	Schemes & Intrigues
		Melchett hooked his thumbs into the pockets of his garish outfit and strutted triumphantly down the stairs towards her chair.
		Melchett, although he had known the Queen for less time, was less qualified, and less talented, was also jockeying for the position as her first officer.
		Melchett's smirk, if it were possible, grew even deeper as he watched Blackadder open and shut his mouth.

	Analysis
		Melchett : I’m persuaded that we shouldn’t release genetically engineered organisms into the environment – that the risks are too great because the consequences are such that you wouldn’t be able to reverse this.
		Melchett : You can’t march off down the GM route and 15 years later say, whoops we’d rather be organic because by then genetically engineered plants will be ubiquitous in the countryside and hedgerows and roadside verges in the seed bank in fields.
		Melchett : There are solutions working now using sustainable agriculture and low input agriculture, there is a wealth of research, a wealth of market knowledge and it is being opposed.

	Melchett - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Melchett was usually seen standing to the right of Queenie's throne, with Nursie on the left.
		Lord Melchett once recommended to the Queen that Blackadder be made Lord High Executioner (a job at which, apparently, no one ever lasts more than a week without being murdered), and pressured Blackadder to sail around the deadly Cape of Good Hope.
		The General Melchett character was something of a popular caricature of World War I generals like Field Marshal Douglas Haig, who have been controversially portrayed by authors such as Alan Clark and John Laffin as sending men to a senseless death, with seemingly no tactics at all.

	Guardian \| The greening of Melchett
		When Lord Peter Melchett drove into the maize field at Walnut Farm near Lyng on Monday morning, it was almost certainly with machinery from his family's 750 acre farm at Ringstead 25 miles away.
		Yet the 4th Lord Melchett, who was yesterday remanded in custody by Norwich magistrates until August 5 charged with theft and criminal damage, could well have been in senior government by now.
		Lord Melchett was personally hurt by the Brent Spar affair where he apologised publicly after a genuine, though horrendous, scientific mistake was made in calculating the amount of oil left on the drilling platform.

	MYSTERY! \| The Body in the Library \| Story Synopsis
		Miss Marple is eager to help and arrives immediately to examine the body, much to the annoyance of Colonel Melchett, the chief of the County Police and a good friend of Arthur Bantry, who has personally taken on the murder case.
		Independently of one another, Melchett and Miss Marple both wonder if local bad boy, Basil Blake, has anything to do with the mystery, as he is well known for his loud parties and bottle-blonde girlfriends.
		Melchett and Harper arrive and interview the rather forgetful George Bartlett, a hotel guest and the last person to see Ruby alive.

	[No title]
		Peter Melchett, like Tolstoy, Kropotkin, Engels, Orwell and Tony Benn, was engaged in counter-identity politics, which require a great deal of purpose and self-confidence to sustain.
		It was a staggeringly naive and stupid decision, which has destroyed his credibility and seriously damaged Greenpeace's (as well, paradoxically, as reducing his market value for Burson Marsteller), but it is consistent with the thinking prevalent in some of the bigger organisations.
		Not that Melchett, Porritt, Parkin, Bellamy and co should not be defended in their own right; they've been campaigning on the frontline with consistency and integrity for more than 25 years.

		Lord Melchett and his activists admitted using a motor mower to attack the six-acre field, part of the Government's programme of farm trials of GM crops.
		Lord Melchett, who farms 890 acres at Hunstanton, Norfolk, said: "The prosecution could not convince the jury that these people were guilty of criminal damage and we are delighted that their honesty has not been called into question with their acquittal on the charge of theft.
		Lord Melchett said that he had had two meetings with Tony Blair in 1998 and 1999, and formed the view that the Government "was not going to rein in or slow down the introduction of these crops into the environment".

		Himself the owner of an 890 acre (3.6 km²) farm, Lord Melchett was arrested in 1999 when he was present at an environmental protest against a genetically modified crop trial, at which crops were destroyed by campaigners.
		Melchett severed his ties with Greenpeace in 2002 when he took up a part-time consultancy with industry PR company Burson-Marsteller.
		Burson-Marsteller had formerly been PR consultants for Monsanto, and it was alleged at the time that Lord Melchett had stood down from Greenpeace's Board following accusation that his employment with Burson-Marsteller compromised his integrity.

		According to the Farmers Weekly (March 19, 1999) Melchett's 800 acres in north-west Norfolk were not farmed organically at all.
		His reasoning for not converting all his land over to organic was that the market prices were not in his favor, but as soon as those prices went up he'd make the change.
		Now complete, he can "retire" to his consultancy with the food retailers whose pockets he's helped to line and to increase his profits from his (soon to be) organic farm holdings.

		It was not the first time Peter Melchett had resorted to this kind of direct action.
		He is not opposed in principle to GM technology but believes any testing should be in the laboratory, not in the fields.

	Sustainable Business Insider Article
		I’ve been reminded of Tiny by the mini-storm over news that Lord Peter Melchett, the former head of Greenpeace UK and a leading figure in Britain’s rather radical anti-genetic engineering movement, is to work part time with the global public relations giant Burson Marsteller.
		It has to be said that Melchett, a former British Labour Party MP, was far from being a conservative environmentalist.
		So the world needs top environmentalists, like Lord Melchett, who are prepared to engage with business, to work inside it, to learn its ways, to promote better performance where they can AND to keep their green flame burning.

		Lord Melchett was stated unequivocally he will not give up for modify such extremist positions.
		To be consistent with his stated, uncompromising beliefs Lord Melchett should advise companies with interest in GM to stop researching, developing, commercializing and marketing GM products because these products must stopped in their tracks or, better yet, before they are even dreams.
		As Lord Melchett said: “If I think a company should be closed down, I shall tell them.” Shutting down a business is simply a preemptive attack that makes banning a GM product unnecessary.
