Following the blockade of the five english distribution depots last Thursday/Friday, local supermarket actions continue unabated.

Supermarket Actions in Sherborne, Plymouth & Swansea hammered the "no gm in the food chain" & "fair price for farmers" messages home ahead of Sainsbury's AGM in London, on Monday.

In Sherborne, Dorset 14 Cows & 5 Milkmen grazed down the high street, but were stopped entering Sainsbury's, except for a couple of calves.


In Swansea, Greenpeace activists dressed as pantomime cows today chained themselves to the dairy aisle of a Welsh supermarket in their latest protest against imports of GM crops, following their blockade of a ship outside Bristol(those who were arrested are in court in Barry, South Wales on Monday).

In Plymouth, farmers joined other activists making sure that the "fair price for farmers" message gets across to Sainsbury's and consumers.
