Spycops Scandal: Helen Steel in conversation with Jenny Jones
21st June 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
WHAT: Online conversation between lifelong environmental and social justice activist Helen Steel and Green Party peer Jenny Jones – both of whom were targeted by Britain’s political secret police
WHERE: Online – Zoom
WHEN: Tuesday 21 June 2022, 7pm
PRICE: Free
Helen Steel has been a political activist all her adult life. She has campaigned on a range of environmental, community, workers and social justice issues. She is perhaps best known as being one of the McLibel Two who were sued by McDonald’s.
Helen was deceived into a long-term, cohabiting relationship by John Dines of the Metropolitan Police’s Special Demonstration Squad. It took years of her own research to establish the truth about who he was.
She is a Core Participant at the Undercover Policing Inquiry, and one of five similarly deceived women who have collaborated to tell their stories in the shocking new book Deep Deception.
Jenny Jones is a Green Party peer, and former member of the Greater London Assembly. When she was elected to the GLA, the spycops began targeting her.
The spying on Jenny continued for well over a decade. When she challenged it, they hurriedly shredded the evidence despite a strict order to preserve all files for the Undercover Policing Inquiry.
Like Helen, Jenny has been a consistent campaigner for the truth about the spycops scandal, demanding that the public is given the fact and the victims are given their files.
