Secret Society _suppressed BBC Series_ Duncan Campbell 1987
==================================================

This is Duncan Campbell's shocking BBC video documentary series Secret Society (1987)

The Secret Society series caused a political furore in 1987. Alasdair Milne was sacked as director-general of the BBC,
prompting accusations that the governors were acting under pressure from the government.
The production team behind the series was threatened with prosecution under the Official Secrets Act.
Mr Campbell's front door was kicked down and his home searched.
In 1987, Strathclyde Police raided the corporation's Scottish headquarters in Glasgow
and seized the tapes from the offices of BBC Scotland where the series had been made.
Mr Campbell's home was also raided,
The tapes were later returned and the series broadcast on the BBC exept for episode one.
The BBC decided that the episode (one) about secret cabinet committees was too sensitive to show before the 1987 general election.
The Thatcher government leaned on the BBC to prevent its damaging allegations being made public.


- The series consists of the following 6 programmes:


1. The Secret Constitution: Secret Cabinet Committees;
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We're taught that Britain is a parliamentary democracy. But who really rules? Answer: small, secret Cabinet committees.

2. In Time Of Crisis: Government Emergency Powers;
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since 1982, governments in every other NATO country have been preparing for the eventuality of war.
In Britain, these preparations are kept secret. So what will happen when the balloon goes up?

3. A Gap In Our Defences;
-----------------------------------------
Bungling defence manufacturers and incompetent military planners have botched every new radar system that
Britain has installed since World War Two.
Why? And can we stop it happening again?

4. We're All Data Now: Secret Data Banks;
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Data Protection Act is supposed to protect us from abuse, but it's already out of date and full of loopholes.
So what kind of abuses should we worry about?

5. The Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO);
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
ACPO Making up their own law and policy
About the Association of Chief Police Officers and how Government policy and actions
are determined in the fields of law and order.

6. Communications_Zircon;
-----------------------------------------
About GCHQ with particular reference to a secret 500 million satellite.
Reference to Zircon spy satellites which the public accounts committee were not told about.


His support for this series was one of the key reasons BBC Director General, Alasdair Milne
(who was replaced by Michael Checkland, an accountant) was sacked.
This Journalistic Coup d'Etat was conducted by:
Lord Victor Rothschild, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and Marmaduke Hussey in 1986.
The BBC's independence has been under sustained assault ever since.

A must see for everyone !!



-------------------------------------------------------
- This is episode five of the series:
-------------------------------------------------------


5. The Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO)_Making Up Their Own Law and Policy

In this part of the series Campbell investigates ACPO
and if they are prepared to answer to the people for what they do.
A special commission arranged by ACPO to develop "police local intelligence" system,
secure the services of at least one informant in every street.
60% Of the "intelligence files" are about people with no criminal conviction.
ACPO claimes the right of silence and plead guilty of being accountable to no one but them selves,
as well on being unnecessarily secretive.

* Quality is not perfect, but still alright


** I have uploaded this before,
but it was deleted cause of rtf files,
so now it's without those files.

*** In case you've been downloading this before, but it stopped cause of the deleting;
I renamed the folder; just name the old folder to the new name of folder:
Secret Society (5 of 6) The Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) (1987)[avi]
I didn't rename the avi file, so if i'm right it will continue from where it was.
(you might let torrent client save it to the folder, but i don't think so [i'm not sure] )
