Watching the news earlier about 20% of the 9,000 rural post offices set to be closed down, making it difficult for the older generations without private transport to get their money etc.
£150 million is needed to keep them open, yet new labour cannot come up with the money, they’d rather invade foreign countries fighting illegal wars worth billions, spend £300,000 making Ian huntley feel more comfortable and waste £2.5 billion on EU membership ETC.
Its disgusting!!
Old labour were said to be “for the people”, new labour “money before the people”.

You failed to mention that’s £150 million PER YEAR to keep them open, and its rural network was making a loss of about £2m a week!
Public toilets make a loss, so what, were talking about how people’s lives are affected here, especially the elderly, the people that gave us the chance to live comfortable lives building the base of our society, that gives you 10MB internet connection, 2 toilets in your home, one on-suite, central heating that always works.
They only had a fire place where the whole family would gather round, no tv, no phone, one outside bloody freezing toilet etc.
THINK?
We should be giving the elderly the most comfortable of lives, not dissrespecting them because of a few mill, its disgusting.
YOU are part of the sick newer generation that pretends to care but couldn’t give a flying.
GO VISIT A OLD FOLKS HOME AND HELP THEM, SEE WHAT THEY GO THROUGH.
Pensions are paid into bank accounts. There’s no real need for Post Offices.
If the Government decided to spend £150 million a year on something that was
losing £2 million a week, you’d be quite happy to beat them with that stick.You all seem to have missed the point you this.
Sub postoffices going eveywhere, not just in rual areas.
Its ok if you live in a place with lots of cash points or have a car, but if you have a bank account, its useless with out cash points.
Or do people think that buses now take debit cards?
Wish I was drunk, instead of being got out of bed at 2am for cover work.

Mr Brown recently spent £7.5 Billion of our money on africa, but cant come up with a poxy £150 M.
HOW DO THE OLD FOLK OF THIS COUNTRY BENEFIT FROM THAT £7.5 Billion ?

The Government also spent MILLIONS on new computer systems which either simply don’t work OR have been withdrawn OR have yet to come into service (sometimes years past their originally promised delivery date). The list of financial cock-ups goes on and on.
This bunch of profligate arseholes that call themselves a Government, when in point of fact they’d have difficulty in organising a piss-up in a brewery, should worry about their future. Come the next General Election they might get a nasty surprise.
Thats if gordon brown allows another general election. He might just place us into the hands of the EU, as a EU state.
Possible? Anythings possible these days, especially if he continues to wipe out our forces and proper police officers…no military coup.

Alleviating world poverty isn’t a worthwhile cause? as enny fule kno; poverty breeds civil unrest, and civil unrest leads to national instability, and national instability leads to international terrorism.
Remind me again why we need to spend £150 million a year of tax payers money on rural post offices.
