People with severe and devasting mental illnesses in Gibraltar may want to exercise great caution in ever getting on the wrong side of the police, now that former Met Police commander Owain Richards has been made their new head. Richards was responsible for policing in West London – including Hammersmith and Fulham – when the illegal and utterly sadistic gaslighting of the Met Police was at its very worst, or at least its effect on me was at its most terrible, given that I was trying to cope with my mother’s cancer and then slow and painful death at the time. There is not a chance in hell he could not have been aware of it, greenlighting it, and likely actively encouraging it.

Psychological torture is a criminal offence in the UK under the Criminal Justice Act of 1988 that carries a life sentence if carried out by a public official, such as a police chief. It is illegal in Gibralter in the same way under the 2011 Crimes Act. In both the UK and Gibraltar, it is specified that it does not matter the nationality of the individual, nor where he commits the offence.
