Undercover political policing didn& #39;t stop when #SpyCops were unmasked in 2010. They& #39;d been absorbed into Counter Terrorism Command. In 2016 its chief, Richard Walton, resigned when it was revealed he& #39;d been involved in spying on Stephen Lawrence& #39;s family. https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/met-chief-had-a-case-to-answer-over-stephen-lawrence-family-snooping-a3193771.html">https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crim... https://twitter.com/netpol/status/1321726616691707909">https://twitter.com/netpol/st...

Since resigning as #SpyCops boss to dodge misconduct charges over spying on Stephen Lawrence& #39;s family, Richard Walton works for a right wing thinktank writing reports & getting airtime telling the public that Extinction Rebellion are dangerous extremists https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/dark-money-investigations/think-tank-wont-reveal-who-paid-for-report-calling-extinction-rebellion-extremists/">https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/dark-m...

How many #SpyCops who committed outrages went on to management roles? How many are still in them? How many, like Walton, used a revolving door into repressive political work or corporate spying? The #SpyCopsInquiry aims to dodge these questions & leave political policing intact.
