “ Most of the problems facing us today in the NHS, Royal mail, cost of living, are caused by people voting Conservatives”.

 

It comes at a difficult time for Royal Mail. The postal service has been embroiled in a bitter dispute with the Communication Workers Union over jobs, pay, and conditions for the past year. Social media platforms have been flooded with complaints from Royal Mail customers relating to poor service during the strike.

 

Many individuals have been sharing their terrible experiences with their Christmas post arriving after the New year’s, even if it was sent 1st class.

 

 

Individuals have expressed their outrage with their gifts and cards arriving a month later, demonstrating how the service continues to deteriorate with the strikes and now the latest ‘cyber incident’.
