Contrary to previous assurances, all 500 demonstrators entered the field en masse and a significant number deliberately began to damage the crops. Field flattened Protesters at the site destroyed the field that is half genetically engineered and half normal crop, said a spokesman for campaign group the Genetic Engineering Network. The half of the field that is genetically engineered has been destroyed. It has been completely flattened. It is the only option after the breakdown of the political debate.
Campaigners have to take it into their own hands and stop the crop themselves.
There has been no violence at all. The destruction of the crop came after a mass rally earlier on Sunday at Manor Farm, attended by more than 500 people. On Sunday it also emerged the government was to review the amount of money it puts into the organic food industry after the backlash against genetically modified foods, and other safety scares.
