Protest against GM food.
Widespread grassroots action against GM crops is intensifying. All 325 test fields in Britain have been identified from (often inaccurate) official lists and at least 25 have been destroyed by ad hoc and uncoordinated groups. Some firms have not reported attacks for fear that it will increase the chances of copycat crimes. Monsanto are seeking to win damages in the High Court against the five women from GenetiX Snowball and prevent them from "encouraging others". Monsantos case was adjourned yesterday. But the corporate lawyers can expect a lot of new business: every week two or more fields are being hit by Earth First! and other activists. Some have a background in the road protest, anti-car or anti-nuclear movements, but many are new-comers. Some give themselves names, like the "Lincolnshire Loppers", "Captain Chromosome", and the "Genetic Superheroes". The "Kenilworth Croppers" recently scythed down a heavily guarded display of GM wheat at the Royal Agricultural Show. Several fields growing non GM crops have been attacked by mistake.
