Cunt corporation act like cunts
Specifically they believe their right to make a huge profit is more important than killing loads of wildlife, and thus are suing the European Commission.
(Link is some petition or other, sorry if that offends anyone.)
How's that international trade treaty (forgot what it's called, TTIP maybe?) coming along anyway? I suppose we'll be seeing a lot more of this sort of thing if it goes through.

And it gets better...
...our government have outsourced the Food and Environment Research Agency to Crapita (sorry, Capita). I'm sure a company of incompetent cunts like them wouldn't skew their research to satisfy private clients, would they? Bye-bye, bees!
Frighteningly shit stuff.

Why not? Our ancestors did it to us.
The cunts exterminated woolly mammoths and dodo's, so I can't have mammoth bacon and dodo eggs for breakfast.

Cunts indeed
It's terrifying how short sighted people can be in the pursuit of profit

"These pesticides can easily be replaced by other chemicals which don't have such a devastating effect on the food chain."
These will be the Pyrethroids that farmers have switched to since the ban?
They're not nearly as effective, need much more spray treatments and more hazardous than Neonicotinoid to ground based insect life like ground nesting bees and beetles.
This past year crops have been so badly affected by flea beetles that Defra approved the use of Insyst last September.
Not saying that I want the ban lifted but it's not so easy.
Maybe petitioning for a massive bee breeding program, selecting strains resistant to the chemicals and varroa mites would be a good idea too?

No such thing as a free lunch, you can't sustain such a massive human population without damaging wildlife i guess.

I hope your lunch was free range ethically sourced quinoa or what you just did is a hate crime.

Tree hugger alert
There is little truly objective evidence that neonics cause colony collapse. Plenty of correlation for certain but no mechanism and no proof. It is true that there are big business interests at stake, but that isn't the whole story.
Remember that neonics merely mimic the chemicals produced naturally by plants to protect themselves from insect pests. The alternative to neonics would be to go back to traditional pesticides for which there is PLENTY of evidence of severe damage to the environment.
As usual, it is more complex a problem than the green lobby are painting it.
