Biotech Baking Brigade Pies Bayer Biotechnician in Britain

by BBB
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 assaulting party fled.
London, England: 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
assaulting party fled.

Some leaflets were given out to the surprised and immobilized crowd
and all those protesting left before the cops arrived.

This is part of a national UK campaign against Bayer and against GM
commercialization. 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 choose 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."
