The planned direct action against the GM wheat experiment at Rothamsted did not happen on Sunday 27th May. The GM wheat trial is ongoing.

The ignorance displayed by those who would destroy publicly funded, open research is baffling and worrying.

Antonio Sanchez, Civil Engineer and farmer
Marina Ramiro Pareta, Biotech student
Just like many other acts of discrimination, the main reason is an absolut sense of "justice" moved by preconceptions and the ignorance towards the issue, something that could be solved just with a bit of neutral information about GM products.
elba, biologist
Pedro M Hurtado Silva, Industrial Designer
I think it´s a shame that, using the protection of environment as an excuse, some misinformed individuals would drive honest people into thinking that destroying a scientific research is a noble pursue.

Pablo Sánchez Martín, Student
Tony Lacey, Image Analyst
Matt Jones, Architect
Brian Hicks, Software Engineer

Best of luck on Sunday. GM needs taking on a case-by-case basis because there are huge potential problems but I hope you can all sit down with a cup of tea and get your differences sorted.
Owen Jackson, Civil servant
Tetyana Shandala, Research fellow
It is hard to believe that the research funding is under a serious threat all over the world. How narrow minded it is not to foresee that both economy and a health system will suffer in 5-10 years
