Unlikely heroes (6)

Christopher Monckton of Brenchley.

His name is familiar to me, as he wrote a cracking article back in 1993 (page 5 of this) on replacing the Welfare State with a Citizen's Income scheme. In brief, he worked in Thatcher's policy unit and put the idea forward, but The Powers That Be miserably failed to understand the merits of the scheme.

It now turns out that he has been ruffling a few feathers with a rabidly climate-change-skeptic article.
