Sparks & supporters Occupy Network Rail
16-12-2011 22:55
Sparks held a picket at 6pm at Kings Cross station.
Sparks & supporters from IWW, Anarchist Federation, Solidarity Federation, Boycott Workfare and some SWP met at the rear of Kings Cross. Had a quick leafleting of the site and moved off towards Network rails nice new office block. There the activixts went to the 6th floor reception and asked to speak to management. Bizarely, British transport police barricaded the activists in the reception, keeping them imprisoned.(legal?)
Then the Met police turned up, they were talking about an aggrivated tresspass. The activists then left the building after half an hour. No arrests were made. Interesting that the police seem to hold back from confrontation, so far, unlike the uncut actions. A Guardian journalist turned up and spoke to the Sparks. There has been a media blackout on these weekly actions.
Women take legal action against undercover cops
16-12-2011 20:55
According to a new article in the Guardian, 8 former lovers of undercover cops have started legal action against police chiefs for the psychological suffering they've endured. The women include three former lovers of Mark "only twice" Kennedy, two former lovers of Jim Boyling, and women who had relationships with Mark Cassidy, Bob Lambert and John Barker - a name that doesn't seem to have been associated with undercover policing of activism before (but could it be this man?)
The women say that the cops "deliberately and knowingly deceived them" using them "physically and emotionally" in a manner that was "deeply degrading" for intelligence purposes. They are threatening to sue the Metropolitan police on human rights grounds for the psychiatric and psychological injuries their experiences have caused them. Police chiefs (the Guardian doesn't name them) will be sued for "assault, deceit, negligence and misfeasance in public office" They also demand full disclosure of details of the undercover officers' activities.
It is fantastic that these women have refused to be cowed by the abuse and have come together to fight back. I wish them every success and hope it is a further blow to the scum who have used and abused so many.
