Says the peddler in environmental poisons.

Because the people who decide her professional status are smart enough to not listen to reactionary idiots such as you.

For you to be calling other people stupid and gullible is highly ironic. ( In a non-Morissette way ).

They do tests and trials in the UK as well, for exactly the same reasons; firstly to verify that the modified crop is viable and consistant in delivering the desired outcome. Secondly to ensure that the modified crop cannot interact and cross fertilise with naturally occurring species. Such trials and tets can take many years. What the UK Government seems to be doing is loosening the EU constraints, which are the most restrictive of any agricultural regulations in the World. Your point is ....?

And when you come out with comments such as this, it shows Whelk has a point.

Perhaps that comment was aimed at you because you had gone all 'Daily Express' and posted that Angela Raynor had "labelled the majority of the electorate as “Scum” along with the usual tiresome Labour insults like “racist” “mysoginist” “homophobic” etc etc " when in fact what she said was, in describing the Prime Minister and the Cabinet, "We cannot get any worse than a bunch of scum, homophobic, racist, misogynistic, absolute vile… banana republic, vile, nasty, Etonian… piece of scum,”. As there are plenty of examples of BoJo spouting vicious bile and then refusing point blank to apologise, she has a point.

His wives and mistresses must have been very disappointed.

Gene Editing is not the same as Genetic Manipulation. The latter involves splicing genetic material from 2 differing species together, perhaps a genetic sequence for the production of a specific oil is added to a plant that does not naturally produce that oil. Editing is a technique where a genetic 'weakness' is corrected - for instance to make a plant resistant to drought or higher temperatures. ( Also, remember that spontaneous mutation is quite a normal event in nature ). Almost all foodstuffs, vegetables, fruit, and meat, come from sources that have been 'genetically modified' by selective breeding and cross-fertilisation. Practically none of our food comes from "pure" natural species - fish is probably the largest foodstuff that is genuinely ''natural' For those of you that think that a post Brexit Britain should look more towards the US, this technique is already approved for some crops in the US and Canada.

It may be shit but at least he HAS a brain, you just have a void space between your ears that acts like an echo chamber for whichever trite news headline you have encountered that day.

What about the injection of bleach, or finding some way of getting artificial sunlight inside a patient's lungs ?

I don't mind admitting that the same warped system that gave Bliar a massive majority with little more than 30% of the electorate and 43% of the vote also gifted BoJo his majority, but your claim about the "majority of the electorate" was just plain wrong - no spin required, and not an 'old chestnut'. Governments in the UK are elected with a majority of seats at Westminster yet with little over 40% of the votes cast, and with the positive affirmation of less than a third of the total electorate. It works both ways, and the 2 major parties have no interest in changing it, but true democracy it aint.

History suggests that the Duke of Wellington could not have fought the Battle of Waterloo without the aid of the Dutch army of the Prince of Orange, and that the Dutch Staadtholder William "saved" the British crown from Catholic usurpation when he became King William III.

The majority of the votes cast at the GE did not go to the Tories, let alone their having the support of the "majority of the electorate". And she was right in calling out the mysogonistic, islamophobic, and homophobic rants of Boris.

Hey, i just like destroying GM's delusions. I'm not saying the Dems don't do it - from my point of view the US Political setup is deeply corrupt all round, and as a definition of Democracy falls far short of even the UK version.

FYI: Biden hasn't had a year in office yet, and he started in the dog's dinner of a pandemic response that Trump left, let alone trying to deal with the toxic fallout from the Jan 6th coup attempt. My chickens would probably make better Presidents than Trump - at least their heads are still attached.

A withdrawal from Afghanistan that Trump precipitated; a surge in Covid due to people folowing the "scamdemic" theories Trump suporters adhere to and promote; the migrants are always there; the deadlock in Congress is due to Republicans and Democrats refusing to work together on ideological grounds - many Republicans still support the "stolen election" falsehoods, and many Republican states are bringing in new gerrymandering laws to limit the access to polling sites in predominantly Democratic wards. If DT had won the election the Afghan situation would have been the same, ditto the migrants and thedeadlock in Congress. The Covid situation may well have been worse.

"Labour conference: Not right to say only women have a cervix, says Starmer" https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-58698406 They have obviously identified the important issues that are affecting al of us.

A shot on target in our case is a tame toe poke that just about has enough pace to beat a snail over 2 yards and trickles into the GK's gloves.

Every fucking time.

Do you honestly think that things are likely to change in the next 3 months ? I think it is fairly easy to predict where we will be by Xmas.

How many saves did their 'keeper make ?

I remember when, as a lad, buses were run by the Council, you could watch the Great Liners dock, and Southampton won a football match after conceding the first goal.

BSc in Microbiology, career in chasing computer viruses.

When I was made redundant after 33 years in IT, the last 10 in cyber security, I was deemed too old, ( 55 ), for almost every related vacancy going.
