Rob W 0 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-12148753 Trial collapses after undercover officer changes sides The trial of six green campaigners has collapsed after an undercover policeman who had infiltrated their group offered to give evidence on their behalf. The six were charged with conspiring to shut down the Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station in Nottingham in 2009. The case was due to start on Monday, but was abandoned after Pc Mark Kennedy contacted the defence team to say he would be prepared to help them. The prosecution subsequently dropped their case. Mr Kennedy had been intimately involved in the green movement since 2000. He was known to those within it as Mark "Flash" Stone, having earned the nickname because he always seemed to have more money than the other activists. He lived a double life: as Mark Kennedy of the Metropolitan Police he had a wife and children; but as Mark Stone, green activist, he lived with an unsuspecting girlfriend on a narrow boat in Nottingham. He would disappear for extended periods, telling his girlfriend he had to visit his "brother" in the United States. In October 2010, Mr Kennedy was confronted by some of the activists after they found documents which revealed his true identity. He admitted he had been a Met Police officer and had infiltrated their organisations, before then disappearing. Danny Chivers, who was one of the six defendants in the failed case, said Mr Kennedy was not just an observer, but an agent provocateur. "We're not talking about someone sitting at the back of the meeting taking notes - he was in the thick of it." Speaking about the Ratcliffe-on-Soar protest, Mr Chivers said: "Mark Stone was involved in organising this for months - they could have stopped it at the start." Instead, Mr Chivers said the police officer helped recruit as many people as possible. The Met Police are refusing to comment officially on Mr Kennedy.
