I won’t take lectures on environmental issues from Godfrey Bloom.
In his recent letter, Bloom tells us he sits on the environment committee in the European Parliament before regaling us with his understanding of climate change, which he denies is happening.
Mr Bloom does not sit on the environment committee. He is a substitute. Anyone who is interested can visit votewatch.eu and find for themselves Bloom’s attendance record on this committee.
Bloom has not attended any of the last 12 environment committee meetings that have taken place over the past nine months.
You have to go back as far as September 27 last year to find him listed, as a substitute.
There is no suggestion that he made any contribution to this meeting as a speaker.
It is not surprising that his grip on environmental matters is therefore somewhat limited.
