n AT Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday, July 2, Tony Blair said the Government wasn't trying to force pensioners to use post offices to draw their pensions.

That's just as well, since his Government is pressing on with the closures of up to 3,000 local post offices, and cutting income to those that struggle to survive.

The Government's actions will force the less fortunate and our pensioners to give up their pension and benefit books for other methods of payment.

It's obvious that Tony Blair and his rows of nodding dogs are disregarding grey power.
