PR for 'Second Generation' GM Crops starts in the UK

[Ram Selva]

Apologies in advance fr top posting to TLIO discussion list...

<http://www.rothamsted.ac.uk/Content.php?Section=AphidWheat>

... needs special attention.

First the mention of Ladybirds being attracted isn't the stated 
research insects (2 types of aphids and 2 types of wasps) in documents 
available via the DEFRA granting permission process.

Beyond this PR waffle can someone kindly save this classic edit of a 
BBC broadcast embedded as a video in the article.

Maloney talks of Green GM and Economic Growth.

King tops it all off all the misleading with reference to AstraZeneca 
-- what he is trying to stand up for is Syngenta (AstraZeneca is as much 
a part of Syngenta as Novartis is when for strategic PR purposes they 
merged their Agri-businesses; Syngenta is the British Monsanto for all 
misled by the Monsanto red-herring)

King is true when he says soya is a lost cause. Isn't it a reason to 
not go in to wheat too?!

Meacher too comes out with some carefully coordinated words.
