Unable to attend the crop protection conference that took place this tuesday and wednesday in Dundee, activists did the next best thing and phoned in warning of a security alert.
The head of security at West Park conference centre recieved a call from a 'representative of Brays Private Investigators' ten minutes before Bayer's Nigel Adam was due to talk warning that there was strong evidence that a group of GM activists were planning to commit 'maximum criminal damage' when he began speaking. The hoaxers have no way of telling whether their trick worked or to what extent but were confident that the security officer was entirely taken in and were much tickled by his excited resolution to 'get loads of security down there and get him out of the building immediately'.
Later that night, just after bed-time, the hotel in which the bayer employees were staying recieved a similar call.

That wooshing sound you keep hearing is once again the point just missing you.
