Activists lock up to DECC over Vestas dispute

Vestas Lock-inBy Alex Smith / @alexsmith1982

This is the picture, from Socialist Unity, of demonstrators blockading the Department for Energy and Climate Change in a “coalition of red, green and black” in support of the Vetas factory workers.

Sophie Lewis, co-coordinator of the support network, said:

“This is not the first time the world has seen an alliance between politically distinct groups under the banner of fighting climate activism. But Save Vestas is a narrative so potent that thousands nationally and internationally are rallying around it. Miliband must show real leadership on this one.”
