YouTube video by Cops Campaign Spycops inquiry reaction: afternoon of 11 Feb 2026 - HN14 Jim Boyling evidence (Day 3/4)

Instant update in the afternoon break at the Undercover Policing Inquiry where #spycops officer Jim Boyling is denying all sorts of stuff that he & his unit blatantly did

youtu.be/fH0eaDdrh4Q

Met had ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ policy, says spycop who tricked women into sexual relationships Jim Boyling tells public inquiry senior managers turned blind eye to long-term relationships with three women

#spycops officer Jim Boyling told the public inquiry he had to do it in order to do his job, & his managers said such relationships were inevitable. He also says half of his coleagues never did it. He appears unaware of the contradiction.

The inquiry has promised that a redacted video & transcript of yesterday afternoon’s hearing will be made available, sometime. Given that we're still waiting for transcripts of hearings from more than 2 months ago (ones that were uncontroversial and need no redactions), this may be a very long wait.

This is laudable, but such a sweeping blanket ban denies us access to things being said that won't breach anyone's privacy.

It makes it impossible for those Boyling spied on to submit ‘Rule 10 questions’, asking for more information responding to what he's said during those unbroadcast hours.

We have to wonder when they took the decision and why they didn't communicate it earlier. Yesterday afternoon's hearing wasn't broadcast either, and again we were given no warning.

The secrecy is to protect the identity of one or more civilian witnesses who will be under discussion.

We have just learnt that this morning’s Undercover Policing Inquiry hearing will NOT be broadcast. The inquiry did not bother informing anyone of this latest development until 2 minutes before the hearing was due to start! 🧵
