Report indicts spycops, but 40 years on
The report from the first tranche of the UCPI or “spycops” enquiry has concluded that the Special Demonstration Squad (SDS) of the Metropolitan Police should have been disbanded in 1968. Retired judge Sir John Mitting has concluded that the infiltration of left-wing organisations and campaigning groups from 1968 to 1982 could not be justified.
