The Donald: putting UK politicians to shame
Dear Editor
UK politicians promised to stop illegal immigration and send them back. It never happened. On his first day in office, Donald Trump has declared ‘a national emergency’ at the US border with Mexico and would send troops to the border ‘to repel the disastrous invasion of our country’. The Donald will increase the US production of oil and gas, saying ‘drill, baby, drill’, and drive prices down; UK politicians are closing down UK oil and gas assets. The Donald will withdraw from the Paris climate deal and revoke the electric vehicle mandate, thus saving the US auto industry. UK politicians blindly follow the mega-expensive climate bible as industries haemorrhage workers. UK politicians only promise to cut the numbers employed in the public sector, but The Donald will do it.

Energy independence is crucial for the nation
Dear Editor
Jonathan Leake’s Daily Telegraph article of January 22 indicates that the UK’s 30GW of wind farms produced 89GW of gas turbine generators, fired either by natural gas or Hydrogen. When are those gas turbine generators going to be ordered?
If Grid Maximum Demand (MD) approaches 90GW by the early 2030s, much of the minimum base load of around 25GW could be carried by SMRs (Small Modular nuclear Reactors) leaving gas turbine generators to back wind and solar farms. 
The capital cost of SMRs per TWh delivered is lower than that of Wind and Solar; also, SMRs don’t need back-up power. A Capacity Factor of over 90 per cent is attributed to them, along with a longer life expectancy than gas turbines, solar and wind farms, and they can be made in the UK.
For now, around 30GW of aging nuclear and gas-fired power stations are due to retire by the mid 2030s, by which time loads of roadside EV charging points (around 600,000), along with over a million heat pumps, plus a few data centres and 1.5million houses, will have been added. At the current rate, we can expect power cuts within a few years and that emerging power gap should have been obvious before.
An additional 10GW of cross channel interconnectors will be nowhere enough to make up the shortfall in generation capacity, when wind and solar minimums occur, at times when surplus wind and solar power capacity is no greater on the Continent than here. 
In any event, we need to be energy independent of the Continent, not just to avoid penal tariffs, but in case an enemy decides to blow up over 50GW of cables in the channel. 
Clearly, the imminent CAN Bill will address none of that, and MPs should be looking to defer net zero targets based on a thorough feasibility study, which seems to be missing.

Gratitude for TCW’s unwavering exposure of the grooming gang scandal
Dear Editor
Thank you for your unwavering commentaries concerning the ‘grooming gangs’ scandal. What a dam-busting moment Elon Musk gave us, by calling out this atrocity to an international audience. Our national trauma, usually so readily hushed up, should be exposed. It’s a painful subject, but we need the truth; a full inquiry is necessary. 
There are so many questions that need to be answered: how many of these gangs were/are offending? How many girls are still at risk? Are the victims now getting the justice they deserve? Unfortunately, our wet rag of a Prime Minister would rather crush the people asking inconvenient questions than offer any kind of honesty. 
He is of that lawyer class who relish in the human rights of terrorists, with no qualms about jeopardizing the security of his own country. It’s obvious that mass immigration has put women and children more at risk. How many girls’ lives were destroyed after being gang raped, Prime Minister? What kind of twisted managerial decision-maker came up with the description of ‘consenting child prostitute’? 
An advocate for victims, Maggie Oliver, helps girls pick up the pieces of their shattered lives. She’s described their need to overcome feelings of blame, the need to hear ‘it’s not your fault’. They have endured, by all measures, extreme victim-blaming.  
They must never be forgotten, and those who failed them, those who covered up crimes or obstructed justice, must be held to account.

Compulsory re-wilding – a wild and unwise idea
Dear Editor
The Climate and Nature Bill had its second reading in Parliament on January 24, 2025. If it becomes law, it will bring in the compulsory re-wilding of more than 30 per cent of the UK and place controls on travel and consumption. It will cause starvation and economic catastrophe.
Net Zero already massively benefits Communist China, which continues to build coal-fired power stations and produce steel from blast furnaces, both now banned in Britain.
There is no climate crisis, or man-made climate change. Carbon dioxide makes up only 0.04 per cent of the atmosphere. Without carbon dioxide, life on earth would end.
John Clauser won the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics and has confirmed that there is no climate crisis. Unlike Greta Thunberg, Barack Obama, Bill Gates, Al Gore or Ed Miliband, he is a scientist.

A million rubber boats – who is footing the bill?
Dear Editor
Using estimates, there are possibly over a million migrants who came across the Channel by rubber boat.
Each ‘trip’ is costed at $5000 (again, using estimates). Who is paying this? How does a foot-weary, tent-dweller, soup kitchen customer manage to save this sum in impoverished countries? In fact, none of them appear malnourished.
Do they get a loan? Have they mortgaged their huts?
Perhaps, when the Starm Troopers crush the gangs and Lame Lammy Duck sanctions their bank accounts, they will be able to trace these magical funds?

Trump is the saviour we all need
Dear Editor
There can be few, if any, occasions that I can remember when I have been brought to tears by a speech from an incoming politician. Perhaps, that was because the person in question, the new leader of the Free World, was not first and foremost a politician. He was, and is, a businessman with his heart in the right place.
My tears were brought through seeing honesty, but they were just as much augmented by my frustration that this man is not in control of my country, the UK. Self-pity being a terrible trait, I am therefore slightly ashamed of myself.
We watched a man that had quite possibly been cheated out of office once, and since has been hounded by a corrupt political and judicial system, at last be buoyed up by the will of the honest American people who had been swept him back into office.
Did he gloat? Will he take revenge?
I got the impression that here was a man that had realised he didn’t have to. We would have all been tempted. Hopefully, he did enjoy the spectacle of his nemesis having to sit and squirm though the inauguration speech along with its excruciating female companion that he had suggested may have been his successor.
He would just do it right and the criminals, like Fauci and others that tried to wreck his country, will simply wither and die on the vine. A real Christian for whom turning the cheek had already spared him his life once.
God save him, America and the American people.

Axel Rudakubana and other monsters
Dear Editor
It is a chilling thought that, while the Southport massacre was perpetrated by just one Axel Rudakubana, during their invasion of Israel nearly 18 months ago, Hamas let loose hundreds of such monsters. Notably, dozens of them murdered 364 people at the Nova music festival, gang-raped dozens of women and men, and took 40 hostages back to Gaza. Nobody should equivocate between these evil men with their evil racist ideology and the democratic state of Israel.
