Undercover police officers have spied on more than 1,000 political groups since 1968. However, no official list of these groups has been published.

This database is an attempt to compile such a list. It is a work in progress and will be updated as more information is made public. The aim is to make more visible the nature and scope of a covert operation that has spanned more than four decades.

The information has been compiled following investigations by the Guardian and the Undercover Research Group, a network of activists that scrutinises the covert infiltration of political movements. The group is also publishing a similar database.

The HN or EN ciphers have been allocated to individual officers at a public inquiry that is examining the infiltration.

 
Fascinating!

Must admit I immediately looked for a Cricket category.....
 
Saw that this morning. Like something out of J Edgar Hoover's FBI.
 
Don’t tell me you are surprised. I would be surprised if these groups were not being surveilled.

Not surprising given how we've heard how undercover police officers spied even on the family of Stephen Lawrence.

The police definitely had a right-wing tilt during the 1980s and 1990s when many of these surveillance programmes were launched. We saw how they closed ranks after Orgreave and Hillsborough - South Yorkshire police in particular were known as Thatcher's private army.
 
I'm surprised they would waste their time and our taxpayer money infiltrating groups who are marginal and non-violent

But I'm outraged they committed sexual violence i.e. rape against women in these groups and in some cases leaving the children which resulted from these attacks without a father

For some reason Robert thinks this is funny
