Betrayed: Kirkcaldy sub-postmaster writes blistering letter to PM over closure of thousands of post offices

All I have been told is that I'm being closed down because there is another post office within a mile of mine.

But there is no direct bus route between this area and the other post office, which is in a supermarket and often has queues of 45 minutes' waiting time or more – and that's before this closure plan was announced.
If I need to give justification for my post office to remain open, it would be this – that the public deserve a first-class service not a second-class one.

Their excuses for closure are lame in many cases where sales figures speak for themselves.

This is a well targetted letter, for it goes right to the one person who could have done something to stop these closures .... the problem is that brown doesn't have the balls or the gumption to stand up to Brussels, for it is the EU that is behind all of these closures, with their competition policies....and thanks to that they are slowly wiping out anything that was of value, and along with it the British way of life.

Stop Common Purpose

This is just another example of the deliberate EU policy of destruction. The EU has helped to destroy the British fishing industry, manufacturing industry and coal industry. And now they are targeting the Post Office and pastoral agriculture.
