I'd also be against public money being used to bolster other unprofitabe businesses, such as pubs, which many people also see as being at the heart of their communities.
It's a shame when they close, but market forces, and the numbers of people actually using them, decide what is, and what isn't, a viable business proposition.

Are you selectively reading Rindi?
Why can't we let the market work and actually allow them to compete? There are so many restrictions on the sub-post offices they can't compete. Allow them to deal with private carriers, sell more products and services. If they're still losing loads of money after that then fair enough, but at least give it a chance.
