Episode 47: Reclaim The Streets statement
from Spycops Info Hosted by Undercover Policing Podcast
Some people who used to be involved in Reclaim The Streets (RTS) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reclaim_the_Streets, some of whom had not seen each other since two decades, discuss their input into the Undercover Policing Inquiry ahead of the questioning of the undercover officer Jim Boyling. https://campaignopposingpolicesurveillance.com/tag/jim-boyling/ Reclaim the streets merged party and protest in the 90s, transforming car filled urban spaces into joyful creative visions of a world beyond capitalism and free from one of its driving toxic forces, the motorcar. RTS was heavily infiltrated and it now turns out the spycops were co-organising and manipulating these mass actions so that public disorder would occur and the press would demonise the group, who by 2000 had become public enemy number one in the tabloids. They discuss some of the shocking things that have emerged and key questions they want asked.
