'I thought he was my boyfriend - he was an undercover cop sent to spy on me'

It was decades later that I found out the truth, but nothing prepares you for finding out the person you shared your most intimate moments with was a paid actor, a total stranger. Through a network of activists supporting those affected by undercover police abuses I discovered the truth: that in his ‘real’ life, Coles had gone on to become deputy police and crime commissionerfor Cambridgeshire, and a Conservative councillor.  His arrogance, working in two publicly respected positions despite the completely unjustified relationship he had with me,turned mystomach. That means mine is a double injustice, familiar to so many people who’ve been wronged by the state: what they did to you in the first place, then what they do to avoid accountability.
