UPDATE, November 2017. Here’s an article on how Monsanto operates, published in : ‘How Monsanto Captured the EPA (And Twisted Science) To Keep Glyphosate on the Market’ I just sent the letter below to the BBC’s DG. It’s self-explanatory. Lord … Continue reading
Pro-GM = anti-science.
It’s time to call the pro-GM lobby out: you are unqualified to talk about impacts on health and the environment. You are corporate shills. Continue reading
Unbelievably, yet more BBC pro-GM bias
[UPDATE, May 2022: It continues! Food experts slam the BBC for ‘lies’ about genetic edited foods] [UPDATE: I have now received a response from the BBC dismissing my argument that the programme was biased but failing to answer my charge … Continue reading

Environment Secretary in the pocket of Monsanto et al?
[UPDATE: I have just received this disappointing response. Interesting that he has been meeting the Wildlife Trust and the Soil Association, who have clearly failed to have much impact on him!] Having being sickened by Owen Paterson’s cheerleading for … Continue reading

A powerful documentary on GM food – please watch!
Followers of this blog will be familiar with my complaints against the BBC for its de facto championing of the GM industry. I have just watched a powerful documentary on the evils of this technology, in which various credible doctors, veterinarians, … Continue reading

Once again BBC Radio 4 champions GM
I could scarcely believe my ears. Barely a few days after it last offered a platform to the pro-GM lobby to give its views unopposed, BBC Radio 4 has done it again. Are we being softened up for a big … Continue reading
BBC’s Today programme attacks herbalism, promotes GM and contributes to the anti-science ‘new age of darkness’ it describes
