I'm only 31 and I've heard that one quite a few times

The fact that the under cover officer was an anti terrorist officer does make you wonder what they thought that the Lawrence family were! They should send a lot of police officers to gaol for this. Why they are even undercover in green groups is astounding. While I could understand if they had been going undercover against those that targeted Huntingdon Life Sciences, those protesting power station construction are not terrorists. I wonder how many Home Secretaries knew? If so they should be held accountable as well.

I suspect the first thing any new Home secretary does is to go to the security forces and give them a fairly comprehensive list of the things they might be up to that the HS doesn't want to know about..

I also suspect that Permanent Secretaries might also keep HS out of the loop as it is an administrative role not policy.

Met in racism row with itself...
