Kate Wilson won a legal battle against the Metropolitan Police after discovering her long-term boyfriend was an undercover officer
Believe it or not, Mark Kennedy is my brother in law.
He’s a bit full of himself, and it’s weird when this comes up in the news cycle.
He wrote a book about his experiences, but it wasn’t taken up with the publisher because he essentially didn’t express regret.
Happens a lot in Spain.
There has been a lot cases of police officers infiltrating left and social movements, male and female, and “failing in love” with people inside them. Just from the tip of my head, there is a case of female cop that was caught by her partner after 4 years of relationship and before getting married. Another one where a male cop infiltrated different associations and literally fucked his way up to the intel, tricking women and having them have (consent) sex with him. This one his awaiting trial because after finding out the girls sued him for sexual abuse, but i dont think i will go anywhere.
That’s truly awful, ACAB.
However, I do want to let any of our new glowies know I personally give prior consent to be honeypotted by cuties who buy me nice things.
might wanna look up what “glowie” means and how it started buddy. it’s not something you wanna be throwing around
Davis addressed concerns about his language on his website, stating that “when I fight Satan, I use the sharpest knives I can find.”
I’m not saying I approve of his slur usage, but hot damn is that a quote.
Wtf is this? The British version of Gestapo’s joy division? Fucking disgusting. Intelligence agencies shouldn’t exist outside war scenarios or valid EXTERNAL threats to democracy.
I get your point but there have been many cases of terrorism that was done by someone that already lived (usually legally) in a coutry. Like those assholes that steal a car or truck and just drive it into a busy street. Unfortunately intelligence agencies are a necessary evil.
This is one of my fears. I can’t imagine the betrayal and lack of ethics. I can’t imagine a person who would sell their souls to date someone they hate like this. Just thinking about it ugh! I’m in a community with a bunch of degenerates and sometimes I’ve dated guys who just seem to be lying through their teeth that they like me. I stopped frequenting their bars. Doesn’t help when the photographer at events is an undercover cop. I’m not the one in biker gangs but I stopped going because of all the fake suspicion. Still I’d need soooooo much therapy. I hope she got a huuuuge settlement.
If they slept together he raped her with government backing
Kennedy, who resigned from the Met in 2010, had sexual relationships with as many as 10 other women while undercover.
Maybe not as huge as it should be but
In 2021, the Investigatory Powers Tribunal (IPT) ordered the Met Police and NPCC to pay a total of £229,471 to Ms Wilson “by way of just satisfaction for the breaches of her human rights”
Not nearly enough.
“This is one of my fears”
I’m so sorry that this is actually a concern that someone legitimately feels. It’s unbelievable to me that anyone could date someone they don’t like, for whatever reason…
sends hug
This is awful, but I wonder what I technically illegal about it. It a misleading manipulative lie, but it’s not illegal to lie about personal topics, I don’t think.
It’s fucking rape.
If a woman has sex with me (hypothetically) because she saw me wearing expensive clothes, but later it turns out they were cheap imitations, that would be misleading, but not rape.
As horrible this is (as owl said) how do you figure out it is rape?
The legal battle was a civil suit, based more on the violations of Kate Wilson’s human rights, than on the legality of actions
That makes sense, I agree with that.
This makes me feel sick
It’s been years since I saw a burning cop car, I’m fucking irritated
One of my favorite memories is a comrade being interviewed during the LA Watt’s Rebellion. A TV reporter asked him why they were burning police cars. His reply, “Because it’s fun!”
I’m in a few local orgs and this is fucking nightmare fuel!
What in the Pyong Yang?
It was more a comment on analog regimes that inspire household level paranoia.
What I had really wanted to say was “What in the Enver Hoxha?” But I expected that reference to Europe’s most North Korean-style regime to miss.
If this sort of thing happened in Korea we’d be hearing of it every day for years. Unfortunately this is a UK/US Phenomenon.
I scrolled on All/Top-6-Hours and I see this horror story on my front page.
Are we gonna play Among Us IRL now?
Are my parents even real? Or just government agents? 🤔
I remember that happening in Orphan Black. But she stayed married to Donnie and he just became part of the clone gang.
Weren’t they already together when they approached Donnie, and he thought it was part of a study he couldn’t tell her about? I think it was Paul who was fully in the know about what he was doing to Beth Childs.
Maybe you might have it there

All I need to do is join a bunch of leftist organizations and the state will assign me a sexual partner?
Incels hate this one simple trick!
