SIR – Just a point of information which your readers might not know. The EU and its UK vassal state are politically hostile to fossil fuels.

They pay the World Wildlife Fund 600,000 euros per year and Friends of the Earth 1.2 million euros, just in case you thought when they appear on your TV screen they are independent.

He who pays the piper calls the tune.

Godfrey Bloom, UKIP MEP for Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire
