Agent Provacateur? - Big Society Police Service Plea

ukuncutliverpool@groups.facebook.com

The Big Society Police Service would like to speak with this man about suspected Agent Provacateur activity on 26/03/2011.

This footage was broadcast by BBC News on 26th March 2011. It appears to show a clear instance of the reportedly widespread 'Agent Provacateur' activity on the day. Undercover police enticement and provocation of militant groups has been used in an attempt to smear UKUncut and other non-violent campaigns.

If you witnessed or have footage of this event, please come forward or make it available online yourself. Private messages welcomed.

@MofotheMook tru dat, and on this issue the only way forward is to better disseminate the core ideas and values of the revolution so more of these angry youth can better target their actions. No matter how many windows you smash or bins you burn property damage will never bring down capitalism, it also means we have to replace more bins and windows, which is a hassle.

@MASSIF101 yeah i was with the black bloc and they at least mainly were not agent provocateurs, from this video you can see him show someone something and get let through with a "pat on the back" but I showed a police officer evidence that i was under sixteen in a kettle and he let me through immedieadly, pushing my back in a way that could have looked similar to this

Prior to the surge by the protesters, these three were all standing on the police side of the phoneboxes. When the surge came, they moved quickly with the police and into the protesters.He then comes round the back of the telephone boxes (nearest to the camera), where he joins two other characters, almost the same outfit -dark hoody and light coloured peaked baseball cap and another in a burgundy hoody.

@MASSIF101 I agree that the media is culpable, but what I've taken to calling the pop anarchist contingent has played directly into theirs and the authorities' hands. There's clearly a large section of young population who have become radicalised without having any direction or coherent comprehension of the terms they bandy about so easily. In a way I feel sorry for them, but I'm also annoyed and frustrated by their actions, which have only strengthened those who seek to discredit all activism.

@MofotheMook I'm sure some of them are completely satisfied, I quote neil faulkner "radicalism disconnected from the mass is, in the end, no radicalism at all, but mere self-indulgence". I was with the bloc when it did all these destructive things, there is no way some of those kids were agent provocateurs. they were anarchists, just not very clever ones.

also, various media outlets smeared UKuncut by not noting the difference between the groups. that's the media's fault, not the anarchist's.
