Episode 22: Informers, Infiltrators & Grasses Part 4: Tilly Gifford

In this mini series we are looking beyond undercover police to examine the civilian covert human intelligence sources that are used by police to target protest groups and undermine dissent. This instalment is an interview by Chris Brien with activist Tilly Gifford, who along with being targeted by undercover police was approached by Strathclyde police in 2009 to become a grass against the group she was involved with Plane Stupid. She made recordings of what happened and spoke out about it in the press. https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2009/apr/24/strathclyde-police-plane-stupid-recruit-spy
