Osborne carbon retreat a ruse - UK Independence Party

UKIP has dismissed Chancellor George Osborne's pledge at the Conservative Party conference not to cut carbon emissions any faster than the UK's European neighbours.

Godfrey Bloom MEP, the UKIP Energy spokesman said, "Mr Osborne is only retreating from his party's previous climate change alarmism because it is now obvious that the public - which has more common sense than he and his colleagues - has no appetite for it".
