Last week, I received a letter from the Metropolitan Police. Presuming I have important information on the infiltration of London Greenpeace back in the 1980s, the Met wants me to get in touch to discuss the matter further. Indeed, my book Secret Manoeuvres in the Dark, corporate and police spying on activists (Pluto, 2012) includes a case study titled McSpy, detailing the infiltration of this group before they were brought to Court for leafleting McDonald’s. I have also been blogging about the case of the women against the Metropolitan Police on state-sponsored abuse at here at SecretManoeuvres.org
This open letter is my reply, with a proposal towards a properly public investigation.

Dear Chris Robson,
Thank you for inviting me to contact you about police infiltration of campaigning groups. I am open to discuss an exchange of information but not behind closed doors, hence this open letter.

record everything, If they genuinely want to investigate if a crime was committed by the police who infiltrated Greenpeace, help them but be very, very wary.
The British police although starting out to protect the rich going back to Peels time, they are no longer capable nor intelligent enough to understand ecological ideas or environmental concerns, they are unaware the corporations and others are not for the well being of the planet, as these groups are committed to exploitation of the planet, the police have a simple outlook of ideas like disturbing the peace, whilst we all enjoy peace the difference in being asleep to the environment and submitting to outrageous misfortune of the destruction of our planet are beyond police comprehension, their minds are trained in fingerprint checking and forensic but incapable of using their mind on eco analysis as they are to lazy and in a cultural state of being in sleep mode.
