I noticed with interest the publishing of a letter in the Guardiian opposing the expansion of Bristol Airport - notable because of the inclusion of Dale Vince, founder of Ecotricity - so it put a bit of a hole in the 'business case' that the airport is trying to push to have a successful local business type person opposing the scheme. read full story / add a comment

After 19 days, the occupation of the Vestas wind turbine factory in Newport on the Isle of Wight ended yesterday. (See report below for witnessed account of this). As the workers left the factory they said their struggle for jobs and environment will go on and urged us to ‘…fight on!’. Many supporters will stay to picket the factory to stop equipment being removed. Others will go to support the rooftop occupation in Vestas at Cowes. The Vestas workers have been heroic and now we all need to be heroic and make sure this really is ‘…just the beginning!’. The campaigning carries on. It is up to us what happens next. read full story / add a comment
