THE undercover policing public inquiry has finally confirmed that the joiner many of us knew as Mark Cassidy was in truth an undercover police officer. His real name is Mark Jenner and
He
also infiltrated rank and file groups including the Building Worker
Safety Campaign, the meetings of which he chaired at the Colin Roach
Centre in Hackney. Jenner / Cassidy also targeted RMT, Unison, CPSA,
TGWU and was on numerous picketlines including Dahl Jenson at Waterloo,
JJ Fastfoods at Tottenham Hale and L.B. Southwark DLO.
Mark
Cassidy / Jenner was first publicly named in by an article by
journalist & union activist Mark Metcalf and in Blacklisted book by
Phil Chamberlain & Dave Smith. The Met Police issued a public
apology to 'Alison', the activist he lived with during the five years of
his deployment. It is shameful that the Met and the public inquiry have
taken so long to admit that Mark Cassidy was an undercover police
officer from the Special Demonstration Squad, something that everyone
has known for years.
'Alison', Mark Metcalf, UCATT
(now part of UNITE) and blacklisted workers Brian Higgins, John Jones,
Steve Hedley, Frank Smith, Dan Gilman & Dave Smith (who attended
meetings, protests and pickets with Mark Cassidy / Jenner) have all been
granted core participant status in the undercover police public
inquiry.
This public confirmation about
Mark Cassidy comes just a week after the Met confirmed that police
provided information to the building industry blacklist.
Blacklist Support Group send a huge hug to 'Alison' and all the women activist at
Police Spies Out of Lives for their inspirational battle to force the
authorities to tell the truth about the undercover police officers that
abused them.
