Dear Editor,


I am saddened that the Tetley brewery in Leeds is to close next year, albeit long forecast.


It is a great shame that almost 200 years of brewing on the site is to end, particularly when statistics apparently show real ale is performing better than other beer styles.


Yes, trading conditions are difficult but what angers me is that much of this results from endless rules and regulations spewing forth from both the EU and this Labour government.


It cannot be the same brew from Marston, water from the Wharfe will not brew the same beer as the Trent.  Magnificent though both be.  


Cask ales should be tax free, they are part of our heritage and do not contribute to binge drinking problems and would help save the traditional pub.  


Greg Mulholland, John Grogan and I cannot save the pub and brewing industry alone but my wife says I'm doing my bit.

 


Yours faithfully

Dear Editor,


Nigel Farage has foolishly alienated our junior bank clerk vote and driven damp rags into the arms of the Liberal Democrats, admittedly their natural home, with his derogatory remarks about President Van Rumpy Pumpy.

Dear Sir

 

Your one great newspaper now has an environment editor who thinks CO2 is a ‘pollutant’. Does The Times no longer insist on any form of formal education for their correspondents?

Dear Editor,


I would like to point out to local people that they still have time to voice their objections to the proposed Spaldington wind farms.


This is something I would urge all sensible residents to do as a matter of urgency before it is too late and these dreadful and useless eyesores are foisted on us.


Formal objections are already in from a number of town and parish councils to both Spaldington Airfield and Spaldington Common wind farms and the more voices that are raised the better.


Wind farms are highly inefficient and I, for one, will do all in my power to continue exposing them for what they are -  the witchcraft of the modern age.


The closing date for objections was initially last month but this has now been extended. For details on how to register your objection go to the Stop Spaldington Wind Farms website - www.spaldingtonstop.org.uk


 Yours sincerely

Dear Sir
I was surprised to see John Redwood advocate EIB loans for the United Kingdom.  In order to obtain one, commitment must be given to furtherance of the EU project.  See www.eib.org/projects/cycle/applying_loan/index.htm

What actually is Conservative Party policy on Europe?

Dear Sir

 

I think everyone now knows they have been the subject of a confidence trick on climate change Al Gore, Prof Jones, Pachauri, the BBC, IPCC and now the New Zealand Climate database has all fiddled the figures.

 

I know a scam when I see one and I think ordinary Yorkshire folk do to.

Dear Sir, 


Reports that the brothers, who carried out the shocking torture attack on two boys at Edlington, are likely to claim their human rights have been violated would be laughable if it was not so serious.


But it does highlight the ridiculous situation this country finds itself with human rights legislation. 


How many more evil terrorists and murderers have to win their battle to stay here or successfully challenge court orders before the people of this country rise up and say 'enough is enough'?


In this particularly sad case the two brothers were apparently doomed from birth and never stood a chance but they carried out a dreadful attack and a senior British judge has handed down the penalty. 


Such decisions should not be tossed aside - in a move which by the way will cost us tens of thousands of pounds - by a court in Strasbourg.


Yours sincerely

Dear Sir

I really must protest when Anatole Kaletsky claims no political parties are supporting the City.  It is simply not true.  I have been fighting the City’s corner in the Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee with some very vigorous questioning of the Commissioners Designate, Monsieur Barnier in particular.  They are on the web for all to see.  I was taken aside by the Conservative Party committee members for rocking the boat.  That Labour, Liberal Democrats and Conservatives all concede regulatory responsibility to the EU gives a flavour of how low those three parties have sunk.  So there is a party, which came second overall in the June elections, sadly no newspapers will whisper it’s name until after May 6th.  Shame on the press.

Yours faithfully

Dear Sir

I was interested to read Professor Philpot’s piece on Monday “the Great Debate”.  But debate about what?  All the main political issues are the provenance of the European Union.  Immigration, human rights, Agriculture, Fishing, Energy, Employment Law and many others.  Westminster has no jurisdiction anymore in these matters.  All the so called main parties believe in a federal Europe of some kind.

UKIP came second in the country last June so where is our seat in the debate?  Without us it is a sham and voters will see through it.

Dear Editor, 

Can anyone help me?  I have been trying to find out about the charity Age Concern.  Who funds it?  What is its role?  

How much money does CEO Andrew Harrop earn?  After their recent failure to help Northampton couple Jean and Derek Randall what is the point of them other than to send me expensive glossy magazines?

Yours Godfrey Bloom

Dear Editor


I was fascinated to hear David Cameron's speech this weekend and am particularly fascinated to learn how he thinks his aims for change can actually be achieved.


Just how does he intend to take away responsibility from the European Parliament for major matters such as farming, fishing, immigration VAT, employment legislation etc etc.


There is a whole raft of issues that the government of this country has no say over as we have relentlessly given away our powers to the EU. 


I am not sure whether Cameron fully understands that. And I'm not sure whether he is just naive or incredibly stupid.

Dear Editor


Following the latest terrorist near miss over Detroit, it is difficult to believe the money being spent on counter insurgency in Afghanistan would not be better spent on intelligence gathering in Europe and America.  


This would enable the western democracies to start taking the initiative, without which terrorism cannot be defeated.  We have now too many examples where the perpetrators are home grown. 


We also have to mature enough socially to understand that whilst all Muslims are not air terrorists, air terrorists are Muslim.  Given there will always be limited resources for security personnel the focus must be on where the threat is likely.  If necessary special security checkpoints for them alone, observing carefully their dignity and preserving their goodwill. 


There is a very widespread unspoken feeling amongst the British that random searching of one in eight non-muslim, middle aged businessmen or tourist housewives to satisfy politically correct computer programmes is a gross misuse of resources.

Dear Sir, 


Interesting is it not, that with China’s outrageous human rights record, especially where Tibet or the Falun Gong are concerned, the Foreign Office and Prime Minister remain mute.  


Yet they decide to go to the wall for a convicted drug dealer.  What a weird set of priorities.

Dear Sir 


Baroness Amos seems to think that climate science is ‘settled’ and that thinking people have ‘moved on’. She clearly has no understanding of science. It is never settled. New information breaks almost daily. Most of the dynamic new thinking is coming from Australia, led by Professor Ian Plimer.  


The world climate has been static for 12 years now in spite of the growing man made CO2 emissions. She must recognise this and ‘move on’ herself.

I am delighted that the Grimsby Smoked Fish Producers Association has won special European Status. 


May I take this opportunity of thanking the EU and the Common Fishery Policy for all the unstinting help and support the industry has received since Edward Heath handed it over to them.

Dear Sir 


The exclusive Times survey has confirmed that the majority of British people do not believe that Man has caused global warming. 


In its accompanying leader it denigrates everyone who shares view as 'global village idiots.' Including, presumably, the 30,000 independent scientists who also support this view.


It is precisely this sort of oafish approach that re-inforces such scepticism.

I wonder if I can ease the mind of Chimpoo Trakullertsthien on global warming.  The hottest year on record was 1934 the world has been cooling since 1998 and he is getting hot and bothered for no reason.  The world was warmer in both the Roman period and Medieval warm period.  Just part of nature’s natural cycle.

To Selby Times

Dear Editor

I would like to congratulate the Selby Times for again sponsoring the Selby in Bloom competition.


It is a delight to see the profusion of colours in the town, which gladden the heart, even on the greyest of summer days.


As 'Bloom in Selby' I trust that this competition will continue to run for many years and bring delight to both the competitors and those who benefit from their efforts.


Yours

Dear Sir

I notice Mr Edward McMillan-Scott suggests that the European Parliament “don’t take any notice of UKIP”. He is of course quite right. Neither do they take any notice of the French, Dutch or Irish electorate. We are in good company.

Only UKIP voted against Romania and Bulgaria joining the ‘Sans Frontiers’ EU.

Their ascension was sponsored heavily by the government and the European Parliamentary Conservative Party. In the light of recent events I think the people should know that before June 4th! Read More

Dear Sir

Energy policy, like most other things these days, is the province of Brussels Bureaucrats and the European “Parliament”.


We are taking decision’s involving the spending of millions of tax payers’ money, risking thousands of jobs and perpetuating the situation where the people of the United Kingdom pay more for their energy than any other country in the industrialized world.


Yet there are many questions still unanswered. Perhaps your readers can help. I do not pretend to know, yet I am suppose to have a modest input into the decision making process.


The questions I see are as follows:

Dear Sir

One of the great pleasures of being an MEP, believe me there are fewer than you might expect, is an involvement with schools in the constituency.


I help one particular school organize its lower sixth visits to various professional practices and industries. A preliminary look at life before young people are too committed to any particular line of vocational study.


Occasionally one un-covers a stunning piece of information from executives at a very senior level who let things slip when not protected by their public relation minders. Last June produced a real stunner, the chief scientific officer of a major energy company told us that unless the political green posturing changed at European Level. (Energy policy like much else is the provenance of Brussels) The lights would go out in 2015.

Dear Sir
Perhaps you will permit me a few lines, as a professional financial economist to respond
to articles by professional politicians giving there views on the recent credit crunch. In
2004 after the ENRON crisis the EU endorsed a new mark to market rule. They are
known as Basel II in the financial services industry, it is embodied in two directives
2006/48 and 2006/49. I will not bore your readers with the details but broadly they insist
on a ‘daily solvency statement’
