SIR – Now we know the truth, thanks to the United Kingdom Independence Party, proving the European Union is the driving force behind post office closures, and merging our counties to form regions of the EU.

It’s time our local politicians apologised for persistently telling us it was nothing to do with the EU.

Remember Mr Bushill- Matthews MEP writing that it was all a bizarre fantasy to even think of it when he must have known the truth all along. This doesn’t show much for their integrity.

I only hope the public will remember this when voting time comes around.

SW CLAYTON,

Worcester.
