Is the Post Office doomed?

As many as 2,500 community Post Offices are set to close across the country, and the figure could rise to 6,500. Do you think the stamp of death for one of Britain’s best-loved institutions is drawing ever nearer? What, if anything, can be done to get the Post Office sorted?

    The post office is finished because the government WANTS it destroyed.
    Why do you think they appointed that boss? So he would do the dirty work of PRETENDING to want to save it whilst crushing it behind closed doors.
    We have had months and months of alternating ConTRADICTORY news about the PO's finances. one week they are doing great, the next week they need to shut another 3000 branches.
    I think that it is a sinister PLAN by government to rid the country of sending letters, thus forcing us to e-mail each other. You know how this lot love to snoop on you in ever increasing ways.
    Millions of letters a day cannot be checked. Millions of e-mails a day CAN be and ARE checked.
    only today, the news was they were going to allow speed camera 'evidence' ( and no doubt all other stuff too ) to be kept for 5 years instead of 2.
    Think about it, people - this sinister lot will do ANYTHING........and often DO.
