We know that the Stasi in East Germany and the KGB in Russia spied on their populations. We were told that this is what totalitarian Communist States do. However, State surveillance of the British public is something that the Security Services have always been reluctant to talk about or to disclose. The emphasis has always been on counter terrorism and counter espionage to protect the State and the British public.
The
Mitting inquiry into undercover police surveillance in Britain, has now
disclosed that at least 24 undercover police officers had infiltrated
and were spying on the Socialist Workers Party (SWP), between 1970 and
2007. Secret files were even compiled on a 15-year-old boy who was
buying the SWP's newspaper. Some of these undercover police officers, such as Robert Lambert (see above), are
known to have entered into sexual relationships with women they spied
on, and to have fathered children with them. Talk about getting into bed with the enemy.
