Further erosion of postal service

We seem to be holding a sort of hypocrisy Olympics under the name of a local
government election.
The Conservative leaflet "Fresh Start" echoes the Libdems in pretending to be
opposed to Post Office closures and cuts in service. They avoid admitting that
the closures have been imposed by the EU, into which the Conservatives took
us. They continue to support membership despite having to surrender our
national sovereignty. Of course they have their fat cats up there getting
lavish lifestyles.
The Conservatives also claim they are "campaigning to protect our local pubs".
How? The major factor in reduced pub turnover is the smoking ban, which again
issues directly from the EU. When I was in France and Spain I noticed that bars
and cafés there have a choice as to whether or not to permit smoking, and most
of them still do - unless a customer in there at the time objects. Here
publicans are being subjected to massive fines - £5,000+ - which are surely out
of all proportion.
Not one of the election leaflets put through my door admits that fortnightly
refuse collection is, likewise, a result of the massive EU fines for landfill.
