WHILE THE ESTABLISHMENT ATTACKS TUBE STRIKERS THE ESTABLISHMENT TESTED BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS ON TUBE PASSENGERS

Today is a good day to run a story on this. While the establishment attacks Tube workers striking for better working conditions (some would get to see their children at weekends just TWICE a year!!), during the 1960s the same establishment used unwitting passengers on the tube as guinea pigs in chemical and biological weapons experiments!!

Secret biological warfare tests were carried out on Tube passengers by the British government during the Cold War to a greater extent than previously thought,according to new research.

Hundreds of thousands of Britons were subjected to 'mock' biological and chemical warfare attacks in more than 750 secret operations, with 4,600kg of chemical zinc cadmium sulphide dispersed from ships, aircraft and lorries between 1953 and 1964.

Professor Ulf Schmidt, a leading academic of modern history at the University of Kent, has also discovered that passengers on London's Underground were subjected to chemical exposure during secret trials on the Tube.
