Dermot asks "If the PO is recognised as a 'de facto social service', one has to
wonder why
so many have been shut down (saving money is the obvious answer, I
suppose...)?" The answer is plain: because our Government spending is
controlled by the EU, which limits what we can spend on post offices and other
services here, while siphoning off huge amounts of our taxes to the other
member states. Our money is taken to pay for museums of local culture in Bilbao
or offices with luxury bathrooms for MEPS. Or their "fact-finding" trips to
Malta and Cyprus!
Of course we have been selling off the family silver, as Pippa says - wake up,
we've been doing that for twenty years or more. This country is in long-term
decline.
