IS the government trying to ruin the country altogether?

It has already killed off all our small shops and businesses with high overheads and silly rules and regulations brought in by Europe.

Now, it wants to kill off our post offices.

It seems to be doing all the things that the majority of people in this country don't want. Why?

We never wanted to be told what we can and cannot do by a European parliament.

We don't want a single currency and we don't want to be classed as Europeans. We are British and this is Britain.

So the government should listen to the people instead of following its own ambitions and should stop the rot now before it is too late - and leave our post offices alone.

GLADYS ROBINSON (Mrs), Edge End, Great Harwood.
