The written statement of #AndyColes is shown on screen. it mentions that he had a British Visitors Passport in his cover name and misled the post office as to his identity, his managers said it was fine.
This is not a rare example of the fraud committed by #spycops. In a later stage of the Inquiry we may (or may not) hear of Rod Richardson who used his fake identity on Companies House register as a director of the Housing Coop he joined in #Nottingham
Even the Chair of Undercover Policing Inquiry looks like he's finding sleazy #AndyColes 'evidence' hard to believe.
Reference to Trevor Monerville relates to #MetPolice decision to spy on the campaign to obtain justice and accountability for 19 year old Trevor, who was diagnosed with long-term brain damage following his arrest by Stoke Newington Police officers on New Year’s Day 1987. Trevor was murdered in March 1994
This was covered by #spycops Inquiry in October

Richard Adams and John Burke-Monerville to give evidence at the Undercover Policing Inquiry on Thursday 24 October. Richard Adams’ two sons were attacked by a gang of racists when going home from playing table tennis at their youth club on February 21 1991. Rolan, 15,...
Over on twitt site @tombfowler reports about the "Lucozade hoax" by ALF activists, where Robin Webb talks about how there was no plot. #AndyColes has no evidence, admits he is stretching. #spycops
@ARSpycatcher passed on wise words from our dearly missed Nancy Phipps R.I.P about always suing when wrongfully arrested:
"There is no evidence that [the lucozade hoax] was real. All those arrested for it were released without charge and later given substantial amounts in compensation by the police"
The moment that #AndyColes looses moral right to any public office
He wrote that #spycops should have "a fleeting disastrous relationship" with a woman who is "not important". The implication is that IF spying on activists is legitimate [it is not] then abuse of "innocent" people is ok
Coles accepts it is completely improper advice, it might be unlawful. amoral, unprofessional, misogynistic & encouraged spycops to behave inappropriately & contributed to harm done to women deceived by officers
Did #AndyColes include in his reports details of his attendance at a #McLibel meeting, discussing legal strategy of Helen Steel & Dave Morris.
"Yes"
Have the #Spycops, their handlers and those directing the work of the UK's secret political police unit never heard or never cared about the concept of 'Privilege' - a fundamental legal right that allows individuals and corporate entities to resist disclosure of confidential and sensitive material.

We already knew Coles was a liar but those watching him give his 'evidence' yesterday were shocked by how many new holes he’s now dug for himself.
He has demonstrated just how little respect he has for the Inquiry process.
Or the law.
Former undercover police officer and Tory councillor #AndyColes will be giving evidence at the #spycops inquiry Wednesday to Friday this week.
The Inquiry have already announced an early start, anticipating lies & evasions from Coles.

Meanwhile @copscampaign summary of evidence of Claire Hildreth, 1990s animal rights activist spied on by two officers who exaggerated & lied to bosses to make her & her comrades sound scary:
This week, #spycops officer Andy Coles will be questioned by the Undercover Policing Inquiry. Unique among officers who deceived women into relationships, he has flatly denied that it ever happened. What exactly did he do, & what will the Inquiry be asking him about?🧵(1/18)
You thought #spycops #BobLambert is/was a sleaze? Wait til you hear about #AndyColes
