On 21st January Paul Rylott - top GM scientist at Bayer Cropscience delivered a stirring speech on how to manage consumer response to biotechnology, at a conference on Managing and Predicting Crisis in the Food Industry. As he took his place in the queue for his buffet dinner a polite call of "Mr Rylott?" brought him face to face with a chocolate fudge cake (skipped and stale) covered with the sweaty rotting whipped cream and the shout "That's for GM!" Before the assualting party fled.
Some leaflets were given out to the surprised and immobilised crowd and all those protesting left before the cops arrived.
This is part of a national UK campaign against Bayer and against GM commercialisation. Actions taken place have included junk mailing, sabotage including lock glueing, spraypainting, window breaking, golf courses destroyed , office occupations, noise demonstrations and trespasses.
The biotech baking brigade stated: " GM Technology is the latest onslaught of a bland and tedious industrial technological society against the planet. We are against monoculture and for biodiversity, against the domestication of people and land, and for the wild. There is no neutral ground: everyone is called upon to choice their side. Whenever They strike - be they government, corporations or greenwash quangos - we will strike back. They have declared war on us and our planet: we will answer it.
