Police provocateur allegedly co-wrote McLibel leaflet & fire-bombed a Debenhams

"An undercover police officer who posed as an environmental activist reportedly co-wrote a libellous leaflet that attacked McDonald’s and triggered the longest civil trial in English history. One of the authors of the so-called McLibel leaflet is former police officer Bob Lambert according to a book on undercover policing by Guardian journalists Paul Lewis and Rob Evans... Mr Lambert used the alias Bob Robinson during his five years infiltrating the London Greenpeace group, when he was with the Special Demonstration Squad... A raft of allegations have been made against undercover police in recent months including claims officers used dead children's identities and that some had sexual relationships with the targets of their operations... Mr Lambert, who now works as a lecturer in terrorism studies at the University of St Andrews, in Scotland, has also been accused by an MP of leaving a bomb in a Debenhams store in London in the 1980s..."

"Lambert, who rose through the ranks to become a spymaster in the SDS, is also under investigation for sexual relationships he had with four women while undercover, one of whom he fathered a child with before vanishing from their lives. The woman and her son only discovered that Lambert was a police spy last year. The internal police inquiry is also investigating claims raised in parliament that Lambert ignited an incendiary device at a branch of Debenhams when infiltrating animal rights campaigners. The incident occurred in 1987 and the explosion inflicted £300,000 worth of damage to the branch in Harrow, north London. Lambert has previously strongly denied he planted the incendiary device in the Debenhams store..."

Oh yeah, that and claiming protestors display a "sense of entitlement" started to ring hollow after the police themselves were forced to march in protest about having been fucked over a barrel by the govt about their fucking pensions

It was at a time when political activism was a mere shadow of what dwarfs it now.
Ergo, the police are now everywhere and most likely ALL acts of terrorism are probably being carried out by state agents.
The police are incapable of cleaning up their act because to them, this kind of behaviour is never wrong...and so it is for the politicians too.

Any cops out there who wanna 'infiltrate' animal rights by burning out an animal abusing business, I say go ahead; it'll be the only truely good thing you do in the worthless mess you call a life.
Fuck this cop.
Fuck all cops.

The likes of Bob Robinson are still very active in radical politics - except nowadays they're jobs even easier - they just post incitements on Indymedia, using names like Conspiracy Cells of Fire, and wait for gullible nutters to step forward and do their dirty work for them, thereby not even having to take the risks entailed by traditional false-flag attacks and agent-provocateurism themselves. You mug

Don't see Debenhams selling fur anymore do you?
Good work on the name-calling though, it TOTALLY makes you seem intelligent...
