GM Crop Con

When was the last time the government actually told us the truth? In case you hadn't noticed Tony "The Phony" Blair is trying to sell Britain to the corporate scumbags even more completely than the Tories did back in the Horrible Eighties! This government is an unlimited liability to the nation and Tony Blair makes Maggie Thatcher look like Mother Theresa!

Scandal as Government scientists back crops without testing them

A report claiming genetically modified crops pose little risk to health was dubbed a scandal last night.

The Science Review Panel admitted they had not carried out any new tests or research into the crops, which the Government want to see grown across the UK.

But they declared the risks to human health were very low.

Former Environment Minister Michael Meacher, sacked in the last reshuffle, said there were yawning holes in the report.

He said: "It is a scandal that no one has actually looked for the evidence.

"Until you have done systematic, comprehensive health tests on the impacts of eating GM food we should exercise caution."

Government Chief Scientific Adviser Sir David King, who headed the panel, admitted they had done no new tests. He said: "We were set up to review the state of current scientific knowledge on GM foods."

But he said they had not given blanket approval to all GM foods and wanted to see further work carried out.

The report was also damaged by claims that a key member of the inquiry team quit because it was too dominated by the bio-tech industry.

Do you feel like you're living in some Orwellian nightmare? Or perhaps you feel as if you're plugged into The Matrix? Well if so, you've come to the right place. No matter how messed up you thought the world was, by the time you've finished reading some of the things I've found on my travels in Cyberspace you'll realise that 1984 was just a typo!

A note to the non-ravers out there: codshit is NOT a derogatory or insulting term and bears no relation in offensiveness to its four-letter cousin, it's a word used to describe the nonsense that people sometimes talk when they are off their heads. To understand what codshit is watch the film Human Traffic.

Comments are welcome, but before you waste perfectly useful energy abusing me please take a moment to reflect on the basic right we all have to express ourselves!

Please remember that I am not telling you what to think or believe, take everything you read here with a large grain of salt!

Let there be no doubt that the people of the free world are engaged in a war... In the next few years, we are either going to see the people of the free world rise up against these fascists, now setting the stage for global war, or we are going to see the end of democracy as we know it with martial law the end result.
