LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Dear Sir,
I have yet to hear my local MP, Mark Lazarowicz, show his usual brave political leadership by stridently defending his Government's policy on Post Office closures.
Mr Lazarowicz should not be ashamed to remind us that he is putting the interests of the nation before those of his few mainly elderly constituents who seem to use these small and uneconomic Post Offices as some sort of social centre instead of travelling a short distance and supporting larger branches that can provide a much wider range of services.
His opportunist opponents from other parties have killed a not inconsiderable number of trees in the production of protest leaflets when, if they were in power, they'd have done exactly the same in the face of the inevitable removal of the Post Office from the Public Sector. Even in these times of economic difficulty, complete privatisation (as we have seen with telecommunications and public transport) can only lead to improved standards of service as well as considerable profits for potential investors such as myself.
Sincerely,
John Eoin Douglas
