Dateline: 'Victory to the Vestas Workers Occupation' Solidarity Demonstration, Department of Energy and Climate Change, No.3 Whitehall Place, London, UK, 18:00, Wed 22 Jul 09 -- Scores of sane people protest against the insanity of the UK's first ever Energy and Climate Change Minister Ed Miliband spouting pious promises on greenhouse gas emissions reductions in Parliament while allowing the UKs only wind turbine factories to be scrapped on a bosses' bean-counting whim.

"I give my full support to the Vestas workers and the occupation. They are a fantastic example to us all and they deserve to win this important battle for green jobs. I will be promoting their campaign from the stage on my American dates and will do all I can to generate support and solidarity for their fight."

You cut off the bit of this 'speech' which was interesting, not just waffle - ie, when the crowd finally stopped standing there like a bunch of lemons and asked some salient questions like:
- why aren't you in favour of nationalisation?
- do you support the occupation?
And don't tell me that Hughes didn't love that bit because he did!
How badly do we need 'mainstream' approval? Not at all. The Vestas occupation is an impolite and rather more effective means of getting some action.
