The spycops inquiry may not bring justice, but is an admission of the British state's long history of repressing the left

It's always been like this. I doubt there are any radical orginisations in the UK that aren't riddled with police. There used to be a story floating around in the 1980s that there was a meeting of a Trotslyist splinter group from the WRP where everyone in the meeting realised they were all police. I doubt it's true but I wouldn't be surprised if it had some element of truth.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
