Exposed: UK Govt Has A 'Thought Police' Unit To Control Mass Migration Narrative - ZH
A secretive Home Office propaganda outfit founded by a former MI6 officer is actively working to control narratives around incidents involving migrants and rising tensions, a bombshell report reveals.
The Research, Information and Communications Unit, or RICU, has been exposed advising police on how to portray protesters and intervening in the aftermath of brutal attacks by migrants to prevent statements that might inflame public anger over mass immigration failures.
This comes as fresh confirmation of suspicions raised after the attack on vulnerable special needs man Stephen Ogilvie in Belfast. Sources now confirm the unit's role in managing family liaison and messaging in such cases. The pattern fits a broader shift where government "nudge" operations once focused on enforcing COVID compliance have pivoted to shielding open borders policies from scrutiny - and are now being hardened into formal crisis powers.
The Daily Mail reports that RICU was set up in 2007 by the late Charles Farr, a former MI6 officer, under the Prevent counter-terrorism banner. It operates from Home Office headquarters and draws on tactics from the old Information Research Department, the post-war propaganda unit used to counter communist influence.
Its methods include planting media stories, deploying undercover operatives, and shaping online conversations in targeted communities.

Former MI6 operatives caught briefing police to brand concerned citizens as “unsympathetic thugs”...
Forwarded from 🇵🇸 Automated Apartheid in Palestine
🇵🇸The UK Court of Appeal has ruled that the government’s decision to ban the activist group Palestine Action as a “terrorist organisation” is lawful.
The ruling overturned a previous High Court decision that had found the ban under the Terrorism Act 2000 to be unlawful and disproportionate.
The case follows legal challenges to the government’s proscription of the group, and the issue remains part of ongoing political and public debate in the UK.
