How secret state in UK has long policed politics:

MI5, working with #spycops, policing MPs, campaigners and anyone seeking social change, as set out in lengthy opening statement by Rajiv Menon, for some core participants in undercover policing inquiry.

“Undercover policing was severely tainted – corrupted – by political motivations and political bias,” says Matthew Ryder, representing many other core participants in #spycopys inquiry, in opening statement.

A common target for #spycops was anyone who campaigned against racism.
One #spycop, Mike Ferguson, targeted Peter Hain because he was campaigning against apartheid in South Africa.

He is said by other #spycops to have become Hain’s “right hand man”.

But Lord Hain cannot confirm this because inquiry REFUSES to tell him #spycop’s COVER NAME.
