Reel News Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEGngBmHKaA - please circulate / share this video far and wide
The next date in the High Court is Thurs 7th April - expect lots of movement behind the scenes between now and then. The Skanska occupation was the BSG input into the discussions.
2. Blacklist firm thrown off another public contracts - more councils should follow this excellent example.
Is a blacklist firm delivering public services for your council, university or hospital trust?
3. Undercover police spying on activists
Helen Steel - flies to Australia to expose the undercover cop that abused her 25 years ago - absolutely heroic and BSG are very proud to count Helen as one of us.

4. Pitchford public inquiry into undercover policing
The police have put in submissions to the Pitchford inquiry arguing that they can 'Neither Confirm Nor Deny' whether any of the exposed spycops were in fact police officers - even when they have been outed in the press and the Met have paid compensation to their victims!! The police submissions also argue that large parts of the public inquiry should be heard in secret. Hardly a 'public' inquiry! BSG and the other core participants are arguing that all of the hearings should be in public and that the Police should be forced to disclose all of the police files and release the cover names of everyone of the undercover police spies that targeted unions, justice campaigns, and democratic peaceful political groups.
