For almost 20 years now, nearly everywhere I have travelled to in Europe been pointed out to not only police, but security guards, and often not only security guards, but to shop staff, rail station staff, airport staff etc. After nearly 20 years, I still don’t “know” whether it’s a delusion or not, as it has never been confirmed, and in fact, denied explicitly at least a few dozen times. Now keep in mind that countries like France, Spain, Austria, and Germany cannot keep track of ISIS terrorists who go on to commit mass slaughter and the like, but they can spare the resources, and apparently have legal justification, to keep me not only under surveillance like this for nearly 20 years, but deliberately “keep me guessing” (a paranoid schizophrenic) whether any of it is really happening, meanwhile encouraging or inciting all those security guards and members of the public to mock me for “not liking to be looked at”. But anyway, I’ve described this dozens of times already here. Suffice to say, if this ever comes to court the four previous chief commissioners of the Met Police will be near certain to be going to prison for life in the biggest scandal in the history of the police in the UK, as well as police chiefs in some of the European countries listed here surely facing legal consequences too.

So here is a ranking from LEAST sadistic and criminal, to the MOST.

SERBIA

I spent some time in Serbia over a decade ago, in Belgrade and Novi Sad. I can’t remember the police being sadistic or aggressive. A couple of times in Belgrade they gave me angry or annoyed looks as I passed them, as though they were ‘aware of me’, but nothing compared to what I was experiencing in other countries at the time. Nor was I given any reason to believe that they had pointed me out to shop staff and the like. In fact, I doubt if the Serbian police did anything that was illegal or even improper – no doubt to the annoyance of the Met Police.

10 # FRANCE

I haven’t visited France for a long time, but I did visit a few times in the ‘early years’ of my torture. Although the French police were very mocking, I didn’t encounter the same kind of sadistic behaviour from police and security guards as I did in Spain or Germany, or indeed what I was facing back in the UK. I did however, get intimidation and mockery from Eurotunnel staff, on both sides of the border (I usually travelled by Eurostar).
