Georgina Downs - The Power of One

When WAB went to the BEMA awards a couple of years ago, we met briefly with Georgina Downs who picked up an award for campaigning against pesticides

Now, after seven years of campaigning, she's managed to take DEFRA all the way to the high court and she's been granted a judicial review!

Hopefully this will inspire many others to see that it's still possible for one person to take on the machine or make a difference

Congratulations Georgina!

Three cheers for Georgina.
Some plonker from DEFRA was speaking yesterday, saying it is all totally safe, but we will probably have a look at the report and act accordingly...IF...MAYBE?!

If you spray a field to kill a living thing, how the HELL can it not affect a Human body!!. And they wonder where all the Bees and butterflys have gone, you can't blame it all on Climate Change.
