Undercover policing enquiry

[Pickman's model]

yes it does moonbats that value bunnies over humans can fuck off and want to play at terrorist deserve all they get.
most of the police actions were pointless at counterproductive that one wasn't
Greenham common and cruise watch fair one your hanging around military bases.
Stephen Lawrence was Evil and stupid and completely unjustifiable.
was being ordered to infiltrate the SWP punishment duty?

so you think they deserve being targeted by loyalist death squads or being gunned down by the sas or being rendered to more er flexible foreign governments for in-depth interrogation and being sentenced in courts without juries. Get a fucking sense of perspective

“Graham Coates” infiltrated International Socialists/Socialist Workers Party, Zero Collective, Anarchy Collective, Libertarian Anarchist Group; 1976-79

Lol. Given the level of bad feeling between Zero and Anarchy that must have been some fancy footwork.

SPYCOPS inquiry chairman John Mitting “sunk to new depths” yesterday when he called into question the “humanity” of anyone who might release the real name of a notorious spycop, a woman duped into a long-term relationship has told the Star....

Spycops probe chair Mitting has 'sunk to new depths'

The obvious thing to do here is respond by releasing Neri's real name. I can see that having unfortunate legal implications though.

As for protecting his daughters, he should have protected them himself by not being a rapey cunt in the first place.

Surprise surprise, bosses knew about this all along:

Bosses 'aware' of police spy relationship

Ridiculous that they were still pretending otherwise despite there being documents already in the public domain which show that having relationships with targets was not only sanctioned but encouraged.

Had they been at the evidence locker again while binge-watching bond movies?
If the groups they were infiltrating were terrorist in nature fair enough. They were not at worst irritating and something a healthy democracy should be happy with. They should be slung out for the complete waste of time and money the whole enterprise was.
If you couldn't do them for criminal acts of moral cowardice and complete lack of integrity.

Covert spying: activist's personal life monitored and recorded in detail

Some tweets from the public meeting after today's hearing of the Investigatory powers Tribunal:

short thread

 

[Pickman's model]

And loads of this will have happened while people were being told by the police there were no political police in the uk

 

[teqniq]

I wouldn't be in the least bit surprised to discover they're still at it on some level or another.

Police fail to close down undercover relationship case following new revelations

 

[SpookyFrank]

Covert spying: activist's personal life monitored and recorded in detail

From that:

At the hearing on Wednesday the Met opposed an order to disclose more documents, arguing it would waste taxpayers’ money.

How many appeals have the police fought against this inquiry? All at the taxpayer's expense?

if your "peaceful political group" masturbates to jihadi videos or the turner diaries or some other violent group then the state should be concerned or their direct actions could cause major disruption then again fair one up to a limit

It’s the use of police resources (and therefore public money) to infiltrate and undermine justice campaigns that is the most sickening. Police using their resources (which we are always told are in short supply) to prevent themselves being held to account for horrible shit they’ve done.

Which Justice Campaigns Were Spied On? - Campaign Opposing Police Surveillance

Surely if the police want to support officers accused of malpractices they should have some kind of union funded from their own pay to provide legal assistance, not other cops going undercover to destroy the case against them and gain privileged legal information from ‘the other side’. Disgusting, and there seems to be no accountability for this. The families of the victims have to not only suffer the loss of their relative but also an enduring sense of frustration and injustice for perpetrators getting away with it.

Workers Power must be well pissed off that the Sparts, and even Worthing Woodland Campaign were spied on, but they weren’t considered worth the effort.

love how we had some retiring spy chief on the tv the other day telling us how this doesn't happen and its all silly lefty paranoia.

russia hacking brexit however is just a stone cold cadwallr truth now

Police spies infiltrated UK leftwing groups for decades

The scale of the infiltration of the SWP – far larger than any other political organisation – is revealed in a database compiled following investigations by the Guardian

So apparently the police consider the SWP the greatest threat to UK capitalism.


Or was it just the easiest to get people into?

The SWP was one of the largest orgs, and possibly being a member would be handy if you wanted to infiltrate one of its front groups?

Also it's a good starting point for other infiltration - some of the other left groups would try and debate with Swappies to recruit them. Or you could rock up at an anarchist group and be all "I've seen the error of my ways, the trots are shit"

3 far right groups and 100s of progressive/leftwing ones, even though nearly all the political violence has come from the far right. Still, I'm so glad that the police are keeping us all safe from the Clandestine Insurgent Rebel Clown Army.

yeh. but there was little need to put someone into e.g. c18 when auld charlie sargent was so willing to be a state asset. don't forget, these are only (some of) the groups who had your actual spy cops in them, there will be a much larger number of groups which had informers within them, either sent in or turned/blackmailed.

Exactly - there is a whole other network of people run through Searchlight etc too.

To be fair the Sparts were probably spying on themselves each other.
