@out_of_lives The police continue to spy on all kinds of campaigners, and curtail our right to protest.
This is why it's important to oppose the proposed new Police Crime & Sentencing Bill... ImageImage
@out_of_lives These changes must be opposed.

@netpol have launched an urgent petition calling on the National Police Chiefs Council to adopt new guidelines to protect the right to protest – or explain why they refuse to do so. Image
@out_of_lives @netpol In their words:
Rather than continuing to ask the police and other authorities for greater transparency and getting nowhere, we think it’s time we collectively started offering some solutions of our own. That’s why we’ve developed the Charter for Freedom of Assembly Rights.
@out_of_lives @netpol Fighting the Bill is important, but this will be a long struggle and it goes beyond Parliament.
We need to organise. Sign up to @netpol and join the fight.

#Spycops
We began with a summary of HN2401's evidence being read by a member of the @ucpinquiry staff, Elizabeth Campbell.
This officer's name is Anthony Greenslade.

He joined the police in the mid 50s, and Special Branch in 1960.
@ucpinquiry He worked at Britain's seaports, and after a spell in Anguilla, returned to London in 1970 to work in a section that was concerned with Black Power for around a year.

Next, he was asked about the Registry Files he earlier admitted to taking along to the SDS safe house, e.g. ucpi.org.uk/wp-content/upl…
Was this because the managers wanted to target those individuals or because the #spycops officers asked for info about them?
The managers
He went on to explain that these requests for info were usually accompanied by notes (often from other parts of Special Branch) so he would put the notes in the bags too and take them to the #spycops
Barr: 'SP' and 'C' appear on the page – we've been told these are security classifications, and stand for Secret Pink and Confidential. Did you add these markings?
