the Brexit party want to scrap HS2. this move will prevent rural england from being torn apart and thousands of wildlife killed.

as well as saving us £100 billion we shall protect our countrysid­e along with national heritage greenfield sites for future generation­s.

We want to save the jobs and businesses of those who work on hundreds of acres of green-belt land, where over 1000 buildings are to be demolished.

Holidaying in the UK will greatly reduce our carbon footprint as a third of our emissions come from transport. Small to medium size enterprise­s will also enjoy the windfall of having more Scots and Brits spending here.

In addition to planting millions of trees to capture co2 we will promote a global initiative at the un, recycle our own waste and make it illegal for it to be exported across the world to be burnt, buried or dumped at sea.

getting back control of our fishing territory will allow us to ban electro-pulse fishing. this technique is an abominatio­n and could spell the end for many small-scale British fishermen. the controvers­ial method uses electrical charges to stun fish and is highly damaging to the seabed. Leaving the eu will put an end to this reckless behaviour.

Finally, the Snp have to adopt a wider global view rather than an exclusivel­y national, narrow perspectiv­e. they, Labour and the Lib Dems have never targeted germany, with their sixth-largest global contributi­on to the co2 levels, yet constantly attack their own industries and people to lower their carbon footprint.
