Really interesting article detailing the outrageous behaviour by under cover police officers using sexual relationships with women as cover

Chilling and forensic details of Kate’s life are recorded by the hand of her paid lover, including an expense claim from Mark noting for £80 of public funds to purchase Kate a bicycle, in order to: “Provide facility for quality time to reinforce bond/relationship.”

*[One of the women said] “The police have acted like criminal gangs in secret, and this is the systematic using of women as tools, as we were all used as props to reinforce the spycops identities"

it feels so sinister. and such fucking macho behaviour

apparently the police officers and their managers had no issue with betraying wives and children and infringing the human rights of the affected women

Sinister as all hell. I’m so sorry for the women the state has abused in this way.

it is state sanctioned abuse of women

i think that's what I have found so shocking. it's truly institutionalised sexism

It’s outrageous that it isn’t a much bigger scandal.

Most people engaged in activism know that the state will be taking an interest, but sexual abuse of young women by the state is something else.

I’ve read some of this before, but hipsterfun, I can’t believe it’s not a huge scandal.

For all democracies, the question of whether undermining civil society and our trust in public institutions is worth whatever (dubious) gains in public safety, should be asked. Loudly. And often.
