Thanks for your lovely coverage - feeling very special from your words. We've just done a little tot up and we've done 61 articles (video, audio, text) on the Vestas sit-in since we broke the story last Monday, acting on a readers tip off (Thanks Tony!) We've tried to be balanced, which had been hard considering Vestas won't talk, an example being one we did yesterday on the government grant money. Must dash - off to cover more Vestas and the IWC Council meeting with this interesting question.
