The Don't Destroy Research petition is now closed, many thanks to everyone who signed it. Below is the list of signatories and their comments. You can also see a collection of public support for the Rothamsted researchers' appeal here.
The planned direct action against the GM wheat experiment at Rothamsted did not happen on Sunday 27th May. The GM wheat trial is ongoing.
Signatures

I resent my ethics being vilified by what is essentially a blood-and-soil fascist movement. The motives of agricultural scientists exploring GM are almost without exception philanthropic.
Jan Woyke, Informatic

I am appalled by the arrogance of European 'greens' who believe their luddite fears give them the moral high ground in this debate. GM foods are the only means we have to ensure food security for the world's seven billion odd people going forward. Especially given the challenges of an increasingly variable climate.
Greg, Healy
We need to be able to make rational decisions about GM.

Without evidence there is no rational basis for progress. It is extremely sad that simply 'finding out' needs to be defended.

Mateusz Kiwak Kusnierz, student
Nie można niszczyć cudzej pracy, dotyczącej być może przełomu w rolnictwie.
