The long arm of coincidence
Miliband approves huge solar farm being built by major Labour donor
Ed Miliband has been criticised after approving an application for a huge solar farm in Lincolnshire owned by millionaire Labour donor Dale Vince.
The Energy Secretary faces scrutiny after approving Heckington Fen Solar Park on Friday, which is owned by Mr Vince’s green energy business Ecotricity.
The decision has angered local residents and councillors, who have accused Mr Miliband of pandering to Mr Vince, who donated £5m to Labour in the run-up to the general election.
Every life is a series of coincidences. Nothing happens that is not rooted in coincidence. All great changes find their cause in coincidence.

"Mr Vince, who donated £5 million to Labour ...."
Is that just the bribe acceptance price, or will they want more?
Would love to learn if Moribund's transport, official and private, are electric only, and whether his residence(s) are all electric, or does he have had heating and cooking facilities hidden away?

There are other strings attached, though. As well as a 5 million bung, he has to appear on Question Time and on "X", parroting Labour platitudes and looking like his mentally ill sister cuts his hair.
Penseivat - and is his electricity supply purely derived from wind and solar? We know none of them live the Net Zero life, or anything close to it. They must know it too, even Moribund must know it.
Sam - ha ha, yes his hair is very odd. Surely a green guru would just let it grow and allow suitable endangered species to live in it.
