Controversial Camden Lab links to notorious Huntingdon Life Sciences

Celia | 03.04.2008 19:17 | Animal Liberation | Bio-technology | Other Press | London | World

The controversial Camden Lab {see www.myspace.com/londonagainstblisslab} will have links to notorious lawbreaking scum, Huntingdon Life Sciences.
SHAC top targets Novartis are on the UCL campus. The UCL are part of the consortium in with the MRC who wan to build a huge virus container facility and animal torture lab. This has recently been criticised at government level.

Write to Frank Dobson MP for St Pancras and Holborn and tell him what you think regardless of whether you are in his constituency. Tell him this affects everyone, not just in his constituency or even in London but in the event of terror attack or virus leak, the entire world.
The MRC and it's government backers are breaking Treasury rules ; spending YOUR money that they should not be allowed to have, on this evil lab.
The NHS for example would not be allowed to keep money in the way the MRC ahve been allowed. {See Guardian/eductaion April 1st 2008}
The Camden Lab will be the world's biggest animal torture lab housing hundreds of thousands of animals who will be tortured and murdered in horrific painful experiments, some of which last for years.
Novartis are a SHAC top target and are on the UCL campus. Eisai, another SHAC target are also on the UCL campus. Huntingdon Life Sciences have a grip on the UCL and as such will have input into the Camden lab.

Write to Frank Dobson and Camden councillors.
In doing so :
You will be helping SHAC.
You will be saving the hundreds of thousands of animals who will put in there "if " the lab is built.
You will be helping the people of Camden, particularly on the Somers Town council house estate where the lab is "due" to be built.
You will be helping the London against Camden Danger Lab campaign.

Green Party where?

04.04.2008 02:38

The Green Party has always pulled a good result in Camden Town, I wonder what are they doing about this and if they would help lobbying the council. I voted for them in the past and unless they take a side on this conflict that will have been the last time.

Green Party = Useless

The Green Party is useless on issues that involve vivisection, they refused to get involved when Oxford built it's torture lab.

The Green Party candidate for the area has been pushed around by the SWP Candy

04.04.2008 14:39

During the Somers Town Residents Forum meetings the Green Party candidate for the Somers Town Peoples / Residents Forum has been pushed around by the chair Candy Udwin. During one planning meeting Candy Udwin asked the Green Party rep "is the any day you can't do?" When the Green replied Thursday....that's when the next meeting was planned for.
At the first public meeting attended by hundreds of people - it was made very clear that the major concern was THE LAB.
At the next meeting there were heated arguments as Ms Udwin refused to put ANYTHING about the lab on the petitions or posters, writing "Homes Not Offices". She has also refused to spread the campaign throughout Camden or mention the word "Camden" even on any of the campaign literature.
It was only when Animal Rights activists turned up at a demo that the lab got mentioned at all in my opinion during the deputation. Under their quiet watchful eyes Candy finally said something along the lines of "we don't want a research centre to have "all" of the land.
When it was suggested that Camden businesses should be invited on board Candy said "No." As a result there area round five or six people left in the campaign. The wonderful Helia Evens. Brilliant fighter Roger Robinson, Anna Stewart and two or three other people.
We are not "attacking" local campaigners by saying this...just pointing out the truth.

Mike Greene was treated campaigners with contempt. He asked one local lady "Madam, do you even know what a council house is?" and tried to bamboozle ordinary people with political speak.
Frank Dobson wasn't much better. He said : "we can't attack the medical research centre. They have lots of money and are therefore very powerful so there is nothing we can do. At least I stopped the needle exchange." This was met with utter fury from local people who shouted at him while he sat with his head bowed. Local people were unanimous in that they are against the lab. Keith Moffitt, head of Camden council has {according to Camden New Journal has been found out ....in that he was in "secret talks with the MRC consortium" ages ago.
There has been hardly ANY media coverage on this.
Support the London Against Camden Danger Lab who are supported by a mixture of local residents, businesses and Animal Rights.

The Green party are bed fellows with the BUAV, in that both plug the illusory need for 'alternatives' to be found, which should tell you all you need to know about the worth of these two organisations. Their actions, either from stupidity or design, thus ensure the continuation of vivisection.

Sian Berry MAyor candidate from the Green Party speaks out on lab.

11.04.2008 20:14

Sian Berry has concentrated on the lab in her manifesto for Mayor has has put forward a good argument for community facilities, council homes, and against the lab which will hold deadly human viruses / animal diseases and hold hundreds of thousands of animals for experiments. Transport of deadly germs and animals will be right through the area. The whole lab idea is a disaster waiting to happen.
Sian gets our vote!
