If it works, don’t fix it

From Christopher Davey.
A COUPLE of months ago, I suggested (with others) that the Jersey Competition Regulatory Authority was a luxury that this Island could not afford.
I said that it had thrown a massive spanner into the works of our telecommunications industry, and appeared to be about to do the same with our postal service. That it should be quietly wheeled away – something that the States is fully empowered to do – and that steps should then be taken to unscramble the damage that it had already done.
Up to now we have enjoyed a postal service that not only has functioned pretty darned well, but it has also seemed, probably uniquely, to be making a profit.
Thanks to the JCRA, it looks as if mayhem is about to ensue. We shall lose our daily deliveries, probably some of our rural post offices, and certainly a massive number of jobs.
Can we really be such crass idiots? Mind you, we’ve had a lot of practice. As my Dad used to say: ‘If it works, don’t fix it.’
