I had not intended to post anymore entries to this blog until the 5th January, 2026 but I received the following email earlier this morning
'Dear Mr Stock
I refer to your email below. It is not for me to comment on another organisation’s response to your Right of Access Request.
Please note that I will not respond to any further emails from you in respect of any request you have made to another organisation.
Kind Regards
Jason Russell
Senior Manager for Public Access
JOINT INFORMATION MANAGEMENT UNIT'
I needed to get this off my chest and so immediately replied
'But it IS absolutely for YOU to comment.
The organisation in question, HIOWHealthcare Trust have informed me that THE POLICE have imposed the restriction on my Right of Access Request.
YOU are the POLICE and YOU are almost certainly the one who has imposed the restriction.
I am simply asking
1) that you confirm that it is actually YOU, Jason Russell, who made the executive decision to impose the restriction on my lawful right to access records from Sadie Bell's team at HIOWHealthcare Trust and
2) if it is confirmed that YOU imposed the restriction that YOU rescind the restriction.
Your refusal to properly manage my legitimate enquiries will be held against you in substantive complaints to Public Standards, the IOPC, the government's formal PREVENT complaints process, PreventWatch and the ICO. I will be lodging a case for legal representation by the end of January 2026 and, if advised, be taking legal action against you and EVERYONE else involved in the referral of me to PREVENT.
You and your team have been recklessly incompetent, obstructive and unprofessional while dealing with my enquiries related to H***************** since the 28th July 2025. FIVE ENTIRE MONTHS!!!
I was already subject to a gross injustice at the hands of Hampshire Police following spurious and false allegations made against me in September 2022. YOU are already holding FALSE, DISCRIMINATORY and PSYCHOLOGICALLY DAMAGING information about me on your databases and have informed me that you will not remove that information for 10 years with a view to retaining that same information until I am 100 years old!! To add insult to injury, I was cynically referred to PREVENT following my expressed intent to PEACEFUL PROTEST. Records of the PREVENT referral are now being held on police and Home Office databases. I have been reliably informed that those records will remain on those databases for up to 6 YEARS!!!
So, before you make further advisements to reflect on the 'tone' of my emails, perhaps YOU should reflect on MY position. ANY reasonable and sane person in my position would feel RIGHTEOUS and APPROPRIATE anger. I am, in fact, exercising CONSIDERABLE RESTRAINT.
This email advises that I WILL be holding YOU to account.
You and your team have a responsibility to observe and uphold the principles behind access to records ie
TRANSPARENCY, ACCOUNTABILITY, ACCESSIBILTY and COMPLIANCE.
This is your opportunity to cooperate with me and my legitimate requests for access to records.
Your current attitude grievously undermines public TRUST and CONFIDENCE.'
