This is a special supplemental episode this week featuring friend of the show and investigative journalist Samantha Asumadu (@SamanthaAsumadu) This episode continues Sam Asumadu's interview with Tom Fowler on the topic of the Spycops inquiry, and the degree to which the British state has attempted to scuttle any and all social justice protests, while at the same time ensuring the far right has a free pass. Tom is the host of the Spycops Info Podcast, which is available here: https://spycops.info/ If you missed part 1, check it out here: https://five.libsyn.com/show/episodes/view/32524677 Spycops may not be a familiar story to American listeners, but the summarized version is: the British state has recently admitted to using secret deep-cover police to infiltrate activist groups for over 30 years, using stolen identities and encouraging officers to enter into relationships with activists (to include fathering children) only to abandon them once their mission ended. As Sam describes in this episode, the surveillance (and sabotage of activist groups) is something still happening to this day.

Tom is the host of the Spycops Info Podcast, which is available here: https://spycops.info/ Spycops may not be a familiar story to American listeners, but the summarized version is: the British state has recently admitted to using secret deep-cover police to infiltrate activist groups for over 30 years, using stolen identities and encouraging officers to enter into relationships with activists (to include fathering children) only to abandon them once their mission ended.

Please join us at patreon.com/tortoiseshack The SpyCops Scandal is possibly the biggest scandal that most of you know next to nothing about. Joining us to discuss an act of political policing that has monitored and infiltrated (mostly) left wing movements for decades is director of Ugly Mugs, Lucy Smyth and undercover policing activist and host of the SpyCops Info podcast, Tom Fowler. What they discuss and has been uncovered is truly reprehensible. Don't miss it. Tom's podcast is available here:https://www.spycops.info/

After being chased by racists through London in 1997, Ricky Reel was found dead in the River Thames. For many years, his family struggled to convince the Metropolitan Police to investigate his death. Ricky's mother Sukdhev was then later informed that SpyCops from the Special Demonstration Squad had spied on the family campaign. Lowkey speaks to the grieving mother still struggling for justice for her son almost 20 years later.“Throughout his 20 years, there hasn't been a day where I haven't missed him…the police officer told me the story, told me that Ricky and his friends had been attacked…still turned around and said, I'm sorry, I'm not going to take a statement…”While police racism has become a national issue in the United States, the situation in the U.K., if Reel's case is anything to go by, is not so dissimilar. “They were racist,” Sukdhev said of the police, adding,They were stereotyping our family because we happened to be an Asian, working-class family. And also sexism was also in there because I'm a woman. I stood up to face them.”She also claimed that once her son's body was found, the police categorically refused to investigate the matter.Continuing the conversation, Lowkey discusses the Special Demonstration Squad. This undercover unit infiltrated hundreds of groups for over 40 years, including the Justice for Ricky Reel Campaign, which Sukdhev set up to investigate the death of her son.“Why did they spy on me? All I was asking was for justice for my son. All I was asking was for you to do a proper investigation, simply because I kept on pointing on their mistakes...I felt like a  second-class citizen. They treated me like dirt," she said.Watch the whole interview here, exclusively at MintPress News.Support the showThe MintPress podcast, “The Watchdog,” hosted by British-Iraqi hip hop artist Lowkey, closely examines organizations about which it is in the public interest to know – including intelligence, lobby and special interest groups influencing policies that infringe on free speech and target dissent. The Watchdog goes against the grain by casting a light on stories largely ignored by the mainstream, corporate media.

"It was shocking. I felt a great sense of betrayal by the Police. How could they possibly do that to me? What right have they got? I've paid my taxes all my life and they spent that paying a man to come to sleep with me and deceive me. They were playing with our lives because they thought they could get away with anything so they just had a good time while doing it."FiLiA Spokeswoman Raquel Rosario Sánchez speaks with Belinda, Alison and Helen Steel - co-authors of Deep Deception: The story of the Spycops network by the women who uncovered the shocking truth- who share their experiences of being deceived by the State, the process of writing their powerful book and how they found the courage to move forward.These five women were targeted by the UK Police, through men who deceived them into intimate relationships in order to get access to their activist networks. At the time they were targeted, Belinda was a 24-year-old non-activist who worked as an accounts assistant with the Central Electricity Generating Board. Helen Steel was a 22-year-old gardener and environmental and social justice activist with London Greenpeace. She later became one half of ‘the McLibel Two' in a gargantuan fight against the McDonalds corporation. Alison was 29 years old at the time and was an English and Media Studies teacher and political activist with the Colin Roach Centre.Deep Deception is not a book about men. This is a book about women who found a tremendous source of strength within themselves, and with each other. It is a book about women who are fighting an institutional form of misogyny: the infiltration of policemen in activist groups and what happens when the State decides to deliberately target women. This could have been a book about women whose lives were destroyed and who were left with no trust in each other or in justice. Instead, Deep Deception is an inspirational story of fortitude, truth and dignity.You can purchase Deep Deception: The story of the spycop network, by the women who uncovered the shocking truth from the FiLiA Book Shop. Please learn more about the women's stories at the Police Out of Our Lives website. You can also read more about the Spycops scandal on the website built by the women who were targeted by the Police. At the moment, there is a public inquiry about the Spycops scandal. You can learn more about the inquiry on its website which started hearing evidence in late 2020.

Since 1968, the Special Demonstration Squad (SDS) and the National Public Order Intelligence Unit (NOPIU) targeted over one thousand political campaigns and activist groups, with undercover officers tasked with abusing and manipulating members of the public all in the name of undermining political participation. You can check out more from Tom's work at spycops.info, where he has been detailing the national inquiry into the SDS' activities, the lives that were forever altered and details on just who these officers were and how they operated.

Earlier this year saw the publication of Deep Deception, a non-fiction book about the Spycops scandal by five of the many women targeted by undercover police officers in the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s and into the 2010s. They were part of left-wing activist groups routinely spied on by the Special Demonstrations Squad, a police unit founded in 1968. All five were hoodwinked into believing they had met their perfect man, when, in fact, the person they shared their life with did not really exist. Instead, their partners were being played by specially-trained - and married - police officers who had stolen the identity of a dead child. This week, Hannah chats to two of them: Helen Steel and Alison* about the fascinating, mysterious, horrifying and important history of the Spycops scandal.* Not her real nameSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/standardissuespodcast.

11th January 2022 Under the rule of Johnson's right-wing populist regime, we are seeing a dramatic increase in the levels of authoritarianism here in the UK. With, for example, the Police, Crime, Sentencing & Courts Bill, the Online Safety Bill, the Judicial Review and Courts Bill, a rash of lengthy jail terms for protesters, the continuation of the “hostile environment” and the appalling treatment of refugees, all of these measures are a means of punching down at the weakest, the poorest, the vulnerable and the most powerless in society, while ensuring the repression of any opposition or dissent. This discussion meeting will look at the current situation and the general direction of the Conservative government and its loyal Labour opposition. It will discuss what we can do and how to fight it. With speakers from the ACG and Spycops campaign.

On March 21st, 2021, thousands entered the streets of Bristol in the UK to vent their anger at deaths in police custody, police violence on the streets, as well as a slate of repressive laws including the SpyCops Bill, increasing impunity for government officials breaking their own laws, as well as the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill, or simply The Bill, targeting Roma people, Travelers, lengthens youth prison sentences and criminalizing dissent and protest amidst some of the harshest Covid-19 lockdowns the UK had seen. What became known as the Kill The Bill riot led to running fights with police, burnt cop cars, a dizzying disinformation campaign by police centering themselves as victims, and over 80 people arrested to date, with more being detained and some facing years in prison. From Monday the 25th & Wednesday the 27th of October 2021, defendant Ryan Roberts will be facing trial and is calling for international solidarity. For the hour, Tom and Nicole of Bristol Anarchist Black Cross talk about the #KillTheBill, police violence in the UK, the radical scene in Bristol, anti-repression work of Bristol ABC & Bristol Defendant Solidarity, the legacy of former Bristol resident Anna Campbell, the cases of the Colston 4 as well as that of Toby Shone, prison expansion in the UK and more.

We found that audio, shared by our comrades at Dissident Island Radio. We're releasing this interview a bit early so as to get word out about Ryan Roberts' trial, so it'll be a little longer of a wait between episodes.

His support crew are asking that folks calls to Glen Elder, who is understood to be in charge of interstate transfers from Ohio Prisons, to express concern about Sean's safety, access to his legal counsel as well as family and support network in Ohio, and to question the legality of sending Sean out of state without the legally required hearing with Sean attending, which they skipped when he was sent to Virginia in 2019.

Since the 1960s, the U.K. police have been charged with surveilling and infiltrating some 1,000 political, environmental or social justice organizations. Much of this involved undercover work. As part of their false personas, many officers entered romantic relationships with activists, leading to the births of a number of children whose mothers were completely unaware of their partners' double lives. More than 20 women have come forward to claim they were “raped by the state” in such a way.Today, The Watchdog is talking to Tom Fowler about the so-called “Spycops” scandal in the United Kingdom. Fowler is a veteran activist from South Wales involved with a number of groups that were spied upon and infiltrated by police. His work can be found at SpyCops.Info, where he hosts a weekly podcast that shines a light on police malfeasance.In this conversation, Fowler notes that after the spectacular success of the anti-Vietnam War movement in the United Kingdom, the police have looked for any way to prevent other widespread radical movements from gaining momentum. In time, this technique expanded to the point where spy cops had infiltrated virtually the entire New Left, as well as the environmental movement and anti-war groups. Greenpeace, the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers, and the Fire Brigades Union were all targeted.So effective was this strategy that, at one point, the National Secretary of the Troops Out [of Northern Ireland] movement was an undercover police officer. On the other hand, the police showed no interest in surveilling violent far-right gangs or organizations, with which they became almost tacitly aligned.And while so many commentators complain about the excesses of cancel culture, the police are known to have worked with the private sector to maintain a secret blacklist of radical subversives (i.e., people who were the best union organizers), who were barred from jobs in their professions. In this sense, they became the enforcers for the upper class.The police have been less than forthcoming throughout the Spycops scandal, attempting to deny as much involvement as possible. To what extent is this policy still in place? And what techniques do police continue to use to infiltrate and derail any movement challenging the status quo? Fowler and Lowkey discuss all this in a free-flowing and explosive conversation.MintPress News is a fiercely independent, reader-supported outlet, with no billionaire owners or backers.

What's up to my rabble rousing river otters and strong courageous cockatoos! Welcome back to another fire episode of the BNP y'all! Do you like zany audio tidbits? We got 'em for you this week! Thank you for listening and supporting the pod.Tune in for Part Two of a rousing chat with my good comrade Tom Fowler, who spits truth about the immoral behavior and repugnant practices of undercover pigs in the UK.  There was a public inquiry called in 2014 in the UK to investigate the abhorrent dehumanization and degradation of "targets" by the spy cops, such as manipulating young women into long-term intimate relationships as part of their "deployment," and for using the identities of dead children in order to fill out their back stories.  Rage making stuff. We conclude the interview with me getting to ask Tom a couple questions I haven't heard him asked on other podcasts, such as to talk about his own personal journey into anarchist politics, and why he identifies most strongly with that philosophy to this day.Jump in and enjoy, and definitely check out Tom's excellent podcast here: Spycops Info. Help the BNP stay on the air and become my green frog skin angel for as little as $1/month at www.patreon.com/noetics I can haz five stars?

What's up to my rapturous red kites and perspicacious puffins!  Welcome back to the BNP, thank you for tuning in, and dang, do I have a gladsome cock-a-hoop of an episode for all y'all today, my dearest lovies and lily-footed listeners.  This week's guest is Tom Fowler, who calls in all the way from Wales to break down an ongoing public inquiry into abusive and morally abhorrent undercover policing practices in the UK. Tom is a member of an anarchist collective that was infiltrated, and he became close friends with a man who was later outed as an undercover pig. Tom and other like-minded comrades are a critical part of a growing movement to shed light on and hold to legal account undercover donut munchers who have been manipulating and abusing law abiding citizens in the UK for decades. These fuck-head cops infiltrate perfectly legal and constitutionally protected political activism groups, such as the anarchist collective Tom was a part of, then proceed to keep gratuitous and explicit notes about all the members, particularly the young women, and finally they attempt to ingratiate themselves within the group's core leadership. Spy pigs have cultivated intimate relationships with women in groups they've infiltrated, and some have even fathered children with these women, before disappearing when their "deployment" ends. And to think: the state pays them to do this. If that doesn't get you heated, I don't know what to tell ya.

Fan fav Tom Fowler joins us once again for an update on the UK Spycops inquiry and new details regarding the UK’s mass undercover police infiltration campaign. Tom’s podcast: spycops.info/spycopspod The campaign opposing police surveillance: campaignopposingpolicesurveillance.com

Jess and Jaimi try to process the experiences of the last couple of weeks, discuss women's safety, SpyCops and the Blue Lagoon where your skin accidentally burns off.

Ep 93: #SpyCops - the Undercover Policing scandal, with Tom Fowler Back in January, we got in touch with a member of the Cardiff Anarchist Network named Tom Fowler, who was spied upon by an undercover police officer back in the early 2000s. For decades, individuals across the UK have been targeted by secret police due to their involvement in political activism and community organising. Citizens have been spied on, manipulated, and abused in order to undermine democratic participation in politics. Sustained pressure from activists networks campaigning on these issues led to the calling of a public inquiry into Undercover Policing. Police Spies Out Of Lives is a support group for women affected by relationships with undercover cops. Here is what they have to say about #SpyCops: “We now know that officers adopted the identities of dead children and lied their way into the heart of protest groups. They spied on anyone and everyone who was involved in political dissent or who posed a threat to the reputation of the police; they spied on the families of those people; they formed intimate, sexual relationships and lived with women for years, even proposing marriage or fathering children before disappearing; they provided intelligence in secret that led to hundreds of people being wrongfully convicted; and they worked with private companies to create illegal blacklists, ensuring political activists could not find work.” Tom speaks to us about the history of #SpyCops in the UK, the recent #SpyCops Enquiry, and the controversial ‘#SpyCops Bill’. We talk about the policing of protest, overt and covert policing, and the criminalisation of dissent. We’re glad to be able to put some small focus on this heinous abuse of police power. Please note that this episode discusses sexual coercion and makes for heavy listening at times.

Content Warning: One mention of rape in the spycops discussionDistinctly short on Jameses, the pod shares half a pepper to talk food parcels, Elon Musk’s space feudalism, the failed attempt to rein in the new Spycops bill (thanks Kieth!), but we spend most of our time talking about the US Capitol Chicken Coup and the future of our online politics and the platforms we all love.

This week, I spoke with Dónal O'Driscoll, an animal rights activist and anarchist from the UK talking about the work of the Undercover Research Group to investigate possible SpyCops in the UK, share resources by those harmed by the lies of long term undercovers in activist communities and the current Inquiry that activists are using to unearth the legacy of police infiltration since the 1960's.

Boris Puppet Masters We discuss In no particular order today, with Jimmy, Stewart and Norry all present….. Test & Protect, Long Covid, Hospitality, Beer, No.10 puppet masters, Spycops, Excess Covid deaths, John Major, Martin Bashir, Lady Diana, INEOS Grangemouth, Trump…… And mine’s a Double Referendum.

The Covert Human Intelligence Sources (Criminal Conduct) Bill known as SpyCops is one of the most controversial pieces of legislation before Parliament – and the Labour Party is only timidly opposing it. Is a bill that permits state agents to break the law defensible? Where do we draw the line? Scottish Labour MSP Neil Findlay explains why he's campaigning against the CHIS Bill, where Keir Starmer is falling short, and the deeper background of the Undercover Policing Inquiry into 40 years of undercover surveillance. “We've seen appalling crimes committed against ordinary people by agents of the state… ”“There's no fascist groups on the list, no extreme right groups. Everyone investigated is on the Left.”“In Scotland we had the police investigating the police. Surprise surprise, they found there's nothing to see here, guv.”“To raise a child and then discover that the father wasn't who you thought they were… Some of these women consider that they'd been raped by the State.” “How did a union activist know their phone was being tapped? They wouldn't pay the bill for two years and never got cut off…”Presented by Ros Taylor. Produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producer Jacob Archbold. Music by Kenny Dickinson.

In November 2015 London's Metropolitan Police was forced to apologise to seven women "tricked into relationships" over a period of 25 years by officers from two undercover police squads. The officers involved - just some of 140 officers who took part in such operations - had eventually vanished, leaving victims feeling as if – in their words - they had been subject to "psychological torture". The disclosures led to the closing of the units concerned, and the setting up the Undercover Policing Inquiry under retired judge Sir John Mitting. One group representing at least 30 victims of such practices, which my interviewee in this episode is associated with is Police Spies Out of Lives who work with other groups and jointly operate a campaign called Spycops, which aims to bring out the truth and get justice for the victims to ensure that such activities never take place again.

QUITALY = Quit-Italy On this episode of #TyskySour Michael Walker and Aaron Bastani are joined by political sociologist and author Paolo Gerbaudo to talk about what’s happening in Italy and why it matters to the Left and to the EU. We’ll also be discussing #SpyCops, Islamophobia in the Tory Party and more.

In this episode of the podcast, Missi and Alex joins Mike Cow in the studio to discuss why there is no national outcry about the #spycops scandal. We discuss what has been happening in undercover policing in the UK for decades now as the aithorities target peaceful activists and invade their livers in the most profound manner, the associated factors which see the victims of this heinous approach to 'policing' have their lives turned upside down and practical ways we can overcome these issues and come together in support and solidarity with each other.

Langdurige relaties, trouwplannen, gezamenlijke vakanties en zelfs een al dan niet gerealiseerde kinderwens. Britse vrouwelijke actievoerders hadden serieuze, langdurige relaties met mannen die zich voordeden als geestverwanten, maar in werkelijkheid van de politie waren. Steeds meer verhalen komen naar buiten over zogenaamde ‘Spycops' die vanaf 1968 tot in ieder geval 2010 infiltreerden in Britse actiegroepen, zoals de milieu-en dierenrechtenbeweging. De Britse regering zag zich reeds in 2014 gedwongen een officieel onderzoek te beginnen.In mei dit jaar onthulden The Guardian en Channel 4 dat ook een hoge politiefunctionaris in de jaren 90 zich als politiemol diep had ingegraven en een relatie had gehad met een 19- jarige activiste. De zoveelste rel brak uit en de man in kwestie trok zich terug uit zijn functie. Onderzoeker Eveline Lubbers, die als enige Nederlandse betrokken is bij het onderzoek naar ‘Spycops' is te gast en vertelt over de Britse undercoverpraktijken.Terrorismedeskundige Jelle Van Buuren reflecteert op de werkwijze van politie en inlichtingendiensten als het gaat om het middel infiltratie, ook in Nederland.
