Do you remember Storm Floris?
Yes, it was windy. 100mph winds, trains were cancelled, flights were delayed, I think in Nuneaton, a wheelie bin blew over.
But surely this was good news for Ed Miliband.
Ed Miliband loves wind. He loves a wind turbine.

President Donald Trump however...
But, Ed Miliband loves wind turbines so much he wants to put them in your back garden.
He wants to put them all over the Pennines - which the got the Guardian up in arms because it's Bronte country! No we can't destroy Bronte country...say the same Guardianistas that probably have no qualms about there being a giant £2m mega-mosque built rural Cumbria...
Ed Miliband even wants to put wind turbines as tall as the Eiffel Tower in the English Channel.
The only way I'd be in favour of that is if it acted as a wall to stop the illegal invasion of Britain.
Ed Miliband looks at wind turbines in the way that most blokes look at attractive women, he looks at wind turbines in the way that an obese person looks at a Gregg's steak bake, he looks at wind turbines in the way that Bob Marley looked at cannabis - he loves them so much, that in his spare time, he likes to take his little ukelele out and sing to them.
So for failed Labour leader and notorious brother shafter - a reference to when he knifed him in the back all those years ago, not anything else - Ed iliband, Storm Floris must have been like all his birthdays rolled into one.
It was too windy for the wind turbines. We had to turn them off and it cost the British taxpayer £33m. We had to turn them off because they would have overwhelmed the grid and all the lights would have gone out.
In fact, wasted wind power has cost Britain an estimated £752m so far this year – equivalent to more than £140,000 per hour. The cost has risen from £456m over the same period in 2024.
The cost is expected to be billions of pounds over the next few years.
But Ed doesn't care about your money - he's personally absolutely minted, and he seems happy to waste your cash on his big green ego trip.
One of his advisors racked up 40,000 in air miles last year.
Ed Miliband can get his little ukelele out and strum it in front of as many wind turbines as he likes, but the fact is, when it gets too windy we have to turn them off, and we have to rely on oil and gas.
