Dear Ian
               This is the letter that I received from Mr Nigel Farage following him being pulled from the Question time progremm. I would appreciate it if this could be circulated as widely as possible. 
Anyone wanting to question me they can reach me at  stockton@ukip.org
Many thanks

Sir 
Corus' steelworks at Redcar, near Middlesborough, "Teesside Cast Products", is to be closed ("mothballed" is the euphemism)  It is Britain's last great steelworks and an essential national resource. Without it, we are at the world's mercy.
 
Corus is owned by Tata Steel of India.   Recently, Tata received "EU-carbon-credits" worth up to £1bn, ostensibly so that steel-production at Redcar would not be crippled by the EU's "carbon-emissions-trading-scheme".  By closing the plant at Redcar - and not making any "carbon-emissions" - Tata walks off with £1bn of taxpayers' money, which it will invest in its steel-factories in India, where there is no "carbon-emissions-trading-scheme".
 
There's more.  The EU's "emissions-trading-scheme" (ETS) is modelled on instructions from the "International Panel on Climate-Change" (IPCC) of the United Nations Organisation. The Chairman of the IPCC is one Dr Rajendra K.Pachauri, a former railway-engineer, who obtained this post by virtue of his being Chairman of the "Tata Energy-Research Institute" - set up by Tata Steel.
 
UKIP's leader in the EU's "parliament", Nigel Farage, revealed these data in a speech at Strasbourg, on 10th February, and was due to appear in the BBC's "Question-Time" programme, from Middlesborough, on 18th February, where the closure of the Redcar-plant was inevitably discussed.  Almost at the last minute, his invitation to join the "Question-Time" panel was cancelled, without explanation.
 
An article, on the subject, by Neil Hamilton, which was due to appear in this week's Sunday Express, has also been "pulled". 
Yours etc
