Dateline: 4th Plinth, Trafalgar Square, London, UK, 05:00-06:00, Fri 31 Jul 09 -- Gerry Byrne makes best use of her one hour stint on the 4th Plinth, as a part of Antony Gormley's One & Other art project, by staging a one woman "Save Vestas -- Save Jobs -- Save the World" protest, coping as best she can with a bunch of drunk, abusive, foul-mouthed, profoundly ignorant, laddish twenty-somethings that comprised the majority of her audience.

"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."
~ Billy Bragg
