How many post offices to close?

According to this, up to 3,000 many of them in rural areas. So the government wants to cut car use but is forcing more rural people to drive more often. OK that makes perfect sense. Actually this about more 'rationalisation' it's about making the Royal Mail fit for final privatisation.


"You cannot carry on putting a massive amount of public subsidy into this"
Prime Minister Tony Blair
