Ed Miliband picked a bad week to trumpet wind power becoming Britain's "biggest source of electricity", says Ben Pile, as a cold snap sent costs spiralling and brought gas-starved Britain to the brink of deadly blackouts.

plenty of interest in anti's campaign against Hare Coursing.
The anti-blood sports/anti-greyhound industry book Bad Hare Days has this week moved rapidly up the list of books sold online in Ireland.
John fitzgerald ,one of the organisers of the upcoming Clonmel hare Coursing final demonstration in Feb 2010 said 'Today, (Monday) it is highly placed on the Bestsellers.ie site, in all its categories: biography, Irish history, local history, local Irish history etc.'
 No publisher in Ireland would accept the manuscript of Bad Hare Days…so the author, veteran anti-blood sports campaigner John Fitzgerald of Callan, County Kilkenny, had to venture beyond our shores…finally succeeding in getting it published by Olympia Publishers in London.
With the present hare-coursing season underway, the author, John Fitzgerald, is encouraged as a campaigner against blood sports that the book is “taking off” like this.
The book tells the story of Ireland’s anti-hare coursing campaign, which dates back to 1966, and of the author’s own thirty year involvement in the campaign.
Apart from making the case against hare coursing and recounting the ups and downs of the campaign, he devotes the greater part of the book to the high price that some campaigners, including himself, have had to pay for “rocking the boat” on this issue…unfair dismissal from work, wrongful arrests and interrogations when peaceful campaigners were wrongly blamed for the actions of the Animal Liberation Front (releasing of hares and sabotaging of coursing venues), tense courtroom dramas, and other misadventures.
If this interests you, you might like to have a look at the site, Bestsellers.ie, to confirm the book’s performance.
John Fitzgerald hopes that the book will hasten the demise of blood sports in Ireland, and the end of the country’s discredited greyhound industry, but also that it will let the wider public see what some of us campaigners have had to put up with in our bid to seek protection for the humble hare!

I have downloaded the Kindle version and I urge everybody to.
I will be reviewing this book for 4international.me and trying to place it under the Trotskyist microscope. I have just glanced at the first part which was very emotionally moving for me. I will review it very soon indeed.
