The People vs McDonald's - Mark Steel presents a new podcast series telling the shocking story of how McDonald's & #spycops infiltrated & undermined London Greenpeace.
A spycop helped write London Greenpeace's briefing on McDonald's, the corporation then sued the group for libel. But 2 of them - Helen Steel & Dave Morris - stood their ground. They had to conduct their own defence while McDonald's hired expensive lawyers.

That leaflet was actually written by an undercover cop

O-M-G!
They caught me ... *ahem* ... doing something ...
New - our report of Eric Docker, spycop manager 1986-8, at the Undercover Policing Inquiry. Even among spycops he stands out as horrible, self-contradicting & lying.
It's a very long read but it's full of jaw-dropping gall & weird incidents. If you want to understand how corrupt, cruel, deluded & pointless spycops were & see their contempt for justice & citizens, this is the one.
still still being hacked
The #spycops public inquiry has extended its timetable into 2027 & beyond. While nobody like delays, we do want a thorough inquiry rather than a rush job. The blame for the length lies with police obstructions 2014-20 & the Inquiry letting them do it.

New on our site - report from the #spycops public inquiry's questioning of 'AFJ', a hunt saboteur & antifascist activist in the 1990s who was spied on by officer HN2 Andy Coles. He exposes the farcicality & lies of Coles's deployment.

Well yes. Undercover cops having sexual relationships with female activists who were doing nothing wrong or illegal is indefensible.
These tactics went on for decades, and likely still do
How much did all this cost the taxpayer?
Destroying people's private lives and those of the cops' own families?
The only illegal activities uncovered seem to be those committed by cops themselves-for which they were given permission by higher authorities!

There's a lot of interesting detail in the book.
One that stands out is that SOCA - Serious Organised Crime Authority reported that the NPOIU (the spycops unit) "lacked any form of operational impact or outcome assessment....."
And "lack of any real measure of success or otherwise of the operation makes proportionality in its widest sense difficult to justify to the public"

Current reading.
Very well written account by a woman who fought back.
Recommended reading for anyone involved in activism or wants to know how the state machine works to protect the interests of capitalism.

deceiving women into long-term intimate relationships without any chance of consent
illegally supplying activists' details to illegal employment blacklists, ruining 1000s of lives
misleading courts & fitting up dozens (100s? 1000s?) of activists with wrongful convictions
That so many #spycops did several, even all, of these things, and that it was passed on as tradecraft to different genetarions of officers means that it must be examined in one overarching inquiry.
As the #spycops public inquiry moves toward the era that's not-so-ancient history, police are calling for it to be wound up because it's gone on too long & cost so much money - due to police stalling tactics. We all deserve the whole truth.

Good article on the absolutely horrid “spycops” scandal in the UK

Kate Wilson was deceived into a relationship by #spycops officer Mark Kennedy. She fought a 10 year legal battle to get 1000s of secret police documents & have the whole spying operation ruled unlawful. Next week, she publishes her book Disclosure.
