Post Office campaign update
It's all very well stirring the emotions of readers with a passionate series of campaigning articles on Post Office closures.
But now we've given readers somewhere to aim their anger (nearly 1,000 hard copy petitions within days and many more, I reckon, to come) the next stage of the 'Think Again on Post Office Closures' campaign is making sure we do something with it.
The news reporters and news editors will get together to suggest a structured plan early next week. Prime among the possibilities is a Birmingham Mail bus to Westminster for a mixture of readers and politicians of all colours to deliver the message personally.

Hold all the demos you like but it will not do a bit of good. The only way to stop Post Office closures is to leave the EU, but this will not come about as are daft MPs are in love with Europe. Wait until they are all out of a job.
From my understanding, the EU has nothing to do with post office closures. The argument goes that the EU introduced and ensured competition between Royal Mail and other postal and delivery firms. But that has nothing to do with the Post Office, which is just the facilitator of the firms, not a competitor. Why shouldn't Royal Mail have competition?
UKIP keep coming out with this argument but it makes no sense to me.
