Sorry Carl, much as I'd like to 'get with the program' I can't take the green movement seriously as a progressive force. Of course it is tempting for leftists, having seen the workers' movement defeated, to jump on this middle class bandwagon. But as far as I can see, it is going in the same reactionary direction that most middle class movements go.
The one point that was screaming out of the articles you reproduced as that the anti-GM campaign was a bit of old fashioned European protectionism. Now, having resisted all those pro-capitalist buy British campaigns of the past, I'm not about to rally to the cause of British business just because it is dressed up as environmentalism.
This point, here, is the one that has not been answered:
