Vestas Sit-in: Day 16 Phone Call To The Inside (podcast)

Wednesday, 5th August, 2009 at 5:56 pm, Isle of Wight

Green Issues, Newport, Vestas Sit-In, podcast

With Mike having left yesterday, we spoke to Mark, one of the six who are still inside at the Vestas sit-in.

Vestas Sit-in: Day 16 Phone Call To The Inside (podcast)We discussed how they had to reorganise themselves now four people have left.

He said that that morale was still good and how they’ll “still be fighting Vestas.”

Mark explained that “It was strange to have that many people leaving at once.”

It’s unclear if Vestas have applied for bailiff papers to have them removed from the building.

Vestas have issued a statement that they are very patient and that they can wait.

Mark said, “They did ask us yesterday that if we wanted to leave the door open they would come in and get us. We replied ‘No’.”

Those inside had thought that the bailiffs might have gone in last night, but nothing happened in the end.

Mark said that “When they do come to get us, we will leave peacefully.”

    good on Mike – what were they searching him for ? food ? in a strange way the island has become a focus for green issues for all the worst reasons and Im in a bit of a quandry on what I feel about it but I think the work the protesters did will resonate for a long time so good on them – if it makes the island actually a sustainable island for all to see and learn from then we owe them a lot. Lets see if the island politicians stand up and be counted on this, either way they get my support.
