Whilst undertaking a hoeing session today in an attempt to save the
remains of my veggie crops (those that have not been ravaged by
caterpillars, slugs, pigeons or grandchildren!) I have decided that all
home gardeners should start this campaign.

My modus operandi would be to take a team of boffins, tell them that
their winters food is growing on an allotment, to which they have access
for a couple of hours each week to maintain it. Their objective would be
to produce veggie seeds modified to display the characteristics of
garden weeds, namely the ability to survive drought, flood, being stood
on, slugs, pigeons, caterpillars, green/black fly and the like.

Each year they will be fed on the crops that the allotment produce using
the seeds they have developed - just as an incentive!

Any one want to join?

They've already taken strides in that direction and guess what Joe Public won't accept it.

Joe Public will accept anything its told to! Most recently took the theft of £14 billion of public money to finance the olympics without a word of dissent, and of course completely accepted wars on the peoples of Kosovo, Afghanistan, Iraq, and direct involvement in attacks on Libya and more recently Syria, without so much as a murmur of protest................

WTF are you talking about man?

That led to one of the biggest anti war protests ever seen in recent times -
which was ignored by the government.

Iraq, and direct involvement in attacks on Libya and more
recently Syria, without so much as a murmur of protest................
