WHEN police spy Mark Kennedy’s cover was blown by political activists in the winter of 2010, the corporate media were quick to follow the official line that he was the one bad apple who had gone rogue and spoiled their otherwise spotless image.
As part of his work he had deceived at least two women into intimate relationships.
Since then it has been proved that more than 20 spycops deliberately cheated at least 50 women into relationships.
