That article seems to be up on a couple websites. That's the old one where it claims the lab will be category 4 (which it isn't) and will have ebola (which it won't).

No sign in it of any reference to 28 Days later, though, unless that was on a picture. Can you just say "dubbed by campaigners" until you can find a link that proves that press called it that first?

Norvello you are wrong. It DOES refer to 28 days later in articles

If you look at the article on their facebook it does in fact include an article by Mark Prigg that refers to 28 days later. It seems you haven't looked at it and are just a point scoring and petty mrc nasty.

There have been FIO reports requested by Camden Councillors about safety concerns. Civil servants have documents regarding safety concerns and we have letters form the British Transport Police regarding their own concerns and subsequent visit to Camden Council about safety [The lab is planned for alongside St Pancras International], so you can rest assured we are making sure that any evidence that suggests that the lab poses a risk to safety is being followed up.

Apologies - again, am not on FB. But would really like to know where the article says it is like the 28 Days Later lab.

Apologies if it's really obvious from the scan, but there are lots of copies of the text of that April 23, 2008 Evening Standard article online. Like here:  http://goliath.ecnext.com/coms2/gi_0199-8883080/Terror-fears-over-disease-laboratory.html

And in none of them do they mention "28 Days Later". Would really like to know - maybe it's mentioned in a sentence that only appeared in the original you can copy and paste on here? Or is it in a photo or caption or something else that isn't in the plain text version?

Flattered that you think I'd have the scientific knowledge to work for the MRC, but no. I've also been accused on here of working for the Labour party, the BBC, The Guardian, Shac, MI5, MI6, the police, the Freemasons and so on. None of it true, but you can tell yourself that if it makes you happy. I'm afraid I'm just a Londoner who thinks there's a lot of great reports on Indymedia, but gets irritated by innaccuracy and scaremongering. I'd love it if independent media could be more honest and accurate that the corporate media.
