"Pesticide Nun" Wins Battle Against Government

A British "Erin Brockovich" has won her years-long battle against the application of pesticides by agriculture farms in England.

Georgina Downs won a stunning High Court victory yesterday against the current pesticide safety regulations.

The ruling could force ministers to change the rules to bring them in line with EU guidelines, following evidence that thousands of people living near sprayed fields have suffered burns, cancers and neurological disorders.

Miss Downs has campaigned for seven years to expose the flaws in the Government's assessment of the chemicals.
