All the uk trot groups are a hotbed of spycops, the only thing they do is try to wreck every single thing. Keeping them out will be a positive. Won't keep the wreckers out entirely but it'll reduce their numbers to a level that's less likely to get anything done.

It's also a slur for black people in the US

I don't think the etymology really supports much of a link between the use as a racial slur and the use to refer to undercover agents.
