This afternoon I received notification that I have been referred to Prevent, the government's anti-terrorism strategy.


I am aghast!.


Instead of channelling energy into supporting me as I address my grievences against Art Therapist, Sally Mungall, CAMHS, Bramblys Drive, Basingstoke, the Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, Hampshire Constabulary and the Parliamentary Health Service Ombudsman, it appears that a trusted healthcare leader and my appointed Parliamentary representative have both double-downed and added another thick layer to my already considerable trauma.


This is the latest correspondence from this afternoon.




Subject: FW: Follow up from care coordination meeting 11 June, 2025

 

From: Stubbington, Gemma **************************************: 18 June 2025 14:06To: Mark StockSubject: RE: Follow up from care coordination meeting 11 June, 2025

 

Dear Mark

 

I am aware that receiving an email from myself may not be a welcome email, I am sorry this may be the case. I have valued our contacts and appreciated your feedback to help our service grow and learn.

 

In my role I give a lot of advice and sign posting to staff – with the information I was given I was concerned enough to give advice which did include a prevent referral and consideration of a Multi agency risk management (MARM) meeting.

 

I subsequently sought advice from the trust safeguarding staff and police and they advised a prevent referral be completed. I have read and understood your statement, thankyou for sending this to myself.

 

The police have not approached us – but I have shared information with the police as part of the recommendation from the trust safeguarding staff.

 

I have a duty to our patients, carers, and the public. As I said I understand that my email and its content may not be welcome but I wanted to ensure I responded with the detail you asked for.


Gemma Stubbington

Head of Nursing, Professions and Quality for Mid & North Area


Dear Gemma,

 

I have just reread your email dated 19th May 2025 including your final words, .‘We are here walking by your side Mark’.

 

I had taken much comfort from those words. Indeed, those words had been read by my therapist, Jackie and used during the recent psychotherapy sessions together as evidence that I was being ‘held’ by you and CMHT The Bridge Centre. I am certain you understand what it means to ‘hold’ a patient, to create a safe space and maintain an environment of support and non-judgemental, unconditional positive regard for that patient. I have had very good reason to feel cynical about the care that I have often received from CMHT The Bridge Centre but I always felt safe with you, Gemma.

 

Your latest email dated and received on the 18th June 2025 feels like abject betrayal.

 

I am deeply saddened to learn that you HAVE referred me to PREVENT, the government strategy to prevent terrorism. Your decision has desecrated that safe space and violated my trust in you.

 

I am rendered incredulous that you and the Trust’s safeguarding team now regard me as an ‘extremist’ or potential or actual terrorist.

 

You, Gemma, understand, or should understand, that I have legitimate grievances against individuals and institutions whose primary purpose is to safeguard and protect. My actions while attempting to hold individuals and institutions to account have always been pro-social, polite and reasonable.

 

YOU have actually met with me on two separate occasions and I have been cordial, gently spoken and respectful. I would expect you to agree that I have NEVER threatened to harm anyone nor insinuated threats to harm anyone.

 

I have been painfully transparent while informing you of my intentions to protest in London later this month and shared those same intentions widely on social media, including my blog page . There is absolutely NO evidence throughout any of my correspondence with you or any of my blog entries online of any intention by me to indulge in terrorist activity while I protest.

 

By dint of your decision to refer me to Prevent I am now to be regarded in the same light as Far-Right extremists and Islamic terror groups. Was it not enough that I had been falsely accused of ‘Violent and Sexual offences’. This latest accusation just adds to my profound and untenable sense of injustice. I am utterly, utterly overwhelmed!

 

I have taken the opportunity this afternoon to read a copy of the Prevent referral form that you will or have already completed. I am disturbed to read some of the questions that you will be compelled to answer, ie

 

‘What is the person’s ideology or belief of concern if known? For example, extreme right-wing terrorism (ERWT), Islamist terrorism, left wing, anarchist and single-issue terrorism (LASIT)’

 

In light of the seriousness of this wholly inappropriate escalation and particularly bearing in mind the full range of questions posited in the referral form, I am respectfully asking that you forward a copy of your completed form to me asap. I am genuinely interested in understanding your rationale for suggesting this referral.

 

I am truly at a loss for further words.

I cannot find it in my heart to be angry at you, Gemma. I am, however, deeply disappointed in you. I can only convey my utter sadness at what I deem to be your abandonment of me. Your action has likely condemned me. I can only hope that you exercise more care and caution towards Meg in the future.

 

With Regards,

 

Mark'


I HAVE BEEN MADE TO FEEL UNSAFE AND DESPERATE.


but


I WILL NOT BE DETERRED.


I WILL be protesting, as planned, to raise public awareness of my fight for justice and my struggle to hold those responsible for abuse, clinical neglect and lies to account. I want the public to have full access to my story.

I am committed to protest, including hunger strike. I will starve myself in real time and in full view of the public.


THAT IS MY DECLARATION!
