Security services 'gave data to clandestine organisation funded by major names in building industry'
The police or security services supplied information to a blacklist funded by the country's major construction firms that has kept thousands of people out of work over the past three decades.
The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) has revealed that records that could only have come from the police or MI5 have been discovered in a vast database of files held on 3,200 victims who were deemed leftwing or troublesome.

The files were collected by the Consulting Association, a clandestine organisation funded by major names in the construction industry.
Police are linked to blacklist of construction workers

The opening paragraph of the Guardian article claims that the blacklist of construction industry trouble-makers has “kept thousands of people out of work over the past three decades”. Not true.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing to stop anyone who seriously wants to work in the construction industry setting up on their own. I did it myself. There are hundreds of thousands of self employed plumbers, carpenters, small builders, etc.
But actually supplying the customer with what the customer wants is too much like hard work for your average leftie trouble maker. Worming one’s way into an existing construction firm and messing it up, while claiming to be a victim of the capitalist system is far more fun and emotionally rewarding.
It's so sad to hear that many of our police officers are involved in many indecent if not illegal activities. They do not tarnish their reputation but the whole police force as well.
