Laura Sandys MP who represents the constituency with the largest number of off shore wind farm operators in the world, said “I am very surprised that Nigel Farage and UKIP can put so many jobs in Thanet at risk. Whatever his belief in climate change is, his irresponsible approach to existing and future investments in Ramsgate and Thanet in the wind sector is threatening 100s of local jobs.
“I very much hope that the local UKIP candidates will distance themselves from Mr Farage’s extremely damaging statement."
