Ken Livinstone has promised, as has Gordon Brown to make building new homes a "priority".However he refuses to intervene so that the most deprived & disadvantaged council estate in the country can have more council homes & community facilitites in place of the "World's largest ever, highest level, virus containment facility & animal testing lab" can be built there instead. Why? ...

Ken has been all over the press in the past couple of days promising homes, saying he will make homes a "priority".
However he refuses to intervene on one of the country's most deprived, overcrowded inner city London estates.
Somers Town estate is about to be turned into an armed guard fortress thanks to the MRC plans to be build a "super lab".
Ken was a vivisector, testing on animals for the Big Pharma industry....could this be why? Does he still maintain links with the industry?
Local residents and businesses are opposed to the lab. The site is close to St Pancras Eurostar, Euston, Kings Cross scenes of the devastating 7/7 and 21/7 bombings from which the area is still recovering and could become aterror target.
The area needs homes & community facilities urgently.
The MRC claims building the project will provide jobs. But campaigners say that building council homes & community facilities will provide exactly the same jobs.

The project is shrouded in secrecy and has been given an almost blackout in media coverage despite thisd being the biggest project {and the most dangerous} next the London Olympics in 2012. The lab is "due to open" in 2013.

Local residents, businesses, animal rights activists and many other people have joined forces in opposing the lab.
