The health service is far from profitable, should we get rid of that too? How about disability benefits, they're not profitable for me, but I damn well understand the state NEEDS to play its role there because it's not going to be undertaken by the private sector. Just like I believe we should keep the post office because it's not profitable but necessary.

For less than £2 a year I'm happy to keep the service open since so many people depend on it.
