"Can GM Save the World?" presented by GEN (Genetic Engineering Network)
Monsanto and its allies BASF, Bayer, Dow and Syngenta, have launched a PR offensive in Europe. They claim that Europe will run out of animal feed unless the EU weakens regulations and allows GM soya and maize containing stacked resistance to multiple herbicides to enter the food chain without any safety assessments. They claim that GM crops are needed to 'feed the world' and tackle climate change. If they win, GM companies will receive massive subsidies from European taxpayers while millions of farmers are locked into a cycle of poverty, forced to rely on expensive patented seeds and chemicals. We need your help to end the biotech industry's grip on EU policy. It's our food and our money: whose decision should it be?

With presentations by Pete Riley - GM Freeze ; Helen Wallace - Gene Watch UK; Gerald Miles - GM Free Cymru, followed by open debate and questions.


Friday 16th July, 8pm, £5

Rough Trade Records in London says "...if you have witnessed it you will know what I mean: work(s) of art with powerful lyrics, thoughtful compositions, very emotional and moving vocals... brilliant indeed!"


Saturday 17th July, 7.30pm, £5
Globe Theatre: The Fool, the Cow, and the Art of Corruption
"The best street show I have seen" Steven Berkoff.
Jeremy Farquar, butler to the incredibly powerful, is ready to tell some tales. Truly unique. Whistle blowing wisdom. Farquar is a Fool. Everything is an analogy. Nothing is as it seems.

Pearls of wisdom fall gently from the darkened mouth of this cream faced loon, using world class circus skill to share his truths.
A cabaret evening.
Eat, drink, be brilliantly entertained.
"Challenging, inspirational theatre" Sydney Morning Herald

Our past decor themes have included Underwater, Outer Space, The Crystal Maze and Halloween.
