Hey, I’m not too keen on GM food either (I’m of the school of thought that if you fuck with Nature too much, Nature’s gonna bite back), but this is too funny:

The operation to sabotage the government’s GM potato trial was planned with care and under conditions of great secrecy. Two hundred and fifty protesters swooped on the 16-hectare site outside Hull, armed with shovels and filled with indignation.

They had the wrong field. They sabotaged a non-GM bean crop instead.

In a statement Mutatoes.org said: “With the information that we had and the short timescale available to us … we sincerely believed this to be the correct field. The public were not given sufficient information by the government, who supplied only a four-figure grid reference for the location of the trial.”

Hm. Government plans GM trial. GM protestors target GM trial. And they BLAME the government for not supplying complete information on its location?

Funny that.
