Talk:National Institute of Agricultural Botany

No mention GM
This article is propaganda, with no mention of their very unpopular UK trials of GM crops on UK farms. They work with big corporations like BASF, and have to rely on huge security (private AND UK Police) to prevent protesters disrupting plantation and growing of this Big Business Frankenstein Food. GM crops are all about pattening our food.

This item is written as if they use selective breeding, and their title is suggestive of the Orwellian Ministry of Love idea. Please can someone start a criticism section, and open people's eyes to this bunch of pro GM sharks

In the same way - your criticism is also biased, emotive and much of the information wrong. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Agri-Frontfoot (talk • contribs) 09:07, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

It's true that this article is lifted from the institute's PR material but it's also the case that mentioning nothing except their trials of GM crops is hopelessly biased (the great majority of NIAB's work is on selective breeding). I've reverted the article to the previous version but I agree that it does need to be rewritten from someone who isn't a members of NIAB's PR department (and who, for that matter, is familiar with wiki-formatting, e.g. links...)

 * We cannot have huge sections of verbatim copy-and-paste, as that would be a copyright violation. Only re-add this once it has been completely rewritten.  Oli Filth(talk&#124;contribs) 13:15, 19 March 2010 (UTC)


 * OK, but it's silly for the only information on the page to be a highly inaccurate and prejudicial statement in the 'Criticism' section. Better to delete the whole lot until a non-PR person rewrites the pages. OldSpot61 (talk) 13:30, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
