A CAMPAIGNER subjected to years of police surveillance said that she was “sickened” by the “sexist, racist and homophobic” remarks made by spycops in their reporting.
Veteran activist Diane Langford was spied on by several undercover officers during her long history in political activism and had her own file reference in police reports.
She came under surveillance after joining the anti-Vietnam war movement in 1968 and continued to be spied on while campaigning for womens’ rights, against racism and in solidarity with the Palestinians.
