James Scobie QC is now speaking on the #spycops tactic of 'Provocation of criminality'

Now looking at the deployment of @realspycop. It started within @YREofficial, but followed @hannahssell
& @LoisAus56165562 into Militant Labour.
Francis was followed into Militant Labour, which was by then known as the Socialist Party, by another officer, Carlo Neri.

James Scobie QC pauses to address the issue of Carlo Negi's real surname, which the chair has blocked @DaveBlacklist from speaking on as he was going to name him

The name is already in the public domain (making the decision to gag Dave Smith all the more strange.

#spycops officer Carlo Negi's real name is Carlo Socacchi

Peter Francis, repeatedly tried to persuade YRE activists to engage in violence with fascists. He encouraged activists to attack others, not only in direct opposition to the ethos & aims of YRE but also completely contradicting the aims of the SDS and the purpose of the Police

in 2003, Carlo Neri took things much further than Peter Francis had ever done. He took anti-fascists to a shop in West London, that was being used for raising money for fascists.

On more than one occasion Neri suggested that they firebomb the premises. Burn it down.

Why were undercover officers encouraging criminality? Was it to discredit? Was it because the SDS were trying to justify their existence, creating crime where there was none? Was it another extension of the strategy used to keep their cover?

To what extent are they all still ongoing? At the current time, the Government is seeking to introduce legislation that, if it remains in its current form, would establish a framework for legitimising the use of criminality in undercover work. Why is that?
