Millions were in germ war tests | Politics | The Observer

If you assume the newspaper has this correct ( a first I know but bear with me ) someone needs to be brought to account for this.

It would be more surprising if they weren't still doing it!

I imagine that they are still performing tests to simulate the spread of Bird Flu etc.

the northern line exposure is relatively well known, havent heard about the others.

Thing is what would you do if in charge of the country facing a Soviet Union that was quite happy to go round invading other countries, and known to be building stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons?

MRSA anyone? they don't need to do tests today, our grubby hospitals do it for them!

Pre-emptive nuclear strike on the Soviet Union.

Obviously launched from French territory so they suffer the response

I think this is a terrible story. It is difficult to believe the arrogance of the departments who were carrying out this research.

It brings to mind the experiments carried out on innocent service personnel by Porton Down with nerve gases etc. saying that the experiments were in relation to the common cold.

These people are beyond the pale and should be brought to book!
