Nigel Farage on Newsnight Tonight

Apologizes in advance for the short notice. Nigel Farage will be on Newsnight tonight BBC2 at 22:30pm to support the oil strikers. UKIP is one of few to support the the oil strikers against EU regulation.

Former EU Commissioner Lord Mandelson will also appear on the programme , but dont expect any support for the strikers from Mandelson as he is still being paid by the EU. "He gets his salary as a minister from us, £104,000 a year, but he also gets £78,000 a year from Brussels – plus a very generous pension in the future, the whole deal amounting to a cool million pounds.

"And if he doesn't obey his oath to uphold the interests of the EU then they can take it away from him, as they have already tried to do with another retired Commissioner

Also UKIP's Lord Pearson will be on the Daily Politics Show tomorrow
(3/02/09) on BBC2 at 12pm noon.
