I don’t agree with much that Mahmood does or says and certainly not this ambiguous pseudo liberal twaddle. When democracy promotes and tolerates intolerance it promotes its own destruction. Thats the subversive essence of the #Spycops
Has anyone sent this email to #spycops #Blacklist or @UCPI John Mitting, or David Barr or the core participant who said it in the first place?

#Spycops #Blacklist There is nothing like open government and @ucpinquiry is just that.
Your periodic public service announcement that some documents have been published on the #spycops inquiry website (because, like, it's too much, y'know, HASSLE for @ucpinquiry to do it): TS for HN60 ‘Dave Evans’; witness statements/exhibits from @davenellist & @StaffordScott_.

Remind me and "Christine Green" what is "Overseas" about Scotland? #Spycops

When there's no meaningful material consequence for #spycops who lie, withhold or obfuscate to @ucpinquiry, is it any wonder so many of them stick to their snide, contemptuous ‘don't recall’ nonsense? They're laughing at Mitting, and they're laughing at us.

Both HN60 ‘Dave Evans’ & HN1 ‘Matt Rayner’ were found to have had sexual relationships whilst undercover despite having claimed they hadn't. Mitting previously said #spycops would lose their anonymity if found to have lied to the Inquiry. That's not happened to David or Matthew.

#Spycops #Blacklist No platform drama given platform at National Theatre for one week only. Notting and Barr should take the @UCPI along.

Fantastically timely story for the #Spycops trial. @ucpinquiry must call Ron Bailey as a witness to the +ve benefits of the movm’t @metpoliceuk called « the e enemy ». How one man gets new laws passed - again and again bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ckg4…

#AITransparency There’s a lot of soul searching and negativism about AI, and how it is being used. In the interests of openess, and my own use of AI here’s a recent discussion between Chat and me. Feel free to share if you think it is interesting. chatgpt.com/share/6a8501b1-4…

Imagine if there was an #Spycops NVQ in investigating the undercover policing of political dissent. The competences would be found in its Terms of Reference what would LLM AI's end of term assessment of @ucpinquiry look like? Look no further. mike-hughes-blacklist-blog.n…

Boutcher has in effect made it impossible for the Mitting report to insert ambiguity in, or roll back Herne or Ellison conclusions, repeat MPS nonsense about befriendship being friendship, or there is any sort of unconsented sex that is not rape. #Spycops theguardian.com/uk-news/2026…

It's good to hear it is still on. When it does appear I'm sure it is going to put pressure on the Labour Party to open up its files to an independent inquiry (I hope by the same legal team) into its historic, and perhaps current, colluision with #Spycops and #Blacklisting.

PSNI was established in 2002 following the defunding/dissolution of the discredited RUC. But it struggled to retain public confidence and in 2023 the Chief resigned and was replaced by Boutcher. Defunding does seem more possible after yesterday at #Spycops.
Replying to @Donna__McLean
Today feels like a pitch for the Main Job in SW1A 2JL - proving himself the Billy Big-Bollocks, prepared to sweep away the deadwood of the past, get rid of the problematic relics, but protecting the HO/gov.uk and making the right sounds.

If anyone wants me over the next few weeks I’ll be a Green Gathering, Boomtown and Shambala in that order. Speaking about #spycops at all three. Starting Saturday at 7pm at Speaker’s Forum. Headline act!

# Spycops. The @homesecretaryuk, @10DowningStreet and @Mayoroflondon don't need to wait for the UCPI rep. to decide what to do about MPS now they have Jon Boutcher's verdict. As head of PSNI he's a shoo-in for the new PSL&C and a great advert for defunding.
Jon Boutcher's statement was a fullsome apology, but more. It was a authorative verdict on #Spycops poltical policing and an appeal to the HO to enable the @ucpinquiry to complete its task. Transcript: dropbox.com/scl/fi/apqv06b6f…
