Reports on Jim Sutton an undercover cop who infiltrated Reclaim the 
Streets during the 1990's and had kids with an activist.

Some comments on the Guardian website have suggested that this was 
all ok because she knew he was a policeman by then. The reports 
underplay the fact she had already fallen in love with him and moved 
in with him long before this. Its not exactly rare for people who are 
in love to fall for their lover's promises that they will change, and 
she was up against a professionally trained liar and manipulator, so 
the odds were stacked against her.

composed of ex -Special Branch, (political police.)

Kennedys role, has received intense media coverage in the UK, 
following the collapse of a court case against activists on Monday 
10th January. This has led to highest ranking policeman Sir Hugh Orde 
defending infiltration of left wing groups on the Newsnight 
television programme.

Mark Kennedy spoke about his infiltration to extreme right-wing 
newspaper The Mail on Sunday, He claimed to have operational 
influence over German and Danish police.

Both "Marco Jacobs" and "Mark Stone" attended the Dissent! Europe 
gathering prior to Strasbourg, France anti NATO in 2009. They arrived 
together, very little real UK based activist involvement. (same time 
as G20 London)
"LYNN WATSON" Real name unknown

In late 2003 Lynn Watson attended event at Aldermaston nuclear 
weapons factory and then joined a Trident Ploughshares affinity 
group. NVDA anti nuclear weapons group.

She took part in non-violence training (one of the trainers didn't 
get there as he was picked up on a warrant as he came off the ferry!) 
and attended a TP planning meeting.

During 2004 she also went to Aldermaston Womens Peace Camp and was 
very active in the Block the Builders campaign. (Direct action) She 
said she lived in Bournemouth and did care work.

In 2005 she moved to Leeds, Yorkshire. Active in environmental 
activist groups centred around anarchist social centre, The Common Place.

Was member of UK Action medics collective, who provide first aid to 
the direct action community. Lynn was involved with UK action medics 
at Dissent G8 in Gleneagles 2005, and later that year at Earth First! 
gathering in Derbyshire. Later, she hosted an Action medics meeting 
at her house in Leeds.

She was also the UK contact when medics went to G8 in Russia, so the 
address they were staying at may have been passed on. (to Russian 
secret state?)

( "Marco Jacobs" filled similar role for CAN!)

Was member of the Rebel Clown Army. (unclear if this made them any 
less effective)

Had sexual relationships with some activists. Was "camera shy".

Is not known to have operated outside of the UK. (one unconfirmed 
sighting with "Mark Stone" in Berlin May 2006)

"Watson" "Stone" and "Jacobs" seem to have disappeared from left 
political circles in the UK.
"MARCO JACOBS" also known as "Mark Jacobs" Real name unknown

Infiltrated the Dissent! network of resistance against the G8 in 
Brighton, in 2004. Following suspicions that he was a policeman 
there, he moved to Cardiff, Wales where he successfully infiltrated 
Cardiff Anarchist Network (CAN).

He encouraged ideological and personal splits within CAN.

He had at least one sexual relationship within activist circles.

Using his connections he then became involved in the Rising Tide 
Network. He was at the centre of a set of police raids and arrests 
that targeted climate justice activists, including one on his own flat.

He was involved in the No Border campaigns for freedom of movement. 
He was minute taker at UK wide gatherings. He had prior knowledge of 
No Borders successful blockades to prevent immigration snatch squad 
dawn raids on families,

He attended (with "Mark Stone") a meeting in Poland prior to the G8 
in Heligendam, It is believed that only one genuine UK based activist 
was at this event!

He travelled with UK activists to Germany to oppose the G8 in 
Heligendam, Germany 2007 and was actively involved in autonomous 
block planning at the Redelich camp.

In 2009 he attended planning meetings in Dijon for the Anti NATO 
resistance to take place in Strasbourg. He arrived with "Stone" . Set 
up website promoting this action.

He suddenly pulled out of attending the resistance to the G8 in St 
Petersburg Russia. Remained in contact with CAN activists in Russia.

Towards the end of his career in Cardiff, friends became suspicious 
of him and he was increasingly being left out of sensitive 
discussions. Ironically this included the location of the 2008 Camp 
for Climate Action, the location of which was known by a small group 
including "Watson" and "Stone".
