Camden Lab - Councillor speaks out against community on Camden Animal Lab

There are plans to build a deadly "Super Virus Lab & Animal Testing facility on the Somers Town council house estate. The lab plans have been criticised by MI5, MPs, councillors & local residents. The lab will hold dealdy viruses such as Anthrax and Bird flu. Foot & Mouth disease was leaked form similar govt facilty Pirbright in Surrey. The lab will hold animals such as cats & dogs.

When asked to support the community on this, elected Camden Councillor for Regents Park, Theo Blackwell replied [via Facebook] "...sorry but I don't..."

This is as bad as Frank dobson MP for Camden, stating "I might not be able to stop the lab consortium as they have a lot of money but at least I stopped the needle excahnge" which is despeartely needed.

There are 15,000 people on a housing waiting list in Camden where there are around 25,000 council homes. Campigners are asking that council homes and community facilites are built instead of adeadly "Bio Hazard & Animal Torture Lab".
