Default Boaters in London

Hi

Gerard Batten, who is an MEP for London, is currently quite an active campaigner in Brussels for the red diesel cause.

He has been asked to do an interview on LBC radio on 20 April about the issues that he faces as an MEP. He would like to talk about red diesel but, because the interview is for local radio, he could really do with talking to some London people (or companies) that would be affected by the loss of the derogation.

This wouldn't require actually going on the radio, it would just mean supplying Gerard with some information that he could talk about in his interview.

Incidentally, Gerard is the one who gave a speech last week in European Parliament on the issue:

Anyone who is interested, please drop me a PM and I'll put you in touch.

Simon
