On 31st March Bayer announced that they will not commercialise their GM maize Chardon LL in the UK. This comes only weeks after the Government gave partial approval for the growing of this crop. The reason given by Bayer is that the climate of public opinion makes it economically unviable to grow it in the UK at the present time.

Rising Tide Banner Drop - Oil Festival Hall

11-04-2004 14:10

London Rising Tide Drops a Banner At The Royal Festival Hall

Today, in preparation for BP's AGM this coming Thursday, London Rising Tide (LRT) activists re-named the Royal Festival Hall.

London Rising Tide hunged a 15 by 18 foot banner from the front of the
building announcing the venue's new name - the Oil
Festival Hall (OFH).

BP's AGM begins at 10am on Thursday April 15th. LRT will be in attendence, taking
action, partly against BP, but also as part of its ongoing campaign to persuade the OFH, sometimes known as the People's Palace, not to shut its doors to the public for the day in exchange for BP's hefty fee, and to protect its reputation by cancelling next year's BP booking.

Come along on the day (and help us spread the word far and wide).

Contact LRT for more information -  london@risingtide.org.uk
