He said: “I believe that the sale will lead to worse and more expensive post services and a closure of the post Roger is totally opposed to the privatisation of the Royal Mail and the Post Office.
Roger has previously called for a complete suspension of Atos assessments, which he described as “a benefits grab that destroys lives” back in November 2012.

He said: “I believe that the sale will lead to worse and more expensive post services and a closure of the post offices that rural areas rely on, along with fat profits for the banks which are orchestrating the sale.”
Roger has written to the Minister responsible for the UK’s post services, Michael Fallon MP, expressing his concerns about the effects of the sale and his belief that this vital part of the nation’s heritage should not be flogged off to make money for the private sector.
In his letter, Roger wrote:
“My constituents and I are opposed to the sell-off because it will result in price increases and a decrease in rural services, as well as a possible loss of Post Offices. This will have severe consequences for businesses whose survival depends on Royal Mail, as well as rural or isolated areas which rely on their local Post Office. It will also mean the loss of a treasured part of our national heritage. People value the Royal Mail’s public-service tradition, and do not want to see this destroyed and their local Post Office closed down to make yet more cash for Goldman Sachs and UBS. I noted with interest that these two banks are expected to collect fees of £30m from the £3bn sell-off, and I do not feel that this is remotely justifiable.”
