Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

They're a private company now, no?
If the government want a prioritised letter service they should provide a publicly funded prioritised letter service.
Call it People's Mail to distinguish it from the stain of royalty and provide a much better service than Royal Mail can offer.
But that assumes that New Labour are a) competent b) care about public services for the good of the average person. Neither of which assumptions stand up to scrutiny.
It'd be called Great British Mail, because we're only allowed to do things that pander to Reformtwats now
