BEWARE of undercover BBC reporter making a secret agent film

Thee BBC reprter "Jason Quin" or whatever he calls himselfe has been spoted at a anarchist meeting and engaging activists in direct conversations as well as at 2 locations in the AREA.
this mole who blew open the BNP has grown his hair and a beard and is wearing jeans with a patch on the knee, a white shirt and denim Jacket, he has a camera built in to his clothing and obviousally involved in some kind of "secret agent" smear film to be shown on the BBC.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

Get this. Andrew Gilligan from the evening standard, who exposed the dodgy dossier was caught infiltrating the anarchist assembly. Amazingly few people recognised him. Once outedrecording the meeting - his bag was confiscated and his notes taken after a melee stopping him leaving the building.

Many of these so-called journalists have always been used as undercover assets for British intelligence. This was true during the Cold War and afterwards.

Do you really believe that some reprters can be bothered to 'uncover' your
'happy little campers group'.. I mean I've been part of many groups and protests
but it always makes me wonder when the activists in the group are getting so worried about 'moles and stuff'. After all, don't you think they got better things to do with their time?

Besides...is what you are planning..soooooo secret that if gets known before you are about to do it..that the whole world will be a worse place to live??

Anyways, I'll be there protesting (peacefully, as boring as i am) and I hope you won't get your plans foiled by evil reporters...

Good work. That'll narrow down the search.

No doubt it is true, but no doubt the state has long term infiltrators and informers within the anti-authoritarian 'movement'.

Stupid question, where have you been? Of course reporters can be bothered. Have you missed the dozens of articles by 'investigative' journalists 'infilitrating' open public meetings of activists etc. LIke the 'secret anarchist training camp' on the run up to the G8, or the EarthFirst! summer gathering, or even the Essex Hunt Sabs - all attended by undercover journalists.

> don't you think they got better things to do with their time?

Like what, sneaking into sandhurst with pretend bombs? or taking photos of celebrity celulite?

Well, it would be a worst place for those who have spent a lot of time and effort trying to organise a blockade. Might also mean prison time for some.

Blockades not peaceful then? Or perhaps you equate peaceful with lawful?

Spotted

we spotted him yesterday , we only placed who he was when we read this article and looked at the pictures, he was with two other men and he left them and made his way in to the meeting, he stood up when gilcrist was evicted, this may have been the plan, to make his silly little films make more sense by throwing in some action.
someone may have his picture as we saw lots of cameras and video gear. check your pictures

some of the reporters "infiltrating" meetings are not necessarily there to "expose" "anarchist" tactics. Some journalists actually share your beliefs would love nothing more than to expose how you are treated by the police. For that, they have to infiltrate your meetings for credible cover.

It may sound absurd, but, belive me, take it from one who knows.
