Genetix Snowball

The GenetiX Snowball action on the 5th August went remarkably well. We thought we would be joining the three people on remand at the Smash GenetiX action. But life is rarely that simple.

The whole action was the normal mixture of surreal moments, humour and defiance which typifies snowball actions. Three of us arrived at 6.30am and started trashing the site despite the injunctions. With this we left to take the bagged up plants to AgrEvils HQ at East Winch hall, Near Kings Lynn. They were totally phased, despite us sending them a open letter explaining why we were going to break their injunction.

They had an impromptu press conferences where they tried to deny that the crop was GM until a journalist who came on the action pointed out the injunction signs around the site.

Finally they allowed someone in to hand them the bag of GM oilseed rape our statements and their injunctions. The two execs that the person met were so uptight they could hardly breath. Any way we left and await our committal papers.
