Letter: A lot of hot air

Published 2 July 2014

From David Moulton

I was surprised to read UK Independence Party (UKIP) candidate Howard Koch’s claims that his is a science-friendly movement (14 June, p 32).

The UKIP website reveals only one science-related policy: a pledge to scrap wind-power subsidies and other green taxes.

I might be forgiven for thinking that UKIP’s science policy is as single-issue as its foreign policy.
