Speaker: Dave Morris. Fifteen years ago, campaigners began to uncover a secret unit in the Metropolitan Police which had been infiltrating left wing & progressive organisations and movements since 1968. Up to 1,000 groups were targeted, including the Anti-Apartheid movement, CND, anti-racist & family justice campaigns, trade union branches, left-wing parties, anarchist, animal rights & environmental groups. Shocking tactics included engineering sexual relationships with women, acting as agents-provocateurs, hoovering up personal information on many thousands of people to send to MI5, & adopting the identities of deceased children. Come & hear how campaigners fought back, turned the tables & put the Police on trial in what has become the longest Public Inquiry in UK history.
