I received a response from the OPCC a couple of days ago regarding my complaints against Hampshire Constabulary. I have published that response below. Today I compiled a reply to the OPCC response. That reply is also published here.

During last Friday evening I received an unexpected and, somewhat, unwanted telephone call from Hampshire Police. The caller, who identified himself as ‘Joshua’, informed me that he had earlier called at my previous home and was, perhaps, surprised to find that I no longer lived there. He proceeded to bumble his way through an explanation for his call, insinuating a pretext to my ‘open letter’ dated 30th April, 2025. Regular readers to my blog will already be aware of that ‘o

BANK HOLIDAY MONDAY, 26TH MAY, 2025. What follows is an account of a day in the life of my mentally ill daughter, Meg and me, her dad and carer. While the events that make up this account are, thankfully, not typical, they are, nevertheless, far too frequent. Meg, is currently under ‘shared care’ at CMHT, The Bridge Centre, a recent decision made following my concerns at her fast deteriorating mental health. A crisis had been developing over several days just prior to the May

'The Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman ( PHSO ) sits at the apex of the complaints process. It is the only organisation which handles complaints about government bodies and the NHS on behalf of the public. The popular concept of an Ombudsman is that it is a body which protects the citizen from an abuse of power, by holding an authority to account. An ombudsman, ombudsperson, ombud, or public advocate is an official who is charged with representing the

I have just forwarded the following information to the Parliamentary Health Service Ombudsman at the request of senior caseworker, Thomas Body. I have agreed to refrain from publishing further information in relation to my complaint against the Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust until their investigation is completed and so this will be my final post relating to the PHSO for the time being. I am pleased that Thomas recognises that I am under no obligation to refrain from

I will be forwarding the following 'Open Letter' later today. 5th March, 2025 ‘OPEN LETTER’ This updates my ‘open letter’ of 6th January, 2025 THIS 'OPEN LETTER' IS, OSTENSIBLY, NOTIFICATION OF MY PROTEST AGAINST HAMPSHIRE CONSTABULARY BY WAY OF HUNGER STRIKE.

I have just received the following letters. Lord Hanson Flint's response simply redirects me to the Information Commissioners Office and the Independent Office for Police Conduct. I'm now trapped in a loop. My hunger strike resumes on the 5th March, 2025. I will not back down. Unless I am willing to accept the unjust loss of my life and liberty I cannot back down.

A SERIES OF UPDATES THE UK PARLIAMENTARY COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH INQUIRY SUBMISSION I have taken time out from posting to Four and Twenty Dead Crows so as to collate evidence to submit to the Inquiry before the deadline of the 4th February, 2025. ‘The Committee is undertaking an inquiry into community mental health services. The inquiry will examine what good looks like from the perspective of service users and their families/carers. The Committee would like the inquiry t

My attention was recently drawn to an invitation by the cross-party Health and Social Care Committee to users of mental health services to submit evidence of their experiences. It is the stated responsibility of the HSCC to scrutinise the work of the Department of Health and Social Care and its associated public bodies. They examine government policy, spending and administration on behalf of the electorate and the House of Commons. I will be taking time out from posting upda

Here follows Part Two of my response to the letter from the Health and Care Professions Council received on the 9th December, 2024. This is another lengthy document running to 5260 words and around the same length as Part One yet I have only addressed two out of the seven outstanding issues that I wanted the HCPC to forward to their Investigation Panel. I would need another two or three days to complete this response to my satisfaction but my mental health is very poor at the

I received a letter from the Health and Care Professions Council on Tuesday, 10th December,2024 with an update on my 'fitness to practice' complaint. The letter is marked 'Private and Confidential' so I will not publish it at this moment in time. I have, however, started drafting a response which I freely share below. I intend finishing this lengthy document by Monday next week and will post the remainder on the same day. It is important that the HCPC investigate this complai

I am making a conscious effort to regularly appraise my motives and intentions as I continue to add posts to my blog. Today I thought I would pose a particularly pertinent question to Quora, the question and answer website and online knowledge market. I first started using Quora at the formal ending of my ‘art therapy’ sessions with Sally Mungall, three years prior. I was desperate for insight and quality answers to questions around therapy, transference and counter-transfere

Note. I have reread the following 'Open Letter' multiple times since posting it yesterday and been so appalled at my writing that I tried editing it several times today. I now realise this to be a mistake. This post needs to be a faithful reproduction of the letter as it was when sent to each of the addressees listed. It is the honest thing to do, in keeping with the ethos that underpins the intention behind this blog, providing an accurate and truthful account of events and
