Reading BeppeGrillo.it I realized of this plan to scrap prohibition on seeds that threaten Third World farmers with hunger:
Ministers are trying to scrap an international agreement banning the world’s most controversial genetic modification of crops, grimly nicknamed “terminator technology”, a move which threatens to increase hunger in the Third World.
Their plans, unveiled in a new official document buried in a government website, will cause outrage among environmentalists and hunger campaigners.

Please let’s send thousands of hate-mail to the British government.
