The police have literally just threatened and intimitaded the staff of a private company until an ad campaing they didn’t like was shelved, but sure, we don’t at all live in a police state 🙄

The advertising drive was launched to raise awareness of what the company described as the “ongoing undercover policing scandal where officers have infiltrated the lives, homes and beds of activists”.

The campaign was cancelled because they “fear for the safety of their staff”… let that sink in.

It’s a UK story btw

this is about the so nicknamed ‘SpyCops’ scandal, where police used take identities to get into long-term relationships with activists, then sold them out.

it’s pretty horrifying, and worth knowing about. The suppressed company? Lush.

Where are all the Europeans that callously say “America is so terrible! Our police aren’t like that!” On American police brutality posts? Come and read this because your shit stinks too
