LATEST ISSUES 4th October, 2026
I may write about my recent trip to Faversham in a later post. Returning to my childhood haunt for the first time in over fifty-five years was both cathartic and revelatory. My memories have been recalibrated, which I was expecting but entirely new ones leapt out of cracks in pavements and sprang like ambushing predators from the shadows. And now everything seems psychologically altered.
There were two particularly frustrating emails waiting for me when I got back home.
The first, dated the 22nd September, 2026, was from Hampshire Police
'Dear Mr Stock
I have spoken with Chief Inspector Cervera, who has confirmed that the attached letter was sent to you in June. This correspondence provided a more detailed explanation of the outcome and included guidance on the appropriate processes to follow should you wish to raise any further concerns.
Based on our understanding, your complaint was addressed at that time and, as such, there is no further action for us to take in relation to this matter.
Best wishes
Tanya
Tanya Smith, Office Manager, Chief Officer Group'
I wont bore the reader with the 'letter' written by Business Support Manager, 19572 Finnegan but I will publish my reply which addresses his shambolic response to questions I posed to the Chief Inspector of Hampshire Police earlier in April this year.

Dear Tanya
PLEASE REFER MY COMPLAINT TO THE Independent Office for Police Conduct.
I am writing in response to your letter dated 15th June, 2026. Please be advised that this letter reached my email inbox, for the first time, on the 22nd September, 2026. Your letter was sent to a postal address that has not been updated on your records, despite the fact that police have visited me much earlier at my current address, ostensibly to provide a welfare check. My current address is listed below.
You have, again, disingenuously failed to respond to my very real concerns, refusing to address the substantive issues raised in my various complaints against Hampshire Police, some of which have been ongoing for FOUR YEARS!
The ‘allegations’ that 19572 Finnegan, Business Support Manager of the Professional Standards Department has failed to respond to include
‘Allegation 1
False information was included in the Prevent referral form by Gemma Stubbington, and she has refused to explain or correct it.
Allegation 2
HIOWC have repeatedly refused your requests for personal data which you feel is an improper use of exemptions. The ICO have supported your challenge but can only enforce with a court order
Allegation 3
Various people within HIOWC have not responded to your correspondence and “open” letters ‘
19572 Finnegan states
‘With regards Allegation 1, the named author is not a serving member of police staff as such if you have concerns this should be raised with Adult Services and Hampshire County Council further details of how to do this can be found below:…’
The actual reference to Gemma Stubbington was made for the purposes of context. My actual allegation was made against police mental health liaison, James Howard 12913 and senior manager for Public Access at Hampshire Police Jason Russell C2093.
I am asking for a ‘police mental health liaison’ to account for actions and advisements taken against me. I wrote to James Howard 12913 multiple times, beginning on the 5th February, 2026 requesting answers to reasonable questions. I have been roundly and rudely ignored.
According to ‘Adult Services’, actually the management and Information Governance of Hampshire & IOW Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, YOU, the police advised them, the Trust, to go ahead and refer me to Prevent.
WHY?
Police mental health liaison, James Howard 12913 advised Gemma Stubbington to complete a Community Partnership Information form with me as the subject.
WHY?
Community Safety Partnerships
Community Safety Partnerships (CSPs) were introduced by Section 6 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 and bring together local partners to formulate and implement strategies to tackle crime, disorder and antisocial behaviour in their communities.
WHAT CRIME, DISORDER OR ANTISOCIAL BEHAVIOUR AM I ALLEDGED TO HAVE COMMITTED WITHIN MY COMMUNITY?
The referral to Prevent AND the completion of the Community Partnership Information form were advised AFTER I had issued my written statement clarifying my intent to protest peacefully.
WHY?
‘Everyone has the right to protest and to organise protests. This right is protected by the European Convention on Human Rights (the ECHR).
Your right to freedom of expression is protected under Article 10 of the ECHR. Your right to freedom of assembly is protected under Article 11.
These Articles have been brought into UK law by the Human Rights Act 1998. It
Requires public authorities, like the police, to act in a way that is compatible with your rights. The police also have the legal obligation to help protests take place. A legal obligation is something that the law requires you to do. It’s not optional.
Allows you to bring a claim in UK courts when your rights are not respected.’
Returning to Gemma Stubbington of Hampshire & IOW Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust. Gemma Stubbington made contentious entries onto the Prevent referral form. She has NEVER been held to account for those entries. I have made YOU, the police, aware of these contentious entries but YOU refuse to take action or account for yourselves. YOU are, therefore, complicit and or guilty of covering up and or not investigating wrongdoing.
The referral to Prevent was actioned and closed immediately due to lack of merit. However, the records of this referral are now being held by the police and other multiple government agencies for SIX YEARS. This is NOT without consequence for me.
I have asked, politely and on multiple occasions, for police mental health liaison, James Howard 12913 to account for his advisements and involvement in this referral. He has rudely and contemptuously refused to even acknowledge me. He is supposed to be a liaison! He isn’t. He is an obstruction!
I have been tirelessly asking YOU, Hampshire Police to account for your actions and involvement in this referral.
‘Allegations 2 – There is an alternative process which is the ICO, should you require a court order you should seek legal advice how to do this it is not for the police complaints systems to address this matter
I am asking Jason Russell C2093 for access to my personal data held by Hampshire Police relating to the cynical and wholly unnecessary referral of me to the government’s counter terrorism initiative, PREVENT. I cannot afford legal action and have, to date, been unable to secure legal representation under Legal Aid provision because all such solicitors are running at capacity. I cannot currently afford justice
I know, for a fact, that false information was used to justify that referral. Surely you must agree that this amounts to corruption? Refusal to answer my reasonable questions suggests attempts to obfuscate, knowingly or otherwise, criminal activity.
I have been tirelessly asking Jason Russell C2093 for access to MY personal data held by YOU, Hampshire Police but he has rudely and contemptuously denied me. He has cited GDPR exemptions that suggest that I am held under suspicion of some criminal act.
THE PREVENT REFERRAL WAS ACTIONED AND CLOSED BY PC JENKS 25487 ON THE 7TH JULY, 2025. THAT SURELY SUGGESTS THAT I AM NOT A TERRORIST
WHAT CRIMINAL ACT DO YOU CONTINUE TO SUSPECT ME OF?
The exploitation of entrusted authority through the manipulative interpretation of legal provisions for personal benefit is otherwise known as ‘corruption’.
THIS IS NOT POLICING!
THIS IS MANIPULATION OF DATA, SURVEILLANCE AND CONTROL!
THIS IS THE ARCHITECTURE OF A TOTALITARIAN STATE.
and
‘Allegation 3 – The appropriate channels for raising these matters is through the public Access Team or the police complaints process your “open letters” being forwarded where appropriate over the past years you have sent a significant amount of correspondence outside these channels this correspondence is quite often long and complex as such I am content it is reasonable and propionate for correspondence to be passed to the appropriate channel much of your correspondence relates to matters already addressed by the appropriate legislative function’
‘Matters’ have categorically NEVER been addressed by any ‘appropriate legislative function’. The substantive issues raised by me since October, 2022 ie that Hampshire Police have recorded and retained information about me that is demonstrably FALSE.
I categorically deny ‘making unwanted contact’, ‘harassment’ and or ‘stalking’!
‘Unwanted contact’ I did NOT make ‘unwanted contact’ with anyone. How can anyone reasonably believe that any contact with anyone is ‘unwanted’ unless it is categorically stated, verbally or in writing, that contact is ‘unwanted’? My accuser had NEVER made me aware that contact with her was ‘unwanted’.
‘Harassment’ I did NOT ‘harass’ anyone. By all reasonable accounts Harassment is recognised as behaviour intended to cause a person alarm or distress. – https://sentencingcouncil.org.uk/resources/common-offences/harassment-and-stalking/ I did NOT intend to harass anyone, nor cause alarm or distress. My contact was polite and reasonable. My contact was absolutely necessary under the circumstances and was made under advisement of my accuser’s regulatory board, the Health and Care Professions Council by way of their ‘Standards of conduct, performance and ethics, Section 8.
‘Stalking’ I did NOT ‘stalk’ anyone. There is absolutely NO evidence of ‘stalking’ because it never happened. I have challenged and continue to challenge Hampshire Police to present evidence of ‘stalking’. Hampshire Police have never presented evidence of ‘stalking’ and I am 100% confident that no such evidence exists.
As such, all three accusations are FALSE. I put it to you that either my accuser LIED to Hampshire Police and or Hampshire Police have been lazy with the words used in their recording of the accusations. False accusations made by my accuser surely amount to perverting the course of justice and constitute a criminal offence? False information recorded by Hampshire Police, knowingly or otherwise, surely amounts to misconduct?
THE FALSE INFORMATION ABOUT ME THAT YOU ARE INSISTING ON RETAINING ON YOUR DATABASE FOR LEAST TEN YEARS AND POSSIBLY UNTIL I AM 100 YEARS OLD IS BEING HELD UNDER THE ‘CATEGORY 2 VIOLENT & SEXUAL OFFENCES’!
THIS IS AN ABOMINATION THAT HAS SERIOUS ONGOING AND LONG-TERM CONSEQUENCES FOR ME.
THIS IS AN OUTRAGEOUS INJUSTICE THAT I HAVE ALREADY ENDURED FOR OVER FOUR YEARS.
I insist that you reconsider my complaints. I WILL NOT, CAN NOT, REST UNTIL THIS IS RESOLVED.
IT IS MY FIRM BELIEF THAT THE ABOVE DETAILS ALLUDE TO REAL OCCURRENCES OF LAWFARE, OBSTRUCTION, MISCONDUCT AND CORRUPTION.
I am advising you that I will be taking further action
I am now committed to producing a documentary, factually journaling my harrowing experiences that started with CAMHS, Bramblys Drive, Basingstoke and the art therapist, Sally Mungall and continued through CMHT The Bridge Centre finally under Hampshire & IOW Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, including the unjust involvement of Hampshire Police. This documentary will be widely published on social media and offered to news media companies including the BBC and Channel Four and alternative media and podcast outlets.
I will continue publishing factual accounts to my blog at www.fourandtwentydeadcrows.com and inviting the national press and professionals alike to read and share.
I will continue to protest and continue to place my life at risk through actions including future hunger strikes.
I will continue to secure legal representation under Legal Aid provision.
At some point, my efforts will push this story into widespread public awareness.
I was made into a monster by those who wanted to preserve their own professional reputations. Because they are accredited professionals, their word has been believed, so indiscriminately that those charged with investigating have barely done their job.
I WILL have justice.
I WANT MY LIFE BACK.
Yours absolutely sincerely,
MARK STOCK

The second email I received was from Ian Stock, Operational Manager of 'Fitness to Practice at the Health and Care Professions Council. The perfunctory email from Ian Stock means to draw a line under proceedings following my complaint about their registrant, art therapist, Sally Mungall. It is a shameful and wholly inadequate attempt by the regulatory body to bury serious historic and ongoing concerns, eroding the integrity of their own codified ethics and standards and undermining public confidence along the way.
I may publish Ian Stock's email later this week for the record but my intention is to now journal my experiences with the Health and Care Professions Council in my upcoming documentary.
I begin work on my documentary next week and will be filming along the South West Coast Path between Weymouth and Lulworth Cove in Dorset, the location of my walk back on the 27th April, 2022. https://www.fourandtwentydeadcrows.com/post/four-and-twenty-dead-crows-22-the-walk-to-lulworth
I will post part 12 of 'A Theory of Everything' to this blog on the 9th October.
