Thousands more post offices could disappear if the Royal Mail doesn't win the contract to handle the card account used for issuing pensions and benefits. The Observer reports on it here, pointing out that the government may delay its decision until after the crucial Glenrothes by-election.
You may ask why the Royal Mail is having to compete for its own business. The answer is that the government no longer runs this part of the mail service: the EU does. Under EU regulations the government is compelled to put the contract out for competitive tender.
You won't hear about this fact either from the politicians or the British media. The former won't speak of it because it would reveal just how much of our sovereignty they have given away to Brussels; the latter won't because they're ignorant and useless.
