Probing environmental activists and anarchists, quite literally UPDATED
Ondrej Lipar from Prague | Wikimedia Commons
Plainclothes cops in Britian routinely slept with members of activist groups they infiltrated, a former officer has charged in a titillating story that is bound to give new meaning to the term “undercover investigation.”
From The Guardian:
The former undercover policeman claims that sexual relationships with activists were sanctioned for both men and women officers infiltrating anarchist, leftwing and environmental groups.
Sex was a tool to help officers blend in, the officer claimed, and was widely used as a technique to glean intelligence. His comments contradict claims last week from the Association of Chief Police Officers that operatives were absolutely forbidden to sleep with activists.
The one stipulation, according to the officer from the Special Demonstration Squad (SDS), a secret unit formed to prevent violent disorder on the streets of London, was that falling in love was considered highly unprofessional because it might compromise an investigation.
He said undercover officers, particularly those infiltrating environmental and leftwing groups, viewed having sex with a large number of partners “as part of the job”.
Update: Sex infiltration of some right-wingers.

We knew far-left groups had no morals anyway. Notice how there are never “right-wing” anarchists to infiltrate. It’s because conservatives don’t cause trouble. Our protests are infrequent but always peaceful.
Just wondering what such an ‘inflitrator’ would look like. Somebody from the MSM coming to church “hoping” to see or hear something? I think such a person would have a tough time finding someone to sleep with them, anyway.
Hum??
Note “infiltrating anarchist, leftwing and environmental groups” but no mention of rightwing.
How could that be?
A British friend, just sent me this follow up article.

That is just disgusting on so many levels.
Leftwing chicks are easy. Why else would a white male get involved with leftwing politics?
$5 Freddie,
You must not get out much because R/W chicks are pretty damn easy. Most don’t care about my politics whatsoever.
“I’m a republican because Daddy was a republican, blah, blah, blah.”
“Bartender, another Jack and Diet Coke for my inebriated friend and put some wings on that check!”
Reference the Ann Coulter thread from a few days ago. Girl has a proven track record of taking a hit from anything registering a pulse. If you think wingnut girls are some sort of paragon of virtue you obviously haven’t spent an evening in Rocky Mount.
What’s the age limit to sign up for this “Perilous” duty?
Frankly, When trying to hit the hay with a gal, politics never comes up. We talk more about what she liks (which I generally agree with) Past jerk boyfriends and girlfirends from hell, what do you like to drink, then my place or yours and should I pick up condoms on the way?
Steve C: You talk like being easy is a bad thing. I’ll schedule my next vacation in Rocky Mount.
The policemen had to honor the girls’ offer. Otherwise their cover would have been blown.

As if any woman is looking at vile-talking unstable 45-year-old still living with his mum.
“We talk more about what she liks (which I generally agree with)..”
Excellent strategy, CiP.
Suz,
My Mother passed away in 2006. Tell me again why she’s relevant to this thread?
To call you a woman is to denigrate the entire gender. You are a pathetic waste of x chromosomes.
I do not know about England but here in the states they would try anything and everything to discredit the environmental movement back in the 1970′s. The Clearwater project that is still going had a few things happen like throwing rocks in our window office or cutting the lines to the boat of a 96′ sloop that set the boat in the middle of the night floating in the Hudson river. It was very luck no one was killed.
But never heard of someone using sex as a weapon against the green movement. It kind of show that how weak they must be is use something like that.
Hilarious that something so notorious as “a Catholic schoolgirl” is embedded in our lexicon for a reason and still Psycho-Suzie want to say “far-left groups had no morals anyway”! The disconnect is chilling. You are truly glue PS!

OK, so you inherited the trailer. My point remains the same. Why would a woman of any stripe pay attention to a foul-mouthed middle-aged man who apparently hates women?
#14 I hope you have some good spray for your foot. It’s probably pretty chapped from being in your mouth so much.
A new low for #14 when you think she could not going any lower.
Shame on you!
“#14 I hope you have some good spray for your foot. It’s probably pretty chapped from being in your mouth so much.”
Wrong topic, gdad. The entries for the Greg Habeeb caption contest go here.
#17 Dang it, Dan, messed up again!
“Why would a woman of any stripe pay attention to a foul-mouthed middle-aged man who apparently hates women?”
Your comprehension skills suck. It’s obvious that I adore women. It’s the sexually ambiguous and infertile trolls masquerading as women that I don’t care for.
This story begs the question, If you have sex before “falling in love”… can you really maintain that sexual relationship without developing feelings?
My guess is that most men would say yes… most women would say no.
Lynda K,
No. Has to be an emotional connection.

That statement right there makes it obvious you don’t understand women. When you insult one, you’ve insulted us all. Talk about some fat woman to your ‘girlfriend’ or making fun of someone you think is infertile. See how your ‘girlfriend’ reacts.
“When you insult one, you’ve insulted us all.”
You must not know many women. Which is pretty much in keeping with the rest of your persona.
I’m sure Steve’s girlfriend would be kind enough to pity you.
Maybe Krissy IS Steve’s girlfriend. The profile fits. He disrespects women, and she’s a doormat, and they’re the only ones defending each other’s crazy inanities.
You, Suzie, are NOT “one of us”!

No, Suz, I obviously understand women far better than you do. The freshman mistake men of both sexes make is assuming what one woman preferred automatically applies to the next. Nothing could be further from the truth. All women are 100% unique and must be approached with an open a curious mind. Individual women are like a journey without a map; you have to find your own way. And it’s always a great trip because the scenery is always different.
People like you, on the other hand, are completely predictable. Your sexual ambiguity and infertility completely erases away any of the female mystique that normal woman have; thus, your jealousy of normal women like Kristen, Lynda K and Sandi and the anger you display at men like me who appreciate them at your expense.
Hope this helps. If you need further assistance in understanding the way the female mind works, let me know and we’ll have coffee sometime and I’ll get you squared away.

So Suzie, does this mean you won’t be insulting fat women anymore?
Debbie @ 27: “So Suzie, does this mean you won’t be insulting fat women anymore?”
Fat chance.
