Huge victory against GMOs as Monsanto driven out of the UK by consumer protests

A massive victory against Monsanto and genetically engineered seeds has been achieved in the United Kingdom today. Monsanto has announced a total withdrawal from the UK, shuttering its Cambridge-based wheat production operation. UK newspaper Daily Mail was instrumental in promoting opposition against Monsanto through its "Frankenstein Foods" educational campaign
(http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-199884/GM-giant-quits-Britain...).

The paper is now reporting that Monsanto plans to sell off GMO crop-breeding centers in France, Germany and the Czech Republic. Daily Mail reported, "...the company has given up hopes of introducing GM crops to Europe." (Are you grinning as wide as I am right now?)...more

Has anyone noticed that the Daily Mail article is from October 2003 and refers to Tony Blair's Labour Government?

The current David Cameron Conservative Government is PRO GM and the Environment Minister, Caroline Spellman, backs GM Crops and owns a GM Lobbying company with her husband?

Have I missed a major announcement somewhere or does Natural news need to check their research and readers need to follow the links provided a little more closely before accepting or syndicating?
