What the problem is

In 2007 the UK Government sold public land situated behind the British Library in Somers Town, Camden, London, UK - to a consortium made up of the Medical Research Council, University College London, Cancer Research UK and the Wellcome Trust, for them to build a potentially high risk UK centre for medical research and innovation. Many local residents had hoped the land would be used to build new affordable housing and facilities for the community.

Residents across the borough are horrified by such a dangerous, largely secretive establishment being build, and are fiercely opposing the development.

The development has also caused outrage from residents across the London Boroughs as well as nation wide, who object strongly to the cruel and outdated use of animals in medical/scientific experimentation.

The Truth about Gladys Hammond

The below link brings you to a site that makes for interesting reading about the widely reported case of the animal rights campaigners who according to various reports where responsible (amongst all their other alleged crimes) for digging up a grave and removing the body of Gladys Hammond. An example HERE of the mainstream reporting of the case from the Guardian newspaper.

http://netcu.wordpress.com/2009/03/02/netcu-watch-the-truth-about-gladys-hammond/ The Daily Mail newspaper recently published a story that implicated animal rights campaigners being behind the sabotage of a well known brand of over the counter pain relief tablets. Heres what the newspaper said "Yesterday the Daily Mail reported that animal activists could be behind the sabotage operation with the intention of damaging Reckitt Benckiser. It is thought the company may have been targeted because it tests products on animals" No other reports ( that i'm aware of) mentions who is thought to be responsible for the sabotage.
