Hi All,

If they were secret police, then they obviously weren't very secret.

Perhaps it was a term used to describe plain-clothes detectives.

Regards,

Simon

Hi Simon,

That's very true, especially when they said en masse.

Sincerely,
Mike

Hello Mike. Thanks.

To be fair, perhaps it was their perception only that there were secret police?

Cheers.

Hi Lynn,

True. I'm curious if a group of Socialists would have had any run ins with special branch?

"...regular police and secret police arrived en masse." This certainly confirms Spiro's book about special branch being involved. Back to reading.

I've started reading Lynn's article first and am enjoying the read. I'll have a few posts, so I'll start with this. How interesting that this Jewish community, or at least the editors at the Arbeter Fraint, believed the very first Ripper murder was Martha Tabram. Back to reading.

Sincerely,
Mike
