The GM cotton disproves M&S’s claims to be totally organic. Monsanto’s GM cotton is bred to be herbicide and pest resistant. It has all the inherent risks of gene transfer and increased pesticide usage of other GM crops - and it does nothing to prevent skidmarks, either. Watch for further actions! More info. 0161 224 4846
