“I never thought i would say this but its a SHAME that Royal mail wasn't privatised from the start. Because then maybe some decent shareholders would do something about the way they are treating people. The ONLy shareholder is Government but it sits back and let's RM get away with whatever it likes. MPs as stakeholders will do nothing about post offices closures all they are interested in is keeping money in the national purse for kitchens, expenses oh and £3 million payouts to their mates at Royal mail. Shame on them all.”

“Molly get a life you sad woman, Gilroy is a fake just like the rest of the Labour party”

“where were you all when i said me and my cat would suffer because you are all using email ( such as this ) to write ? . cat food is now up by 40% !”

“The government is presiding over the wanton destruction of the UK Post Office network- hundreds of closures in addition to privatising Royal Mail by the back door.

All we've seen is a reduction in quality of service, increases in prices, and a lessening of pay, terms and conditions, benefits and pensions for all those employed in the UK postal industry.

New Labour- not for labour”

“well , i for one will still vote for her. she is my inspiration in life and for my comments on here.”

“Labour got though the last election by using the slogan say no to privatisation, but then backed the plan of opening the business to commercial freedom ? too late now to save the Post Offices, you let them go a long time ago, its no good using the closures as a plan for your next campaign, because you have already sold them down the river !!”

“GILROY SUPPORTS LOCAL POST OFFICES?!?!? When did this conversion take place? Not when voting on the bill in the House Commons, that's for sure. A simple inspection of New Labour wasters voting records will quickly dispel any of her desperate vote buying antics. Gilroy must think this is the 18th century when MPs could get away with lying about matters like this - not any more, dear. We can easily find out whether your words are empty, whatever the subject may be: from closing local POs to "John Lewis" expense claim details. Perhaps you should have thought about your constituents (like you're meant to do) back when all was rosy in the Pro-rich and Pro-foreigner Labour party instead of voting as instructed by the Blair, Brown or the Whips. But what can we expect after 11 years of ultra-Tory New Labour? Never mind, the electorate will soon WIPE New Labour off the political map forever - then coming 5th behind the Greens and the BNP will look like Christmas has come early... for everyone.”

“I cant believe this headline! Linda Gilroy you voted for the post offices to close!! Changing your colours to hold on to your seat!! You aren't fooling anybody with your comments. We the public know that this is all just a stunt so you get noticed more in the commons. Did anybody actually see Linda Gilroys fight for the Post Offices in the Live at the commons? She has 3 people listening to her and it wasnt even a debate in the commons, just in some vacant hall! Empty words, Empty promises.....”

“Nobody moaned when postage stamps started to be sold in supermarkets pay by phone, pensions paid by direct payment etc etc ..surely this was the first step leading to closures of many post offices it don`t take a brain surgeon to work that out surely !”
