Tuesday 16th December

Return visit by Kate Wilson, for a realtime discussion during live stream of Undercover Policing Inquiry, at #Nottingham #SumacCentre

Kate Wilson fought a 10 year legal battle to get answers about why #spycops targeted her. She forced 1000s of secret files to be released & got the whole operation declared unlawful. She's written a book, Disclosure, & is doing a speaking tour.

We went outside the national police summit (UK) and this is what happened...

When we tried to ask delegates to talk on camera, no one wanted to.

Why? Because constant monitoring doesn’t feel safe. It feels intrusive 🤷‍♂️

Today at the Undercover Policing Inquiry - evidence from Alex Owolade, targeted by #spycops for being an anti-racist activist with Movement for Justice. He's caused a stir already, highlighting fundamental flaws with the process of the Inquiry. Tom is joined by Kate Wilson from Police Spies Out of Lives.

We wrote a detailed summary of Kate Wilson's landmark #spycops case. It's in two parts starting here:
https://campaignopposingpolicesurveillance.com/2021/04/24/kate-wilson-case-exposing-institutional-sexism-spycops/

The #spycops scandal contains half a dozen aspects that frankly warrant an inquiry of their own. One of these is blacklisting.

For decades, every constabulary's Special Branch routinely & illegally passed details of political activists to illegal employment blacklisting organisations. 🧵

New details about #spycops released today by the Undercover Policing Inquiry. Ten years after the Inquiry began, it has listed groups spied on by key officers Mark Kennedy, 'Lynn Watson', 'Marco Jacobs' & 'Rod Richardson'.

With the snappy title 'Inquiry publishes information in relation to NPOIU officers whose deployments fell within Tranche 4', it refers to officers by their nominals at the inquiry rather than their names. Way to minimise interaction & understanding. 🧵

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.

Big news from the #spycops public inquiry: the Chair, Sir John Mitting, today announced his intention to retire from the role long before the Inquiry is finished. 🧵

Spycop HN85 Roger Pearce 'Roger Thorley' infiltrated anarchist groups 1979-84. He gave evidence to the spycops public inquiry in July 2024. The Inquiry hasn't posted video of him being questioned on its YouTube channel, so we've posted it on ours.

Thorley wrote anti-police articles while undercover. Afterwards he became a Special Branch manager before retiring in 2003 to write awful novels.
