I had a heads up in April last year about the extraordinary students movement in Serbia - literally building a parallel polis to outmode their authoritarian leader & defeat him in elections. Of course different context, but much to learn for the Indy minded. My @ScotNational column thenational.scot/politics/26…

Why do we enjoy punishing people? What makes condemnation feel so satisfying—and how does that pleasure become respectable? The Pleasure of Punishment explores these uncomfortable questions through a thoroughly reassuring British public information film. youtube.com/watch?v=dT8kVrzK…

It’s not a bad way to celebrate my 62nd birthday—in the early promo for a forthcoming electro album (go to hueandcry.co.uk). “He not busy being born is busy dying” is my t-shirt slogan today. Love to Everybody x

Most young men don't have a fake passport, fake driving licence, fake bank account and fake job, all manufactured by the British state, in order to lie to attractive women. You prize prick, Boyling. #spycops
Jim Boyling says when attractive women ask to come home with young men, young men don't make excuses and run away. #spycops

Every time #spycops Jim Boyling tells @ucpinquiry he "can't remember" details about his spying on Reclaim the Streets because "it was 30 years ago", we should remember that it is the CO2 emissions released 30 years ago that are causing the current flooding and climate chaos.

A few minutes later there’s a letter shown, of thanks from CO11 to SDS commending their intelligence supplied that contributed to policing the April 12th 1997 March for Social Justice. Either SDS beef with CO11 was one way or Boyling’s evidence is not totally accurate.
Jim Boyling says that CO11 viewed Special Branch as a rival agency so there wasn't communication between the two. They weren't trusted not to expose a #spycops officer if they were made aware of one.

Revelation of the day from Undercover Policing Inquiry. Spycop Jim Boyling outlining his deceit with activist Monica but also showing he hid his identity when giving evidence under oath in court (contrary I guess to his legal advice). 1st time this had been admitted? #spycops
Trial was 9 January 1997. Jim Boyling gave evidence at the trial as a defendant. The court did not know he was a #spycops officer in a false identity. There was no consideration about misleading the court. Boyling attempts to play down legal advice he received from Mike Swartz
