Alias: Bob Robinson
Deployment: 1983 or 1984[1] until 1988
Unit:
Targets:
Animal liberation and anti-authoritarian movements

Subsequent to his retirement from police service in 2007, Detective Inspector Bob Lambert became a moderately prolific author and speaker in his second career as a progressive academic. Much of his research builds on his work on de-radicalisation of potential jihadis, and cooperation with mosques to ban recruiters while working for the Met's Muslim Contact Unit. An avowed former officer with the Metropolitan Police Special Branch, as an academic Lambert never addressed his work as an undercover with and later commander of the Special Demonstration Squad.

His articles, papers and reports have been published by a number of outlets, including peer-reviewed academic journals, left-of-centre think-tanks, and liberal newspaper The Guardian. Notably, most of his writings were published prior to his public exposure in October 2011 as a police spy who abandoned his son. Since that time, his publication rate dwindled (none together with others), as did his public speaking. .

Presentations, panels and media appearances: a chronology

This comprehensive timeline of Robert Lambert's career as an academic was collated by Undercover Research Group over a number of years.

About his exposure and his past as an undercover

Bob Lambert was publicly outed as having been an undercover police officer on 15 October 2011. This sub-section collects together the few times he has directly addressed this issue.

  • 20 October 2011: In a ‘Comment is Free’ piece for The Guardian‘s website, Lambert acknowledges that he has been accused of having an “alleged...undercover policing role for special branch”, but says he “cannot” respond to the claims. All he will say is that he “did not recruit one Muslim Londoner as an informant nor did I spy on them”.[90][246]
  • 23 October 2011: The Guardian publishes a story based on a statement released by Lambert, in which he admits he had infiltrated London Greenpeace, pretending to be animal rights activist ‘Bob Robinson’, and entered into a long-term relationship with a woman (not named, but clearly Belinda Harvey). He also states that he “unreservedly apologised” to those he had deceived.[247]
The same day he responds to Spinwatch's open letter of 20 October, which had called on him to provide “clarification of the allegations that have recently been published...London Greenpeace and the Guardian”.[248] He reiterates the apology he made in his statement to The Guardian, but claims that “the vast majority of Met special branch undercover officers never made the mistakes I made [and] have no need to apologise for anything,” without mentioning that the same tradecraft and behaviour associated with his deployment have been identified with several of the officers whom he directly supervised in subsequent years.[249]
  • February 2012: Several months later, Lambert published a brief statement entitled ‘Rebuilding Trust and Credibility: A preliminary commentary reflecting my personal perspective’ on his Centre for the Study of Terrorism and Political Violence profile at the St. Andrews University website. In it he summarises the generalised admissions he has already made, reiterates the general apology he has already given, and indicates that until the litigation and official inquiries have been completed he will not say much more on the subject of any note.[250]
  • 15 June 2012: Having the night before seen a photograph of ‘Bob Robinson’ from the 1980s in a newspaper article about the allegations surrounding Lambert's involvement in the Debenham's incendiary device plot,[251] former partner Jacqui telephones St. Andrews University, tells the person answering the call that she is the mother of Bob Lambert's child, and asks to speak to him. Ten minutes later Lambert calls her. During their conversation he “kept saying sorry, over and over again.”[252][253]
  • April 2014: Three key articles are published by Critical Studies on Terrorism: first an overview of the issues involved with undercover police deployments, by American academic Michael Loadenthal, himself from an anarchist activist background;[254] the second by long-time academic colleague of Lambert, Basia Spalek, co-written with Mary O'Rawe;[255]; and the third, a response by Lambert himself to the Spalek/O'Rawe essay.[42][256]
  • July 2014: It was several months more before Lambert made his first broadcast appearance directly acknowledging his unmasking as a former undercover officer with SDS, in an interview with Andy Davies for Channel 4 News. An edited version of the interview featured on the programme on 2 July,[236] with an extended package being posted to the website a few days later on 5 July.[237]
  • March 2016: During hearings at the Undercover Policing Inquiry over 22-23 March 2016, solicitors for Lambert submitted an application to Sir Christopher Pitchford for a Restriction Order to be put in place to prevent the disclosure of Lambert's past and present personal or professional addresses (which would include the location of the 1998 meeting between himself, Richard Walton and N81, and of any Special Demonstration Squad or Muslim Contact Unit offices, or indeed any of his university offices) or details of his immediate family.[257]
Lambert himself wrote a supporting statement in which he claimed that since his exposure in October 2011 he has been “subject of an ongoing campaign by activists to prevent [him] working as an academic” which “demonstrated the visceral hatred that a small but committed group of activists have” towards him.[258] Whilst the application by his solicitors claims that “there is an objectively well-founded basis for concluding there is a real and immediate risk to N10 [Lambert] and his family of physical harm,” Lambert himself admits that the sum total of any direct contact with such activists has been his being photographed in a university cafe,[259] and twice being “confronted by hostile activists while travelling to work.” He further admits that he has not been the subject to any visits at home, and does not make any claim that any member of his family has been in any way approached or harassed. It is of particular note that the core of his solicitors' claims of “real and immediate risk” to Lambert and his family is based on “The long history of some of the infiltrated groups including ALF and London Greenpeace of conducting campaigns of violence and intimidation [including] violence towards alleged infiltrators.”[260] (No evidence for these claims has been offered, though a separate ‘risk assessment’ document was concealed from the public.) This, of course, belies the fact that Lambert was exposed in October 2011 and not once has he or his family been attacked; that he did not apply for any injunction or restriction order prohibiting publication of personal or professional details until March 2016 (i.e. four years and five months after being exposed); and that it contradicts what he said in his original ‘apology’ of 23 October 2011, in which he characterised London Greenpeace as “a peaceful campaigning group” and its members “law-abiding”.[249]
  • 20 Ocotober 2016: Judge Pitchford announces he is willing to grant a restriction order to protect Lambert's personal addresses past and present, names of his immediate family, and his current professional address. Since his past academic posts are already in the public domain, and his work relates to undercover policing, it makes no sense to include them, Pitchford says:[261]
Mr Lambert also seeks to restrict reporting in connection with the Inquiry proceedings that may reveal any past professional address of his. However, the fact and locations of Mr Lambert’s three past academic posts (from which he subsequently resigned) and his association with them are already in the public domain and, in this respect, there appears no legitimate interest for Mr Lambert to protect. Furthermore, and for present purposes more critical, Mr Lambert’s experience when employed in these posts may well be relevant to the applications of other former police officers. I am minded to make an order that no report of or in connection the Inquiry proceedings may reveal:
“a. the past or present personal address, or the current professional address, of the applicant.”

Citations and other references in (mostly) academic publications

This section collates citations of Lambert and his work (either as a police officer or an academic). Authors' names are in bold to facilitate easier reading; no implication beyond citing Lambert (favourably or otherwise) is intended. This has the potential to be a very extensive list, so if you believe we have omitted anything, please do get in touch - PGP is available on request.

  • In 2005 a report entitled Muslims In The UK: Policies for Engaged Citizens was published by the EU Monitoring and Advocacy Program of the Open Society Institute, co-authored by Tufyal Choudhury, Maleiha Mali, J Mark Halstead, Zamila Bunglawala and Basia Spalek, based on research undertaken the previous year. Among those thanked for their contributions and consultations were both Detective Inspector Robert Lambert and the “Muslim Unit Scotland Yard” (i.e. the Muslim Contact Unit).[262]
  • Another early public mention for Lambert comes in 2006, when he was thanked in the introduction of Bringing it Home: Community-based approaches to counter-terrorism, a report by Rachel Briggs, Catherine Fieschi and Hannah Lownsbrough for the DEMOS think tank. He is named as a member of the researchers' steering group, which also included Lambert's academic protegé Abdul Haqq Baker, academic Stuart Croft, senior police officer Phil Gormley (subsequently revealed as someone with oversight of both the Special Demonstration Squad and the National Public Order Intelligence Unit whilst Head of Special Branch and secretary to ACPO-TAM), and subsequent Labour London Mayor Sadiq Khan.[263]
  • In their 2008 report published and funded by the University of Birmingham, Religion & Society and Arts & Humanities Research Council, Police-Muslim Engagement and Partnerships for the Purposes of Counter-Terrorism: An Examination, Dr Basia Spalek, Dr Salwa El Awa and Dr Laura Zahra McDonald thanked Lambert “for his significant help and support in his role as consultant and facilitator”. The “generosity shown by members of the Muslim Safety Forum and Muslim Contact Unit” was also acknowledged.[264][265] Lambert was also listed as a formal research partner of the core University of Birmingham team in a project summary supplied to funding body Religion & Society.[266]
  • Thanked by Jonathan Githens-Mazer (“The author wishes to acknowledge with thanks the assistance of Robert Lambert MBE...in conducting the research contained here”) in his article ‘The blowback of repression and the dynamics of North African radicalization’, published in International Affairs Volume 85 Issue 5, September 2009.[267]
  • Abdul Haqq Baker, who as a leading activist within STREET worked closely with the Muslim Contact Unit, personally thanked Lambert (and Basia Spalek) in the introduction to his doctoral thesis, Countering Terrorism in the UK: A Convert Community Perspective (submitted November 2009). Baker also cites Lambert's own work extensively, including from a draft version of his own thesis, and from an unpublished NATO Advanced Research Workshop paper.[268]
  • In 2010, the Muslim Contact Unit (as well as Lambert himself) is cited as an important case example of a partnering initiative in the context of deradicalisation efforts by University of Bristol academics Dan Nilsson DeHanas (since moved to King's College London) and Therese O'Toole. They describe MCU as “innovative for not using an eligibility criterion”.[269][270]
  • Also in 2010, American academic Michael Kenney[271] thanked Lambert (amongst others) for “constructive comments on earlier drafts” of his article ‘“Dumb” Yet Deadly: Local Knowledge and Poor Tradecraft Among Islamist Militants in Britain and Spain’ in Studies in Conflict & Terrorism.[272]
  • In July 2010 Lambert was thanked by editor Murtaza Shibli (a media officer at the Muslim Council of Britain) in the introduction of his book, 7/7: Muslim Perspectives.[152] The book's launch, at the House of Lords on the fifth anniversary of the London terrorist attacks on 7 July, was co-sponsored by the European Muslim Research Centre, and Lambert and Jonathan Githens-Mazer provided a supportive message: “This is an excellent book that challenges Islamophobic accounts of Muslims that have grown alarmingly since 7/7.”[153] Lambert also supplied a further endorsement, which was used in publicity materials, stating that “7/7: Muslim Perspectives is an important contribution that should be read by everyone who was affected by 7/7. While the collection highlights the heterogeneous nature of Muslims in Britain it does nevertheless highlight the extent to which popularist accounts of the significance of the bombers’ Muslim identities has had the adverse consequence of stigmatising all Muslims as terrorists and extremists.”[154]
  • Lorenzo Vidino, an academic specialising in the study of Islamism and political violence,[273] first interviewed Lambert in December 2008 for an article in the Washington Quarterly.[274] He again interviewed Lambert and further cited his Muslim Contact Unit work three more times in 2010: in an article on the Foreign Policy magazine website entitled ‘Toward a Radical Solution’,[275] in a journal article in CTC Sentinel, ‘The Role of Non-Violent Islamists in Europe’,[276] and in a special report for the United States Institute of Peace, Countering Radicalization in America: Lessons from Europe.[277] It is of note that in suggesting “10 lessons that the United States should keep in mind” to prevent Islamic extremism, Vidino advocates “consult[ation] with academics, civil liberties organizations — anybody with expertise. Inform the public. Get feedback from the Muslim community (and not just its most vocal self-appointed leaders)”, and specifically notes that “Britain and the Netherlands have been the most active, but the Danes are following suit. Germany, Norway, and Sweden have long-established and quite successful disengagement programs for neo-Nazis and are trying to apply the same tactics to jihadists”.[275] Elsewhere Lambert has criticised Vidino's own analysis of radicalisation, accusing him of “repeat[ing] the ‘Londonistan’ analyses made repeatedly by Gilles Kepel, Melanie Phillips, Michael Gove, Douglas Murray and the seemingly endless corps of Rand, Middle East Forum, Policy Exchange and allied academics, researchers and commentators”.[62]
  • A 2013 report by Teesside University academics Nigel Copsey, Janet Dack, Mark Littler & Matthew Feldman of the Centre for Fascist, Anti-Fascist and Post-Fascist Studies briefly refers to the work of Lambert and Githens-Mazer at Exeter's European Muslim Research Centre with citations for both their Islamophobia and Anti-Muslim Hate Crime: A London Case Study[4] and Islamophobia and Anti-Muslim Hate Crime: UK Case Studies[7][278]
  • In his 2013 article ‘The trouble with radicalization’ for International Affairs, Peter R. Neumann (founder of the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation at King's College London)[279] critically references Lambert's Muslim Contact Unit and academic work. He notes that “the notion that non-violent extremists are more effective than others at reaching people who are at risk of being recruited into terrorism is based almost entirely on the experience of Bob Lambert, whose Muslim Contact Unit at the London Metropolitan Police empowered non-violent Salafists and the Muslim Brotherhood against Al-Qaeda. Lambert’s counterterrorist successes are beyond doubt, but he offers no control group, and it is impossible, therefore, to know what might have happened had other, similarly ‘edgy’ but less politically controversial groups been given the same job.”[280]
  • A less critical view of Lambert's MCU work is offered by Dr Alex P. Schmid in his 2014 research paper Violent and Non-Violent Extremism: Two Sides of the Same Coin?, in which he states that “the team set up by Robert Lambert played a crucial role in taking back the Finsbury Park mosque from the violent extremists associated with [al Qaeda] in a raid involving some 200 police officers. In the ‘liberated’ mosque, military-style equipment, guns, hunting knives, gas masks and chemical and biological warfare protection suits were found. The mosque was subsequently handed over to the [Muslim Brotherhood], whose UK members publicly opposed the use of violence in the UK. Lambert also teamed up with Brixton Salafis whom he considered to be the most effective group to fight the violent extremists of ‘Londonistan’.”[281]Schmid omits to mention that from 2006[282] until 2011[283] he had been the director of the Centre for the Study of Terrorism and Political Violence (CSTPV) at St. Andrews University, where Lambert himself had lectured since September 2008.[115]
  • In January 2015 Lambert's work in Brixton and Finsbury Park with the Muslim Contact Unit is cited as an example of a “youth centric community based approach” to countering violent extremism, in contrast to the Prevent model, in an article by American academic Samuel Tyler Powers. The article is published in the Centre for the Study of Terrorism and Political Violence of St. Andrews University, but no mention is made of Lambert's connection to the CSTPV.[284]
  • In a follow-up report[285] to that of Teesside University's Centre for Fascist, Anti-Fascist and Post-Fascist Studies two years previously, in 2015 Mark Littler and Matthew Feldman again briefly cite Lambert's and Githens-Mazer's Islamophobia and Anti-Muslim Hate Crime: UK Case Studies.[7]

Notes

  1. ↑ The Evans/Lewis book states that Lambert first met ‘Charlotte’, AKA Jacqui, in 1983, “the first year of his deployment”. This is slightly contradicted by the account in The New Yorker piece, which is based upon interviews with Jacqui, in which it is said the two met “in early 1984”. In his 2013 interview with Andy Davies for Channel 4 News, Lambert himself implies that it could not have been 1983, with the words “I must say, in 1984 when I adopted that identity [Bob Robinson]…” In a 2014 article for an academic journal, Lambert himself strongly implies that his undercover tour began in June 1984 and ended in December 1988 (see Robert Lambert, ‘Researching counterterrorism: a personal perspective from a former undercover police officer’.

Typically Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) officers overseas are assigned such status as cover. Note also that such an Embassy posting places him within the Foreign & Commonwealth Office, not the Home Office.

  246. ↑ Aside from the point that Lambert is quite simply not someone who can be been unequivocably to be a witness of truth, we draw attention to the very specific way that this ‘denial’ is worded. Lambert says that he did not ‘recruit’ ‘one’ ‘Muslim’ ‘Londoner’ ‘as an informant’. This would, of course, preclude any activity he chooses not to characterise as ‘recruitment’; recruitment (or even ‘non-recruitment’) of more than one person; recruitment/‘non-recruitment’ of non-Londoners (Muslim or otherwise); recruitment of person or persons for the purposes of something characterised as anything other than ‘informing’; and so on. The last part of his claim - nor ‘spy on’ ‘them’ - is similarly opaque, in that it would not, for example, preclude the recruitment of a person or persons (Muslim, Londoner, informant or otherwise), so long as Lambert did not spy on this person or these persons.

  256. ↑ Lambert reiterates that he will not respond to specific allegations, noting: “I will not write my own full account in response to [the Evans/Lewis book] Undercover and [related television documentary programme] Dispatches [episode entitled ‘The Secret Policeman’] until I have first discharged my legal obligations to the investigations and court proceedings. This, I should add, is my position on 30 August 2013 as I submit a final draft of this article to the editor of Critical Studies on Terrorism for publication. I highlight the date because although my position will not change, I am conscious that by the time Spalek and O’Rawe’s article, and this article in response, are published significant new developments may well have taken place and a chronology is therefore helpful.”
