Gun fears over Camden "Super Virus Lab"
Camden Against Danger Lab : Machine gun misdelivered & sniper / police fears | 19.12.2008 21:52 | Animal Liberation | Bio-technology | Social Struggles | South Coast | World
The Camden Gazette reported this week that a sniper from a council estate in Camden shot out the windows of an office block belonging to the Guardian newspaper, leaving massive holes in the windows. This week a police machine gun was accidentally sent to a granny. Armed police were found guilty of shooting innocent Brazilizn Jean Charles De Menezes. All this bodes badly for proposed Camden "Super Virus Lab".
there are plans to build a huge virus containment facility alongside St Pancras Eurostar behind the British Library on a Camden council house estate, by a consortium comprising of the MRC, NIMR, CRUK, UCL and Wellcome Trust.
This has been widely opposed by locals, councillors and MPs. MI5 leaked fears to the Evening Standard.
There are fears that armed police would patrol the estate as a result of the Super Virus Lab as a result leading to worries that innocent people could be shot by armed police, particulalry following a sniper attack from a Camden council estatte towards the Guardian's offices.
this week a police machine gun was wrongly delivered to ashocked granny when a couriwer made a postal error.
Imagine if a courier {who routinely take tissue samples to and from labs} accidentally delivered a sample of deadly anthrax or Bird Flu to Camden resident? It could happen.
This deadly virus lab does not yet have planning permission. Please oppose.
There is always a chance that human error could occur and that a virus leak could devastate not just the immediate area but could find it's wayinto the Channel Tunnel...
The plans themselves could even find their way into the "wrong" hands by mistake etc.
Please oppose planning permission on this dangerous lab idea.
The architects designing the lab are :
HOK International
214 -216 Oxford Street
London
The engineers are :
ARUP
8 Fitzroy Street
London
Adams Kara Taylor
2 Farringdon Road
Islington
London
EC1
The lab is widely opposed by locals and goes against Camden council's own planning brief that callls for 50% social housing. The consortium have admitted that they will build "no houses".
A second lab is also planned for Camden on the Hampstead Road...on the current site of the Margarete Centre that would close as a result, potentially meaning that Camden's 4,200 Class A drug addicts could be left without help following Frank dobson's statement that he oppese needle exchanges... the closure of the Margarete Cntre could therefor mean that these facilties would not be replaced.
The lab plans are ill thought out and haphazard. The British Transport Police who would have to deal with evacuation in the evnt of emergency were not even consulted or informed on this....whcih is terrifying.
The communities of Camden and Islington feel terrorized by the lab consortium.
This must be opposed.
You can oppose planning permission by writing to Camden Council.
