I believe that proper research is needed and scientist need to be mindful of working with nature. The population of the world is forever increasing so we need this kind of research

Protetors, please stop and think. Evolution is a process of genetic modification. GM of the sort being undertaken by Rothampstead is entirely beneficial. The problem is when Big Agro like Monsanto use it for purely commercial gain. The GM proposed is likely to be of immense benefit to mankind.

Without continuing to explore and invest in science and new technologies we will fail to address some of the global challenges that face us in the future. Let the research results inform policy and future direction rather than theories and speculation.

An organisation which wilfully destroys scientific findings they disagree with belongs to the dark ages, which is where they would have us.

Luke, Music Industry Analyst
Destroying someone else's hard work and legitimate scientific research because you don't agree with it based on no evidence whatsoever doesn't make you a protester, it makes you an idiot.

Peter Newton, Postdoctoral research fellow

Lesley Stark, Scientist

Oliver Jenkinson, Solicitor

Poppy, McFee

Lauren Ames, PhD student
