Police informer here, full story at -REMOVED-

The story that Indymedia has been trying to hide for months is now the subject of an in depth story at -REMOVED- see REMOVED for the link.

-REMOVED- has been a police informer for nearly seven years and as the story makes clear is still linked to the infamous Met Police SO15 unit that monitors protest groups and activists. Despite this information being known to the other members of the UK Indymedia collective for many months no action has been taken and -REMOVED- maintains his codes in to the site and full access to the I.P. logs which we are all supposed to think they don't keep.

One of the current mods -REMOVED- has said the matter is closed and the collective will not be discussing it, I don't think that is good enough and neither did the person who wrote the article.

-REMOVED- is to be congratulated for taking a stand and pointing out the parallels between this situation and that of the undercover cops who screwed with women's lives for years, it is a fundamental breach of trust and cannot be swept under the carpet and ignored.

I have heard the excuses, "he was broke, it was a bad time for him, he said sorry, we've all moved on" if it had been another undercover cop would we have accepted that ? I think not.
