SIR – The BBC coverage of the new Drax power station was typical of the sinister big government and big business alliances. Billions of pounds in subsidies for Drax shareholders, soaring electricity costs for families and pensioners – the most expensive in the “free” world.
There are unchallenged assumptions on global warming (there is none!) and the ludicrous implication that CO2 is a pollutant not a life-giving natural gas.
We must break the link between public service broadcasting, big business and Government before they destroy the country between them.
Godfrey Bloom, MEP for Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire
