UK Crop-trashing

Covert Actions continue:

On 23rd August the UK's only test crop of genetically modified wheat was completely destroyed in Cambridgeshire.

Crops in Daviot, Aberdeenshire, and in Dorset and Hemel Hempstead have also been visited.

On 20th July a GM crop trial in Wivenhoe was hit in the early hours of Thursday under cover of darkness causing extensive damage. Sadly 11 people were arrested as a result.

This was only the latest of several incidents in Wivenhoe. There have also been reports of the destruction of 2 National Seed List trials of beet at Great Abingdon, and West Raynham.

Meanwhile mass open demo’s have been organised in Wales, by Custodians of the Land, and by the Doncaster committee on GM crops.

In broad daylight a modest number of concerned local citizens living near Rosemaund, nr Hereford, trashed aprox 10-15% of the farmscale trial site. Police moved in and arrested two of the merry harvesters after they refused to do what they were told, to cease damaging the crop and leave the field.
