Will email them all tonight.

Why isn't there more about this in the media? I just looked at the BBC site, Kitchen Garden magazine etc, and nothing. You'd think it'd warrant a bit of attention on the Gardener's World site at least.

E-mail sent. These people just do not seem to realise that we need diversity in our seeds to ensure that if one variety gets diseased there are others that can be used to develop new disease resistant varieties.

Sneakiness is part and parcel of laws like this. If the public knew, then it would get turned down in no time.

Spread the word to friends before it's too late and get their help to support opposition.
