SIR – May I add a little more evidence in support to the many who are so rightly blaming the European Union for the closures of our post offices and the destruction of the Royal Mail.
Instructions from Brussels to foreign secretary David Milliband dated November 28, 2007, leaves no doubt that the EU is in control of our postal services. It unequivocally says: “The transformation programme will involve POL (Post Office Limited) reducing the size of its post office network by around 2,500 branches.” The reason the EU and its supporters keep denying it is simply because they don’t want us to know the truth.
