London Human Rights Rally - 2nd July 2022: Part 6 - Up Parliament Hill and down again

Personally, I wouldn't be looking to the EU for protection from GMO food, not least because of the merger between Monsanto, purveyor of glyphosate and GMO seeds, and the German chemical giant, Bayer. I doubt very much such a giant would allow the small matter of EU legislation to stand in the way of what it wants. To me it looks more like the UK government is following what the EU is doing, rather than taking a path that has opened up since Brexit.

"Monsanto and Bayer are pitching their consolidation as a way to develop the technology and innovation necessary to feed a world that in two decades is likely to be home to 10 billion people. For critics ― environmentalists and many farmers ― it’s a terrifying step toward a near-monopoly in agriculture, giving giant companies unprecedented access to farmer data, squeezing out small farmers, and potentially raising food prices for consumers."

"The European Commission launched a review of EU rules on genetically modified organisms (GMOs) on Thursday, opening the door to a possible loosening of restrictions for plants resulting from gene-editing technology."

On the British Bill of Rights:

The group 'Briefings for Britain' (formerly Briefings for Brexit) take this view of the Bill:
"Most significant are limits on the use of Human Rights to frustrate the deportation of convicted criminals, introduce a “permission stage” aimed at limiting the number of claims, and removing the obligation on courts to read legislation as far as possible to comply with Human Rights. It will also limit the HRA’s application to the UK - it has previously been used against British servicemen serving overseas."

In my opinion, the rights we traditionally enjoyed in this country were based on the English Common Law, and centuries of sometimes violent struggle, but also peaceful constitutional development. They were not based on the Human Rights Act, which was only introduced relatively recently by the Labour government of Tony Blair.
However, having said that, I am not sure getting rid of the HR Act will return us to the situation we were in before it was introduced. I think intentions matter in law, and this could end up opening a whole new can of worms.
