We are nearing the end of the GM farm scale crop trials which have been contaminating our countryside during the last three years without our consent. Now the government have acknowledged the need for a consultation on the commercialisation of GM crops in Britain. So let¹s tell them what we think! And whilst we are about it, let this be a celebration of five years of resistance to GM crops!

Come to this event to deliver your message of resistance to GM crops:

We say NO to GM experiments in our countryside.
We say NO to the commercialisation of GM crops.
Bring messages from your own locality, bring people, letters, petitions, placards and banners. Express your message with creativity and artwork. Bring musical instruments and songs. Invite your kids, friends and relatives. Wear costumes and fancy dress.

By delivering our message together and by representing local groups from all over the UK we have an opportunity to show that resistance to GM crops will prevail.

This event is still open to suggestions as to how it can be improved. If you want to help and get involved please ring: .

I vehemently oppose GM technology so I attended your protest only to find I was at a pro-hunt demo amongst upper-crust toffs in bowler hats showing off the hounds they use to tear exhausted foxes limb from limb.

Didn't see a single GM seed though.

I'm not against hunting per-se if country people need to shoot or fish to supplement their diet, but hunting with packs of dogs for sport is simply cruel unnecessary and out-moded.

Get over it, move on....
