The Spy Who Shagged Me!?

British Establishment Propaganda story back fires .. by Basildon Bond

revamped version

The desperation of the police to keep these cases out of open court shows how afraid they are of the public knowing what they are up to.

These tactics may or may not be appropriate against "hardened criminals" planning to carry out "major crimes". They are completely outrageous when used against political campaigners whose views the police and others in the establishment dislike. The police are desperate to keep their political activities out of the public eye, but thanks to the efforts of many they have not fully succeeded.

The official's ruling, relying on a fictional character who in real life would probably have died of STDs long ago, would be comical if it was not such a serious matter. Why on earth did the official make himself a laughing stock by mentioning the fictional Mr Bond? I have read his paper and am none the wiser.

In this case the glass is half full. The secret court, which has never found against officials, is not the end of accountability. At the moment it will still be possible to discuss many of the facts in open court eventually. As with the Drax train trial the pontification of officials is not always as clear cut as they implym so it may be possible to introduce things in open court as in the Drax train case. The police's next tactic will be to try and get Ken Clarke's secret courts in before this case comes to a real court and then divert it there. We must watch out for that.

Emotional and sexual abuse of political campaigners by the state is wrong. Officials need to be held to account for doing wrong.

disappointing that the hearing will now be held in secret, but no big surprise. the police and state will lie whenever they get away with it, the judge is merely doing the job the state expects him to. never trust a copper! hopefully those hurt by the actions of these slimy neurotic undercovers will get justice one day.

to all the cliamants.

Not interested in silly graphics. Justice when the traitor is six foot under.

So, the judge said that when making relevant RIPA laws, Members of Parliament must have known that undercover cops would be having sex with people.

For court room strategy, how about getting a couple of MP's to just say the opposite, that NO, they had not expected cops to be having five year relationships, having children, or getting innocent activists into the bed at all.

Might that help the women's case? Don' know what else could help except their taking to the streets, going public with the whole story and shaming the cops, and building a mass movement that demands justice in the streets.
