Home Secretary Sajid Javid & Policing Minister Nick Hurd both publicly criticised Lush #spycops campaign for verbally criticising police. When hundreds of far-right physically attack police on the streets: nothing.
54 #spycops have been named. Two of them briefly spied on the far right. Many more were deployed, and for longer, in anti-racist groups. The political policing has a political focus.
A leaked email from the head of the #spycops units said the EDL weren't considered domestic extremists. Around the same time, Climate Camp was described by spycop managers as 'sitting in the priority area' of domestic extremism.

Specifically they started spying on @GreenJennyJones after she was elected to the GLA & on the Metropolitan Police Authority, the Met's scrutiny body. It continued for over a decade. In 2012 she was given a redacted copy of her file.
After Jones was assured unnecessary people had been removed from the #spycops databses, there was another check for her file in 2014. A whistleblower says most entries in her file were then destroyed do the presented version wouldn't show the whole truth theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/j…

There has never been a civil war in Syria. What happened in Syria was an invasion by US-led coalition

The Reichstag Warning ⚠️⚠️⚠️

By @TimothyDSnyder
THREAD ✔
On February 27, 1933 the German Parliament building burned, Adolf #Hitler rejoiced, and the #Nazi era began.
1/
#Hitler, who had just been named head of a #government that was legally formed after the democratic #elections of the previous November, seized the opportunity to change the system. “There will be no mercy now,” he exulted. “Anyone standing in our way will be cut down.”
2/
The next day, at Hitler’s advice and urging, the #German #president issued a decree “for the protection of the people and the state.”

I suppose there was also this event: the poisoning of Dawn Sturgess and Charlie Rowley with the same substance as the Skripals.

yahoo.com/news/british-p…
There are claims that Dawn and Charlie collected the nerve agent vial from a crack hideout at Queen Elizabeth Gardens in Salisbury.

So I guess Novichok is now a street drug that anybody can grab?

thesun.co.uk/news/6722067/n…
Home Secretary Sajid Javid called for Russia to explain Amesbury's poisonings. British detectives have said it was an item contaminated with Novichok. Dawn and Charlie had also been to Salisbury on June 29.
