Sally Perry·

There’s great news for the Isle of Wight Distillery, as they pick up yet another global award.

Mermaid Pink Gin has been awarded Gold at this year’s International Wine and Spirit Competition (IWSC).

A spokesperson for Isle of Wight Distillery said,

“The expert panel of judges praised the beautiful light pink hue, the bright citrus nose, strawberry aroma and the subtle sweetness, that combined with a dry finish keeps you coming back for more!”

Having peaceful people come to talk to you about job losses at your office hardly requires this reaction from Andrew Turner. Hes supposed to be representing all of the people of our Island.

I suppose it depends on whether a proper appointment was made and whether he really was at something he’d already agreed to do. If found out in a press release they were just going to turn up then I don’t suppose he had any idea how many might be there. And if he was doing something that couldn’t be shifted it seems sensible (although maybe a bit… Read more »

What difference does it make whether they were from the island or not.

I say well done to them for living on the roof for nearly two weeks in rain and sun to help raise awareness for the campaign.

It’s called solidarity.

And I’ve just noticed in these pictures that the chap writing out the notice calling the MP a Nimby is using a ‘Solidarity’ newspaper to rest on and the picture of them standing outside the office with a banner has somebody posing at one end with a copy of ‘socialist worker’ and an RMT banner the other end. Hardly surprising they are not the Mr Turner’s biggest… Read more »

Your sweeping assumptions may be leading you astray there Jules – there was sympathetic discussion between those who ‘dared’ to mark themselves out as socialists about Andrew’s health and wellbeing.

Many people view addressing climate change outside the narrow confines of left/right party politics.

OK Simon, thanks. I was just looking at the photographs and you were actually there. You must admit though that the photos do tend to give a bit of a left-wing slant to things. I just think that Vesta’s (and the Island’s) message is getting lost and it does seem from the outside as if it is all activists from other causes jumping on the bandwagon. Other… Read more »

“And before anyone says anything, I did go down to the factory one day to show my support but I was put off from going along again because of them.”

Perhaps that says more about you that the people there.

Hi Jules, I find your comments typical of the armchair critics living on the Island, who in my belief are nothing more than racist.( People who are against integration of all different lifestyles supporting the same Cause ) If all these diverse Climate Campaigners are as you say ‘causing problems for the Vestas Workers’ could you please explain Why they haven’t asked them to leave? Especially as… Read more »

who’s race is involved. I generally agree with Jules (and I’m a socialist)..but can it be helped, on issues that are at the heart of socialism, socilaists have a voice. The owners of the plant are acting in a typical capitalist (tory) manner and the absence of this councils prescence backs up that fact. I do feal that when issues are across the board that blatant socialism… Read more »

Jules is quite right – this is not about climate change or socialism – it’s about Vestas workers losing their jobs. This protest was instigated and has been under the control of people who have nothing to do with Vestas workers from the start. They have there own agenda. That’s why only a handful of the 600 Vestas workers have been involved in the protests.

One should also add that the company is only doing what it is obliged to do AS A COMPANY and seek the best enviroment for it to produce profit for its investors

I’m sorry but have you actually been involved in any of what is going on because i can assure you as one of the wives that the Vestas Workers are completely in control of what has been going on and always have been! The Unions, Socialists,Climate Activists and every other party that has been brave enough to support the workers have only acted in a supporting role,… Read more »

Can I also point out that this campaign has never been about one agenda it is about saving the local economy with green jobs, fighting capitalisim and helping climate change this is what makes it so important. I dont think that any party should be blamed for having one of these agendas higher on their list of priorities the important thing is that all these people can… Read more »

As for the argument that the company is only seeking the best environment for its profits, yes i do not entirely disagree with you but how that company acts towards its employees when casually casting them aside when finished with is something i would like to challenge! The employees were led to believe only a few months earlier that their jobs were safe, this was a complete… Read more »

the answer to that then is to not vot tory…because their true nature will always rise to the top..and workers rights aren’t on the agenda

Think you can apply that to ALL three of the main parties these days and there is very little, if anything, to choose between them. The only rights most MPs are interested in are their own.

He talks the talk but when it the time comes to walk the walk he runs and hides.
He can run, but he cant hide forever.
