While careers and statues have died at the merest hint of not refuting slavery hard enough, the UK Labour Party will make sure slave-made-solar panels will still be imported to the UK, and the people exploiting the slaves will still be paid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have to ask, O\u2019 Great Moral Guardians, was it because there aren\u2019t enough solar panels that are not<\/em> slave-made, and if we stop supporting the slavers, the only panels left will cost a fortune? Is the big fear that it will blow the climate budget, or make green electricity even more absurdly expensive?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or are we saying that the lives of slaves in 2025 are not as important as cooling the world by 0.0001 degrees 100 years from now?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Labour to block bid to ban solar panels made by SLAVES<\/a> \u2013 so Ed Miliband can put them on schools and hospitals<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

By Harriet Line, The Daily Mail, UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peers had sought to stop taxpayers\u2019 cash from being used to buy products from a company where there was \u2018credible evidence\u2019 of modern slavery in its supply chain<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the Government will whip its MPs to vote against the Lords amendment to the Great British Energy Bill in the Commons today, meaning solar panels made with forced labour could end up on the roofs of hundreds of schools and NHS<\/a> sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Energy Secretary Ed Miliband admitted last week that some solar panels bought for a \u00a3180 million project for schools and hospitals will come from China<\/a>. The country is responsible for 80 per cent of the global supply of solar panels, and the Xinjiang region produces up to 40 per cent of polysilicon \u2013 a key component.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coming soon, far-right extremists will demand that solar panels should be slave-free, and<\/em> made with renewable energy, instead of burning more coal in China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ladies and Gentlemen, whenever you need to cut down the smug and sanctimonious, ask: What, exactly, have you done to stop the slavers profiting from climate change?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Globalists hate workers at home and abroad. Make them suffer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And let’s not forget the people in\u00a0internment camps in Xingjian:<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n
