BBC: Police informer ended Newbury protest

jjf | 06.11.2002 13:21

BBC online piece on the spy who helped police destroy the Newbury Bypass protest camp.

"And what of the Newbury agent? His cover was so good and his information so accurate, that Special Branch then directed him to infiltrate the animal rights movement.

He might still be there today, or inside some other protest movement. Perhaps he has retired. We simply don't know. Nor do the protestors."
