I totally and utterly agree with these comments from Roger Helmer. Martin Beckford over at the Telegraph recently asked, what on earth would the Church of England hierarchy talk about if they couldn’t talk about their climate change initiatives? I have often recently wondered the same. Now that a judge has declared that belief in man-made climate [...]
Roger Helmer says Anglican hierarchy has dropped the gospel in favour of 'the new religion of climate alarmism' A Tory MEP has accused the Church of England of having "abandoned religious faith entirely and taken up the new religion of climate alarmism instead". Roger Helmer, who resigned from the Tory frontbench in Europe when the Westminster leadership dumped its promised referendum on...
Left Foot Forward reported today that Tory MEP Roger Helmer is organising a “climate change sceptics’ conference” in Brussels. The list of speakers is a Who’s Who of climate change denial – people with an axe to grind in one hand and a distinct lack of peer-reviewed science in the other. But one name on the list [...]
Have humans changed the climate? That was the question posed today, Wednesday Nov 18th in the European Parliament, Brussels, at a Conference hosted by Conservative MEP Roger Helmer. Nine eminent speakers from Europe and North America included Prof. Ross McKitrick, the man who demolished the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)’s “Hockey Stick” graph; Prof Fred Singer...
Conservative MEP Roger Helmer is today hosting a "climate sceptics' conference" in Brussels. The news once again undermines David Cameron's claims to that the electorate can "Vote Blue, Go Green". James Delingpole, wrote yesterday on his Telegraph blog, that: "Today I’m off on the Eurostar to Brussels (”a carbon neutral journey” it ...
In Roger’s latest podcast on Climate Change, he comments, “The truth is the public are sick to death of being harangued and abused and blamed and increasingly taxed over the issue of climate change when many of them can see the climate is not changing very much and they have serious and in my view well [...]
It's been a disappointing few weeks for Euroscepticism and for the Eurosceptic movement but The TaxPayers' Alliance are leading the way in consolidating popular unhappiness at the EU. Better than talking about sovereignty and other vital (but less earthy) topics, talk about the economic cost and waste of the European project. From this Friday (20th November) cinemas will be running this advert: The...
Here is my latest recommended reading list. Please note, I do not necessarily agree with these posts and articles, however I found them sufficiently interesting to warrant a recommendation: Christopher Booker says that the EU Commission have stayed in office illegally. JuliaM says we must never get rid of Jury Service, and has a good example of why. Roger Helmer MEP has a good piece about the Bureaucracy...
One of the most respected Eurosceptic Tory MPs today launched a campaign for a referendum on the Lisbon treaty in a direct challenge to the party leadership which last week said it would not make good David Cameron's pledge for a poll on the issue. In an email to constituents announcing his intention to campaign for a referendum, Douglas Carswell said: "I want you to know that I have begun a...
Back in June, Frank Swain and I argued for evidence-based policy ahead of the European Elections , and called for greater scrutiny of the various parties' policies on science. Inevitably for a pair of science bloggers pretending to be Guardian journalists, we were ignored. The election came and went, people elected a parade of fringe characters, and the result for science policy can be seen in the...

Why am I not remotely surprised by this? David Cameron has been given an 18-month deadline by a powerful band of Eurosceptic Tory MPs to renegotiate Britain's relationship with Brussels or face an "all-out war" for a referendum, it emerged yesterday. This came after Cameron said he would include the promise of a referendum in the Tory party's 2015 election manifesto should the EU "move...
Tony Blair was no enthusiast for Proportional Representation. He gave it to new bodies to indicate that he didn't think they mattered. But his introduction of the party list system for Strasbourg, while certainly having that motivation, also had another. The old European Parliamentary Labour Party had been a rich seam of dissent over many long years. Almost all of it was duly purged. To that end, the...
The Federal Union blog05 November 2009Six pledges by David CameronThe speech by Conservative leader David Cameron yesterday dropped the previous commitment to a referendum on the Lisbon treaty and replaced it with six pledges that he aims to achieve in the course of the next parliament. (Read the speech here.) Arch-opponents of the EU like Daniel Hannan and Roger Helmer have protested about the
Conservative MEP's Daniel Hannan and Roger Helmer quit their frontbench posts to concentrate on campaigning for a referendum on Europe after David Cameron said it was pointless to hold a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty now it has been signed. The comments by a French government minister who branded the Tories' new European policy "pathetic" may even help them in the short term polls given...
