The continuing success of the IWCA will obviously get the attention of F Branch MI5. That's what they're there for after all. Monitoring, infiltration, placing provocateurs who then provoke violence will be the order of the day here and you can bet your bottom dollar that the IWCA will be approached by the Searchlight organisation for "joint work". A favourite ruse is that they ask for a group's membership and contacts lists so they can check them against their extensive records for "fascist infiltration" (I believe that they did this with the ANL in the early 90's). Not that the street-wise I.W.C.A. would be dumb enough to play ball with them and being such fine, principled Left-wing anti-fascists that obviously Searchlight are, I would never suggest that the information would be passed onto a third party !
