@tombfowler

@tombfowler Today we are hearing from a non-State core participant/ witness. She has been granted anonymity, so is known as 'Madeleine' – she will not be shown on screen but you can hear her voice.

@tombfowler

@tombfowler ‘Madeleine’ is the pseudonym of a woman who was deceived into an intimate relationship by an undercover officer, ‘Vince Miller’ in 1979, while she was an activist with the Socialist Workers Party.

She has not been provided with his real name.

@metpoliceuk

His memory loss was less extensive than the other former #spycops we've heard from. But memory loss can be a selective thing.
He clammed up when asked about the events in Southall on 23 April '79 & claimed not to remember anyone in the @metpoliceuk discussing Blair Peach's death.

@metpoliceuk

@metpoliceuk ...even though we know that #spycops attended Blair's funeral, and spied on the subsequent campaigning for justice ever since. Coates said he couldn't remember any discussion of all that within the SDS.

#spycopsinquiry

@metpoliceuk

@metpoliceuk Although he was able to share some clear memories of the offensively sexist jokes & banter he heard in the #spycops safe-house....

Watch at

First we heard about a statement that has been provided by the second wife of 'HN300'

#spycops

The family are concerned that publicity from the Inquiry will interfere with their right to private life so have asked for his real name to be restricted.
