London Metropolitan Police admits role in blacklisting construction workers
Apparently this was on the BBC front page this morning, but somehow I blinked and missed it.I don't have any trade union axe to grind, but I'm pretty shocked both by the security services behaviour, and by the lack of coverage this is getting.Whatever your opinion on trade unions, it's a pretty fundamental threat to democracy when the security services monitor legal behaviour and can destroy someone's livelihood for behaviour they disapprove of.And .. why isn't this on the BBC News front page all day?  I get most of my news there, and now I worry how many other democracy-shaking stories I might have missed.
