Spycop HN85 Roger Pearce 'Roger Thorley' infiltrated anarchist groups 1979-84. He gave evidence to the spycops public inquiry in July 2024. The Inquiry hasn't posted video of him being questioned on its YouTube channel, so we've posted it on ours.
Thorley wrote anti-police articles while undercover. Afterwards he became a Special Branch manager before retiring in 2003 to write awful novels.

The Undercover Policing Inquiry has been questioning HN1 'Matt Rayner' about the spycops he mentored, including HN15 Mark Jenner.
Tom Fowler talks to Alison from Police Spies Out Of Lives who was deceived into a relationship by Jenner.
HN1 says he and management knew all about Jenner living with Alison for many years. This contradicts other statements by, er, HN1 'Matt Rayner'.
The afternoon report from the Undercover Policing Inquiry as spycop HN1 'Matt Rayner'denies much of what he did even though there's all manner of evidence and witnesses, and we learn how he was awarded a police commendation for foiling an animal rights activists' plot to kill turkeys. You read that right.
