LEADING campaigner Tariq Ali has criticised a public inquiry into undercover policing as a “monumental waste of time” which is seeking to “blame the victims.”
Mr Ali was spied on by at least 14 undercover police officers working with the Metropolitan Police’s special demonstration squad (SDS).
He became a target due to his involvement with the Vietnam Solidarity Campaign (VSC).
