Camden Super Lab Fears - "TB Detention Center Clinical Trials for immigrants"

[From previous link] : There are plans to build a "Super Lab" [2] on a Camden council house estate alongside St Pancras International, behind the British Library in Kings Cross. This has been criticised by MI5 and paperwork has revealed that lab "could be patrolled by armed police". This location has been chosen "for a reason" says a source from the Wellcome Trust who does not want to be named.

Many have been shocked at the choice of location for the controversial and reviled Camden "Super Lab" or "Super Virus Lab".

A soruce from the Wellcome Trust who fears for his safety and does not want to be named has said :

"It is going to be an immigration health screening center like Harmondsworth. This is why it is going to be next to the station, St Pancras, alot of people are coming into Briatain through here. They are blamimg immigration for TB and other diseases. They are saying that the health center will help 'communities and immigrants who are vulnearble to TB' but it will be a detention center. That is why it will be patrolled by armed police. People have no idea. This is why MI5 have issued warnings".

"Pro lab campigners such as Cathryn Symons have said that they "welcome the lab into the area given the high incidence of TB...they are not saying this for nothing...think about it...experiments can be done anywhere and it is unusual for experiments for any disease to be carried out so close to any community, they are usually done away from anywhere, out in the countryside....tests for meidicnes etc take years to complete...they don't do them in built up araes. It is because they plan to test on the immigrant communtities".

"A councillor recently blamed Somali and Bengali communities for "bringing disease" into the country and the BNP are doing the same".

"Cathryn Symons who appears to be an associate of MRC head who she calls "Les" has also said on her website that she "welcomes the lb to the area given the high incidence of TB".

"This is very worrying as this is being mentioned more and more at the Wellcome Trust...it is like they are softening people up and keep on blaming the immigrants until people will not mind about them being detained...it is like Nazi Germany all over again."

...said the Wellcome Trust employee.

The employee does not want to be named and fears for his job and for his safety.

We must stress that this has not been confirmed and that the employee does not want to be named. This isn't unrealistic, as the man has said, the location for the lab is very worrying.
