Georgina Wins Toxic Battle

From: The Lazy Environmentalist
"The high court ruled on Friday that Georgina Downs had produced 'solid evidence' that people exposed to chemicals used to spray crops had suffered harm. Defra's (Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs) argument that the use and control of pesticides was 'reasonable, logical and lawful' was rejected. The court said the government had failed to comply with a European directive designed to protect rural communities from exposure to the toxins. It said Defra must reassess its policy and investigate the risks to people who are exposed."
