- In the 1960s, the BBC set out to investigate local reports of secret, shocking World War Two experiments, dangerous contamination and unexplained animal deaths on a remote island off the coast of Scotland.
It was an environmental catastrophe.
The island remained dangerously contaminated and a no-go area for nearly half a century, until, on this day in 1990, the UK government finally declared Gruinard Island safe.
The truth was that Gruinard Island had been the site of a clandestine attempt by the UK during World War Two to weaponise Anthrax, a deadly bacterial infection.

it's been known to be anthrax for over 40 years maybe a little more. even the guy being interviewed said "anthrax" . this is why it has been known as Anthrax island ever since
BBC, I love you, but why not add at the end of the video that the anthrax has been cleaned up 40 years ago, the island sold back to it’s original owner for £500 and it’s now just an island like all the others in the area.
Because that would be positive news. When it comes to reporting on anything about Britain, the BBC is just relentlessly negative. It actively despises this nation and its native population, and we're forced to pay for the privilege.
You love the BBC? My god you need to read 1984

Sheep and anthrax? It’s no secret and hasn’t been for decades. 😮🇬🇧
Government paying recompensation quickly is the single most suspicious thing !
Spent my 1980’s summers in Grunyard Bay (opposite the Anthrax island as it was known) , the beach was always empty lol😂but beautiful 🙏 anthrax was thought to have worn off by then … always wondered what the story was but my mums take was ….that they should test such things under parliament buildings in London instead of up here. So great to see this
funny.. you can't even spell Gruinard so i don't believe a word of what you say pal
@@PaxTemplar A typo doesn’t make it untrue. I was very young in the 80’s, have loads of photos ‘pal’ . Can’t feel my fingers after chemo so typos happen here a lot. Thanks for your comment, good chat xx
@@PaxTemplarI know that isn’t a fib.
@@carolynfea6352 you think for a nanosecond you can try that passive aggressive nonsense on me? No.. they just won't wash with me at all.
I finished chemo last year, and am a neurodivergent , disabled veteran with costs, COPD, screwed knees and chronic sciatica.
And as such apparently I am in a "protected group" in Scottish law 😁
@@PaxTemplar We are in similar shape physically, Blood cancer, incurable 10 years, 3 rounds of chemo and radio plus hideous operations. I feel you but I cannot feel not my hands, so a typo is all. spent my summers there, we live not far away. I don’t know why you are so angry here, I loved the video. but have a better day, truly wish you well. X
Anthrax

Anthrax.
It is truly terrifying what intelligent people can and will do when they themselves are terrified.
"There is nothing to fear but fear itself" takes on a dramatically different meaning in hindsight.
Why does this remind me of a movie I saw made around the 60s? I wish I could remember the name of it. It featured a remote island, people in a guesthouse, animals dying, no way off till the ferry came back.
It's not the one frpom the Agatha Christie book in whioch the invited human guests get bumped off one by one,then.
@@rjjcms1 No. This one was more like a horror movie. At the big house on the island someone was conducting experiments in the basement rooms. It might have been 'Island of Terror'.
Wow :) obviously it was to do with the tests of the weapons. Looking back now. Grass begins to grow again.
Radiation. :)
Great thank you.
Good choice
radiation? ROFL.. it was anthrax you muppet. very very very very very presumptuous and wrong
Didn’t a ship full of whisky capsize near there too …… 😉

There's a Butlins there now .
Woh.
The island does not have any fresh water. No human habitation.
@@davecooper3238 Perfect for a Butlins then
@@davecooper3238 people don't go to Butlins for water my friend. They go there for STDs ,beer & burgers .,
But what about the kids?
And long term harm?
Ie, Cancer???
We did the NC500 a couple of years ago and spent one night parked up in a layby on the opposite side of the bay to Anthrax island after we had climbed An Teallach. A very vivid memory of mine was having a wild dump in the bushes while looking at the island while it was bathed in the light of the setting sun. Best wild dump I've ever had.
😂😂😂
Too much information 😂😂
One of those dark chapters of the Cold War. It took years to decontaminate the island.
Not Cold War. The anthrax was spread there 1942.
@@davecooper3238 But they kept the island for years, in fact in the Second World War, the MOD took over a village in Devon and never gave it back, apart from some use of the church.
@@julianaylor4351 Yep. These are common knowledge.
But is the village in Devon ? I remember it as being near Devises as just off the edge of Salisbury Plain. Could be wrong on that because my last visit was during a joint exercise in the early 1970s.
No mystery at all. It's common knowledge, all in the Public Domain as they say.
Poor Sheep.

Is that Jeremy Corbyn?

am i the only person thinking " who needs Rwanda" this place is perfect
Yes you are. Go check it out and don't let us know how you feel.
You are not alone.
Which is exactly why the Rwanda plan is bread and circus.
Hundreds of islands to offshore them, the Tories are doing as their told by the same unelected elitists who will tell the next government what to do.
Not ideal. No fresh water so all water and food would need to be shipped in. The islands location would make that expensive. Building a sewage treatment unit would not be cheap either.
@andyaclean I'd never before appreciated that your sort were capable of thought. Interesting.
The Scottish 🏴 accent makes me laugh 😆

Home of the SNP penal colony...where any non-Nationalist or vocal critic of the regime spends their days...(only joking!). Watching repeats of Nicola and Humza's greatest "hits" on 1984 style like tellies...
The secrecy is still there because they know it wouldn't be publically supported, the very idea of secrecy in a free and open society is repugnant
what secrecy? it's been known as anthrax island for decades. everyone in Scotland knows about and has done since the late 60's. NO MYSTERY AT ALL. LOL at the Kennedy mis-quote to try and make yourself sound authoritative.. you're not as every man , woman and dog knows....
also point to note, the island is clear, the original owners bought it back and there are even tours of it now ffs.
The test was performed in 1942, rules are a little different when you are in the middle of a war.
No real secret. This remote island was used as test area in 1942. The locals knew not to visit. I first saw the island in 1965. The mainland already had signs do not visit the island because of anthrax contamination.

I just want to say I am disgusted with BBC news for bringing a lady on the show today as an "expert" who is a Trump conspiracy theorist. She spewed out so many lies. Don't become right-wing propaganda. If you're going to bring some crazy person from the right on at least counter that by having someone from the left talk. I am disgusted by BBC right now. I came to this video from that video to say this.
this has got less than fuck all to do with the video subject little bot
Yea BBC....don't "become" propaganda.
LMFAO
To say something completely pointless thanks 😂
