    Isn't this old news that was voted out about Christmas time?

    Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

    Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

      That's what I thought too, Alison.
      The Liveleak document is undated but it looks like old news to me.

          I am always wary of anything like that which contains vulgarity, many spelling mistakes and makes reference to such as the Gestapo.

            Me too, Potty. I couldn't take anything from that article seriously - all a load of garbage and scaremongering.

              It certainly was an 'intresting' read.

                Cleaned up I could use it as an exercise in proof reading for my class of 10 year olds.

                  However, the attempts to regulate what seeds we use and make seed saving illegal are, in fact, ongoing.

                  The article may have been scaremongering and one bill was recently voted out but more are in the pipeline. This one isn't going away.

                    Yes, huge shame but I can't see it staying away with the interests of agri-business involved.

                      I read a lot about this. Seed saving is not and will not be illegal like what we do. There are seed saving company wich will charge a lot of money for some heritage seeds wich are not registered in EU list. So only commercials they have to buy the registered seeds. Us Allotmentier that we swap seeds without any charge is something normal that has been done for century. Nothing to worry. If I have to give up of my rich seeds database and buy commercial or gmo seeds I'll give up my plot if I can find them in store ready

                        It's not just the big boys it affects though, it would cause major problems for great little enterprises like Real Seeds too

                          Wonder if that means they will arrest and lock up the damn squirrel that seems to plant every type of seed it can everywhere in my garden.
