Undercover Cop Exposed
I made The Guardian last week.
I have to say when I was putting up posters in New York for the World Economic Forum protest in 2002 a) I didn’t imagine the man helping me was an undercover cop and b) the pic of us doing this would be in a national newspaper 24 years later!
Over the last few weeks I have given evidence to the Undercover Police Inquiry about my experience of being spied on by ‘Simon Wellings’ between 2001-4, over last summer I was sent 100s of documents from the Met Police that he wrote about me, not just about my political activity, but my personal life, phone records, details for flights abroad and lots and lots of lies including things like a supposed ‘enthusiastic’ Meth, Cocaine, Speed and Ecstasy habit! This piece in the Guardian explains how we found him out at the time, due to an error he made, and reads like the story of a film.
