Overview
Undercover police officer going by ‘Lynn Watson’, taking part in anti-war protests in Yorkshire in 2004 against the US/UK invasion of Iraq, dressed as a rebel clown. This officer operated undercover in the UK peace, social justice & environmental movements from 2003-2008.. She is seen with the non-violent Clandestine Insurgent Rebel Clown Army – aka CIRCA – shaking her backside outside a government MP’s office, playing cricket with a feather duster outside a military recruitment office in Leeds and doing the hokey cokey to a police line at the US military’s Menwith Hill spy base. ‘Lynn’ was deployed by the UK National Public Order Intelligence Unit.
