After the totally ineffectual questioning of Jason Bishop at the Undercover Policing Inquiry, it was a pleasure to see David Barr getting stuck into former undercover officer Carlo Soracchi lies last week...
#Spycops
Having repeatedly said that his dishonest answers had been on the basis of his legal advice, Carlo Soracchi insisted that his lawyers had not advised him to lie. Really Carlo, make your mind up.
#spycops
Did the Police Federation lawyers advise Carlo Soracchi not to tell the truth to the Operation Herne into deception of women into sexual relationships during undercover operations targetting predominately left wing groups?
#SpyCops
The Last Leg has form for inviting on guests who'll deliver tasteless & inappopriate 'humour' - they had on @revrichardcoles in 2024, chortling about his brother being one of the #spycops
(just weeks after @AndyColesFLW had been questioned about his sexual abuse of young women)
Of course Jenner told Soracchi nothing in his role as mentor. No passing on of top tips. No sharing of stories. No nothing. What a great mentor programme. #spycops
No shit Sherlock! Shooting an innocent unarmed man 7 times in the head is bad news for the filth's reputation. Does nothing to stop it keep happening though #spycops#ACAB#Fuckthepolice
Carlo Soracchi says that left wing people getting on the Independent Police Complaints Commission was viewed as a danger to the Met Police as it could cause issues to police investigations #spycops
Dear Carlo Soracchi,
What you are doing, and the slippery way you are answering straightforward questions, and sidestepping the issues, is not - despite what you make think - making you appear any less an abuser, a groomer, a rapist.
#spycops
The more we hear from these #spycops the more shockingly depraved, self-serving & sadistic they become. Each one has their own unique twist on manipulating the emotions of the women deceived & the accumulative effect is why we say these units were institutionally misogynist.
A document from Met Police Counter Terrorism Command says that Carlo Soracchi's targets Joe Batty, Frank Smith, Steve Hedley all had violent convictions. None of them do. He admits this is wrong, and says he didn't write the document. #spycops
Watching these #spycops blink & squirm their way around giving a straight answer has become an entertaining sport. Very looking forward to seeing how gang-member Carlo-Amnesia-Soracchi deals with #rentgate.
