Last year I made several complaints about your staff deliberately gaslighting me in the knowledge that I have a mental health disability and that the same thing has been happening to me across the UK and Europe for well over a decade, something that is very much illegal in post-medieval England, and specifically as regards the Met police individuals responsible, a life sentence tarrif criminal offence under the Criminal Justice Act of 1988. I mentioned in one of those complaints that I had been left too intimdated by the TSS security guard in Boots to collect prescriptions for my 88 year old cancer stricken mother.

On my first visits back to that Boots store last month for nearly a year, a different security guard, who I had obviously also been pointed out too, again followed me around the store on each visit, while visibly smirking.

Can Giulia Puricelli, or whoever is the current administrator for the center, confirm or deny that Mark Adedeji, the security manager, passed on my concerns to Rabia Bennett the store manager of that Boots branch? I am currently making a complaint to the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC).

Perhaps you could also explain to me why I am still being pointed out to your new CIS security guards, who similarly make a point of standing watching whenever I go into Pret A Manger, or follow me into the toilets after I’ve come out of Starbucks?

Cheers

One of Neill Catton’s CIS Security Limited guards who patrol the Fulham and Hammersmith Broadway shopping centers, usually positioned by the escalators but move to cover Pret A Manger whenever I go in.

Sharon White is currently the Chair of the John Lewis Group, which owns Waitrose as well as the John Lewis stores. I forwarded my complaint regarding my recent experiences in the Waitrose store at Fulham, to her CEO contact email on October 6th 2021.

just reaffirming my committment to having your store manager prosecuted at a future point. Whether or not your low IQ security guards or line managers could think their and your actions are lawful, there is no possible way a store manager or area manager could. I’ve been deliberately gaslighted by the Met police and their colleagues for 13 years in 15 different countries, with the clear intention of causing me extreme psychological distress and pain through the exploitation of my mental health disability – which they have very much succeeded in doing. This is not legal, and at least some of those criminal police officers will go to prison for life for it under the Criminal Justice Act of 1988.
Note that this e-mail/converstaion is going to be forwarded on to your senior management team, and the management team for the John Lewis group, including Sharon White the chairwoman of the John Lewis group. If you senior management were not previously aware of what was taking place in multiple of your Waitrose (and John Lewis stores and other stores owned by the John Lewis group) they are certainly now and have criminal responsibility if it continues.

At your store in Fulham you appear to have encouraged even cashiers to mock me for ‘not liking to be looked at’, as well as justifying this by my behaviour 13 years ago during a mental health episode which was casued by the Met Police. When I enter that store after 13 years with the intention of finally recording such things on my phone, you apparently use that as an excuse to ‘double down’ on your torture and as a justicifation for having brutally gaslighted me for 13 years.

From this point onwards i want you to be sure to record everything that a police officer passes on to your security guards or any other member of stafff, including management, and to record the ID of the police officer.
I would like to remind you that intimidating a victim of crime is an offence which carries a 5 year sentence in the UK.

In the attached photo the security guard was giving me that same intense stare for 30 seconds before I pulled out my phone to record him (and he turned his head away pretending to look at something else), as I have basic fundamental right to do so in order to establish just what you absolute criminal psychopaths are doing to me.

I have not recieved any reply 11 days later. I also forwarded the email on to Ricky Gardezi, CEO of TSS Security, who provide the security guards for Waitrose, and presumably John Lewis.

Last summer I was intimidated by the black male security guard at Boots, Fulham Broadway, from collecting my prescriptions sent there for my elderly mother who was suffering from cancer. I mentioned this in a general complaint to the security manger of Fulham Broadway Mark Adededji, and Giulia Puricelli, the center manager for Deutsche International Custodial Services who own the Broadway shopping center. Given that the (new) security guard at that Boots branch behaved in an identical matter, and that I had clearly been pointed out to him as well, it seems either that :

1. Mark Adededji/Giulia Puricelli did not feel a customer being intimidated from collecting essential prescriptions for his elderly cancer stricken mother was worth passing on to the Boot store.
2. They did pass it on to the store manager Rabia Bennett, but she did not feel it worth passing on to the security guard or taking any action, or she passed it on and had no result.

After being followed around the Boots, Fulham Broadway branch by the smirking new security guard last month, I decided to make a complaint to Boots Customer Care, or rather inform them of my intention to report Rabia Bennett to the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC).

Hi,

just to let you know that I intend to refer the manger of your store at Fulham Broadway, who according to your site is ‘Rabia Bennett’, to the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC). For the last 13 years I’ve been pointed out to not only your TSS security guards at multiple of your branches, but also even to at least some cashiers. This has never been admitted to me, either by the Met Police or your customer care, who I first complained to over a decade ago. As regards your branch in Fulham Broadway Center, last summer I was followed around by your black male security guard, with his arms aggressively folded, whenever I visited that store to collect prescriptions for my cancer suffering elderly mother. I have had to since switch to a different pharmacy as I was too intimidated to collect her prescriptions and genuinely feared for my physical safety, aside from the psychological duress this very deliberate gaslighting causes me as a former mental health patient.. Recently I visited that store again after an absence of almost a year. You now employ an Asian TSS security guard who I cannot recall ever seeing before in my life. Despite this, on my first visit back to the store last week he clearly recognized me and followed me around the store smirking. He did so again today.

I also appear to have been pointed out to a (south east) Asian looking cashier who has worked there for several years, and like cashiers in a number of other of your stores over the years, serves me in a very strange manner.

Presumably this could not take place without the knowlege of your store manager. To do what your company has done to mentally disabled customer for 13 years is not just disgusting, it’s clearly illegal, and certainly in breach of GPhC guidelines, as will be established soon after I submit my complaint to them. As regards the conduct of the police officers concerned, it’s equally clearly an offence under the Criminal Justice Act of 1988 and carries a life term.

Note that I also intend to write a letter to the Right Honourable Greg Hands, Member of Parliament for Fulham and Chelsea.

Cheers

I recieved the following reply :

Thank you for taking the time to contact us. I am sorry to hear of your recent experiences in our Fulham Broadway store, and I appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

Please be assured, your complaint has been fed back to the appropriate teams, and we will continue to monitor the issue raised for similar feedback.

If you would like to be contacted regarding the outcome of your complaint, please respond to this email with your full name and preferred method of contact.

Please accept my sincerest apologies for any inconvenience caused.

“..we will continue to monitor the issue raised for similar feeback.” What on Earth does that mean? They are only going to take it seriously if 2 or 3 other members of the public complains about the security guard there of being tortured for 13 years by their TSS gaslighting security guards, and left unable to collect their elderly cancer stricken mother’s essential prescriptions?

I replied back :

first I’m going to wait and see if it actually results in a positive change in that store (and others). I first brought this to the attention of Boots Customer Care over 10 years ago (regarding being pointed out to security guards at multiple of your branches and consequently abused and harassed by not only your TSS security guards but by cashiers in multiple branches across southern England). The only result of these complaints has been for the guards and even cashiers and pharmacists at the stores in question to behave even more aggressively towards me. In the light of this I would rather wait to see if the security guard at that store attempts to physically assault me or such before I give you my full name and address in case you do pass it on to him or his boss Ricky Gardezi. In any case, as stated, I am going to make a complaint to the GPhC and to the Right Honourable Greg Hands, and as this is an extremely grave criminal matter lasting for 13 years involving not only Boots (and not only at your Fulham Broadway store) but the Met Police, I would suggest it will be taken out of both my hands and your hands as to the subsequent course of events.

I also forwarded my first e-mail on to Ricky Gardezi, the CEO of Total Security Services (TSS). I received this forwarded ‘reply’ back :

To: [email protected];[email protected];

Subject: FW: Serious complaint regarding your Fulham Broadway branch staff

Fyi – more of a complaint against Boots personnel.

I’m not sure if it’s worth responding in case it aggravates the situation?

Thanks

Ricky

So for 13 years I’ve been pointed out to hundreds of his security guards at dozens of branches of Boots, Waitrose, Tesco etc. across London and Southern England, and apparently he is unaware of this.

I’ve been feeling very rough of late since I came back from London. Psychologically it’s as if I took a beating with baseball bats, and that the broken bones and bruises are struggling to heal. In the next week or two I will begin counselling in the city where I reside, as well as have face to face legal advice. In the 13 years of this illegal and sadistic torture, it will be the first time I’ve ever spoken to another person about it (other than the occasional store manager who nods their heads patronizingly while looking at me as though I’m a nutter).

So there is reason for me to attempt to stay positive and retain hope. Apart from the trauma of my London visit, and the frankly ‘doubling down’ on the torture by the psychopaths of the Met Police, the British headlines I’ve been reading have been full of the tragic case of the young woman murdered by a serving Met Police officer. At the end of the trial concluded last week, with the defendant Wayne Couzens convicted of Sarah Everard’s rape and murder and sentenced to life behind bars, a number of shocking things came to light.

• He was in uniform, and used his Covid powers of arrest, to handcuff the young woman, order her into the back of his car, and then drove her 80 miles to rape and murder her.
• He had been involved in sex offences such as flashing several times in his past, as recently as just 3 days before he murdered the woman, but wasn’t investigated and passed vetting for the Met.
• His Met Police colleagues thought he was a normal police officer and noticed nothing unusual about him (although his colleagues in the Civil Nuclear Constabulary termed him ‘the rapist’).
• He and a number of Met Police colleagues shared sickening and obscene jokes and comments about women, including about rape, in a WhatsApp group.
• A number of Met Police officers, including an officer linked to the Everard case, shared a sick meme in another WhatsApp group, that made a joke of Met Police officers kidnapping, raping, and murdering young women in the manner that Couzens had just done.

There has been an avalanche of calls for the evil little creature Cressida Dick to resign, but of course, she wont, and has too much dirt on Boris for him to sack her.

The sick meme shared by Met Police officers after Sarah Everard’s murder.

So for the last 13 years the Met Police have been pointing me out to thousands of security guards and non-security staff such as cashiers in shops, restaurants, pubs etc, and asking their colleagues in 13 different countries to do the same, in the knowledge that I have suffered from paranoid schizophrenia. They have gone out of their way to ensure that I do not know whether this is really happening or not, or just a paranoid delusion. These thousands of security guards and members of the public are incited to mock me for ‘not liking to be looked at’.

I don’t know exactly why they are doing this, as stated above, they have never admitted they are doing this, and in fact denied it. But it appears to be linked to my behaviour when I was out of my mind with a mental illness 13 years ago, during a mental health relapse that they were to a large part responsible for, likely deliberately. If I did break the law at that time, I would imagine that I would not have legal ‘Mens Rea’ in a court of law.

At the same time, they employ an obvious psychopath linked to several flashing incidents, who was known to enjoy brutal pornography and was nicknamed ‘the rapist’ by his previous police colleagues. Despite the fact that he goes on to use his police uniform and arrest warrant card to kidnap, rape, and murder a young woman, the head of the Met Police refuses (again) to resign, despite it being just the latest in a number of shocking scandals that she has been involved in.

Don’t think for a moment that – in the words of the evil creature Dick – that Wayne Couzens was simply a ‘bad un’. He was just an average Met Police officer. You could say he was the archetypal 21st century Met officer. What kind of inhuman creatures gaslight a paranoid schizophrenic in 15 different countries for 13 years, with no intention on their part of ever stopping, and laugh about it in front of the victim almost every time they pass him in their pig wagons? What kind of psychopathic subhumans not only involve literally thousands of members of the public in this – the extra-judicial torture of a mentally disabled individual – but encourage those members of the public to sadistically make the victim say thank you to them for it?

Owain Richards and Helen Harper are the police commanders for Central West (London) which covers Westminster, Hammersmith & Fulham, and Kensington & Chelsea. Both face life in prison under the Criminal Justice Act of 1988. According to the provisions of the act, a public official – such as a member of the police – who commits the offence of psychological torture, shall be liable to a life term custodial prison sentence.

This week I had one of the roughest and most painful days I’ve experienced since my illegal torture at the hands of the Met Police began at least 13 years ago.

It began peacefully enough. I was sitting outside a Cafe Nero on Lillie Road, Earls Court. I wouldn’t say I was ‘chilling’. I had been back in London for 2 weeks, finally able to visit my elderly mother who had just recovered from a bout of cancer, for the first time in 10 months. I was starting to feel a little unsettled after realizing during the course of my two weeks back in London, that the Met Police were still pointing me out to security guards and even non-security staff. However, aside from my experience in Marks & Spencers High Street Ken, those security guards had appeared to be acting a little restrained and circumspect. Unlike the previous 13 years in 15 different countries, they had apparently been told to stop sadistically craning their neck to look past me, laugh, point me out to non security staff before my very eyes etc. Or so I dared to hope.

As I sat drinking my tea outside Cafe Nero, an attractive young lady stood on the street in front of me, looking at her phone. A police van went past along Lillie Road, and as it did so the male driver and another pig sitting behind him visibly leered at the young woman, who could have been no more than 18 or 19. Luckily, the girl appeared not to see them leering at her. The other two male pigs in the van did not see the woman, or presumably they would have leered too, all four psychopaths likely harbouring the same fantasies of raping and murdering the young woman as their colleague Wayne Couzens did earlier this year.

In the afternoon I walked past Earls Cout tube station. I saw an overweight bald male police officer with a female colleage talking to a homeless couple. I decided to stand watching them for a while, with half-a-mind to take my phone out and record them, but I didn’t. After a minute or so, with the police officer apparently not having noticed me standing there, a pretty girl walked past them on her way to the tube station, who must have been certainly no more than 14 or 15. As she did so, the fat pig turned his head and briefly, but visibly leered at her butt. He then noticed me standing there. His face contorted into rage, and immediately made a theatrical gesture of looking at his watch, before resuming talking to the junkies. Unfortunately, I did not make a note of his identification number, although I’ll certainly recognize him next time I see him and will definiately record it and publish it here.

Later in the afternoon I went into the Waitrose store at the junction of Fulham Road and Fulham North End Road. I had made a complaint about their TSS security staff there recently. It was at least replied to, with the customer care person saying that they ‘could not comment futher’, but that my complaint had been passed to the ‘relevant’ people. This was my 3rd or 4th visit since my return 2 weeks ago.

As stated above, it appears that the security guards had at least been told not to so clearly and sadistically torment me when they saw me. It seemed that the TSS security guards at the store were struggling a little with that request, their little peanut brains still trying to work out why ‘I don’t like them looking at me’.

Soon after I entered the store, I walked part of the way up the second aisle. The black Somali looking TSS Ricky Gardezi security guard moved to cover me and positioned himself looking up at this same aisle. I noticed there was a young woman, or rather a girl of maybe 16 or 17 wearing a pair of the skimpiest shorts that I have ever seen, which didn’t even cover her derriere. The Somali TSS security guard seemed to be very interested in this, as when I walked to another aisle, he appeared to think about following me, but then shuffled back to his spot, evidently deciding that staring at this young girl was even more of a turn on for him than sadistically gaslighting into suicide or complete insanity a mentally disabled member of the public.

Ten minutes later, I carried my shopping to the self-service check out till. I asked the overweight female line manager for a bag – and apparently a lesbian – was seemingly as excited and flustered by the young girl’s presence as the TSS security guard. Before she had even handed it to me she practically shouted at me – ‘you’re welcome!’, and resumed staring at the young girl’s exposed butt cheeks.

I then needed to go into Boots the Chemist in Fulham Broadway shopping center. This was the first time I had been in there since last year, when the TSS Total Security Services guard was intimidating me to the point of being unable to collect my prescriptions from my cancer stricken mother. The store manager is ‘Rabia Bennett‘, who I intend to refer a complaint about to the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC).

I had walked past that Boots a couple of times in the previous two weeks. I had noticed that a different TSS security guard was there. Perhaps my complaint had been acted upon, I had vainly hoped. Perhaps the old security guard was sacked, and I haven’t been pointed out to this new one, or at least he wouldn’t follow me around the store smirking while gaslighting me. Some hope.

He did exactly that.

I almost lost it. This was indeed the worst I’ve felt for over a decade. The realization that this has now gone on for almost one and a 1/2 decades, that all the things I’ve tried, from complaining to store managers, to contacting anti-torture charities, and now to publishing my experiences here and even pointing out that the police officers responsible ought to be going to prison for life under the Criminal Justice Act of 1988 – nothing, nothing at all, seems to change anything. I will continue to be pointed out to not only security staff, but cashiers and the like, in shops and other places across Europe for the rest of my life. It will never be admitted to me that this is happening and it will be denied implicitly or explicitly as it has been for the last 13 years. And it will never stop until this goes to court and some of the pigs at the top finally go to prison for the rest of their lives.

What Can I Do Now?

What are the options left open to me? What can I do in the next few months to retain a grip on sanity and the belief that I still do have options left open to me?

• I can finally send a letter to Greg Hands MP for Fulham and Chelsea.
• I can report the store manager for Boots at Fulham Broadway – Rabia Bennett – to the General Pharmaceutical Council.
• I can write a letter to the British ambassador to the country in which I reside in.
• I can seek help and advice from a non-governmental organization in the country in which I reside which provides legal advice for foreigners.

***Update – several days later I returned to the same Waitrose store at the junction of Fulham Road and Fulham North End Road. The security guard very aggressively glared at me with his hands folded for several seconds. I met his gaze, almost disbelievingly (after my experience the week before I had sent another complaint to Waitrose Customer Care). He continued to stare at me menacingly. I took my smartphone out of my pocket to quickly take a photo of him, and as I did so he moved his head to one side so he was looking past me, although he had the exact same intense look on his face as when he was staring at me for half-a-minute.

It occurs to me that the reader may be thinking that I’m one of these guys you see on YouTube who goes around pointing cameras at security guards in the name of ‘freedom of photography’ rights or some such, and inevitably get a reaction out of them. No. I’ve been pointed out for the last 13 years to not only thousands of security guards in 15 or so countries in Europe (everywhere I’ve travelled in the last 13 years), but also to thousands of cashiers etc, in the knowledge that I have suffered from a devastating mental illness in the past. As with Waitrose Customer Care, it has never been admitted that any of this is happening to me, and frequently denied, sometimes to my very face. Aside from a brief spell near the start 13 years ago using a hidden camera to record these experiences, I only recently started, occasionally, trying to film these security guards to prove that was happening.

Likewise, I do not go round beating up or shouting at security guards. Unlike 90% of males I would imagine if put in my situation for 13 years, and 99.9% of male schizophrenics, I have never once lost it to that point, although I have come close to being physically assaulted by secuity guards on a number of occasions, for example just for asking to speak to the manager of a store. The occasion in Waitrose last week, was about as bad as it gets, as on leaving the store I said – ‘you’re welcome’ to the security guard as I left the store, just as a security guard had said the same to me mockingly as I left the store on one occasion a couple of years ago.

Last summer I visited the Marks and Spencer store in High Street Kensington for the first time in at least 6 or 7 years. I used to live in that area for half-a-decade, and very occasionally visited that branch maybe less than a dozen times in total. Nothing of any note that I can remember ever took place during those visits, although like every other M & S in London, I had evidently been pointed out to the security guards, who would sadistically let me ‘know’ the fact.

Yet on that visit last summer, as I walked around the food counter, a female member of staff, who appeared to be the line manager, visibly pointed me out to another member of staff, her face contorted in rage. As I walked past the tills a few minutes later, a large black female cashier craned her neck to look at me.

I visited again several days later, and although the staff appeared to recognize me again, they seemed to be making it less obvious and aggressive.

This summer, having been able to return to the UK and London for the first time in 10 months I again visited the branch. This time, I needed to go to the clothes department to get some socks and underwear, which I did. A large black female cashier served me, and as I walked away after paying for my goods, said sarcastically and loudly – ‘you’re welcome’ (I had thanked her politely after being served). I walked down to the food section in the basement to buy some ready meals. As I entered, what appeared to be the store manager (who is a James Weston) and a number of his staff were standing talking together. The man who appeared to be the manager clearly seemed to recognize me, and looked shiftily to his colleagues and then back at me. A quick Google check confirmed that it was indeed James Weston, store manager for Marks & Spencer High Street Kensington branch.

Five minutes later, Mr James Weston passed me again, on his own, and I agrain pointed my smartphone at him to take a picture. He looked at me with a poor attempt to fein ignorance as to why I might be pointing my smartphone at him. Still gaslighting.

Several days later, I visited the branch again to buy more socks and a few other items such as a cup for my hotel room kettle. In the home section, the large middle-aged European woman cashier gave me the same look of recognition. She served me very oddly, almost with disgust, and after handing my reciept did not say anything, only gave me a look of very visible disgust. In the men’s clothing floor, the cashier in my queue swapped places with another cashier after appearing to recognize me. That cashier served me politely.

On both visits, the security guard appeared to recognize me and looked rather shame faced.

All the above and more is also happening to me in the Marks and Spencers branch of the European city in which I currently live. I have made a number of complaints to Marks and Spencer (UK) who claimed they telephoned the manager of that branch and was told that they ‘had no knowledge of me’. Despite this, both the security guards and the managers continued to make a point of standing watching me every time I was served (and often walking away smirking as soon as I’d been served). Cashiers at that branch (and others) have also been aggressive with me, and I was almost physically assaulted by a Marks and Spencers security guard both in the store and outside on the street.

Again, as you can read from all my other posts on this site, similar behavior happens at hundreds of other shops, shopping centers and even sometimes in restaurants, in 13 different countries and over nearly 15 years now.

In the UK, torture is illegal in both civil and common law and carries a potential life tariff imprisonment. As per the Criminal Justice Act of 1988, a public official such as a police officer committing the act of psychological torture will be subject to life term imprisonment upon conviction.

Last summer, on the same UK trip in which I visited Hastings and Eastbourne, I spent one day in Brighton.

I’ve been to this city many times over the last couple of decades, and regularly visit the Chrchill Square shopping center to have something to eat or shop in the WH Smiths. Like everywhere else, the staff there have been mocking my allegations of torture for most of those years. When eating in the food courtyard, or whenever I go into a shop with a security guard, a security guard will stand watching me with a smirk on his face, and whenever I look over at him, theatrically look upward etc. One middle-aged female guard there is particularly sadistic, and on several occasions came out of the center while I was sitting outside by the entrance, looked me up and down theatrically, then went back in smirking or laughing. (Update August 2023 – she still is working there, and I managed to take a photograph of it).

I have made several complaints to Churchill Square (via their online form) and each time I did not receive a reply. I once asked the visitor information desk who their security firm is, and they refused to tell me. It is G4S – the same company which delibrately tried to run me over (I literally had to jump out of the way) in the Czech city of Brno a decade or so ago.

On this occasion, a distinctive grey haired (possibly) male individual, who has worked there for several years, and as with the other staff, and thousands of security guards across Europe for 15 years, mocked my allegations of torture as myself ‘not liking to be looked at’, was on duty. And I had one of the most disturbing experiences of all of these years with a security guard.

Three times during this visit of around an hour, this individual made a very theatrical point of looking at very young girls, and then looking at his or her watch. This happened on three separate occasions in that hour as I passed him, each time with (I think) different girls. On the third occasion, two girls who looked about 12 or 13, very much noticed it and were clearly very much creeped out by it.

I later managed to take a photo of him or her. I will publish it here later. (Update August 2023 – he or she does not appear to work at the Churchill Square center anymore).

Given the particular sadism of security guards in Brighton, it’s no surprise to me that the infamous ‘Brighton Cat Killer‘ worked as a security guard.

This has been a rough week or two. It should have been cathartic to see the Met Police denounced by a public inquiry as ‘rotten to the core’. It should have been life affirming to see the evil little creature Cressida Dick squirm and apologize in front of the nation’s media after yet another scandal that she was central too. But she didn’t really do either of those things. She knows that, somehow, her job is safe. She was responsible for the excecution of Jean Charles de Menezes, with the Met then deliberately putting forward lies about Menezes, such as he was a rapist and an illegal immigrant, in order to take the heat off themselves. She had a major hand in ‘Operation Midland‘ which led to a war hero in his 80’s having his home raided at 5 in the morning by a squad of pigs on the word of an obvious paedophile fantasist. And now an official inquiry has found that she blocked and delayed access to evidence in a previous inquiry into the decades old cover up of the brutal axe murder of journalist Daniel Morgan, who at the time was about to release details of major Met police corruption.

What chance do I have? Nothing will happen to Cressida Dick or the Met…again. She, and they, are completely unaccountable, completely without any shame or decency. They appear to exist in their own bubble that is completely immune to what anybody outside of it thinks about those inside.

In the last 2 or 3 weeks, lockdown has ended in the European country I am currently living in. Spending most of my time indoors and working, and going out only to exercise, was generally good for my mental health. Now I’m back to the old routine. Going into shops and seeing that the security guard clearly recognizes me, staff serving me strangely in cafes etc I took a weekend break to a small town I’d only ever been to the day before. I sat down in a shopping center cafe to enjoy a smoothie, and almost immediately two security guards appeared directly in my line of vision, glancing at me, and when I looked back suspiciously at them, immediately began the theatrical craning of their necks to look past me etc.

The most upsetting incident though was a few days ago when I was waiting to board a metro train at the end of the platform. As the train pulled in, the driver clearly appeared to recognize me and looked wide eyed almost with fear. This is the second time (with a different driver) that has happened in the last few weeks. The thing is, on that same line, in the same direction, a couple of years ago as I tried to board the train, I ‘slipped’ and fell between the platform and the carriage, with one foot landing heavily on the track, and both legs trapped. I was pulled to safety by a passanger, and the driver somehow did not see what was going on, or at least the train pulled away as normal with seconds before my legs would have ripped off. I sat dazed and bloodied on the platform for half-an-hour, and nobody came to my aid, passengers or staff. Moments before it happened, as I was standing on the escalator going down to the platform, a man came and stood behind me to my left, although there was plenty of room for him to pass and we were just about the only people on the escalator. Disturbed by this, when I got down to the platform I tried to walk quickly to the other end to shake him off. It was either this that caused me to ‘slip’ as I was getting on, or he pushed me. As I sat on the platform dazed after being pulled to safety, the passanger who saved my life was screaming at me and pointing to go upstairs. I couldn’t understand what he was saying. Perhaps he was saying I would get help upstairs, or perhaps he was saying the guy who pushed me had fled.

In the near 15 years of gaslighting illegal psychological torture by the police in the UK, and through their instructions, thousands of security guards across the UK and Europe, Ricky Gardezi’s TSS Total Security Services security guards have been among the very worst and most sadistic. Today I learnt that they also supply the security guards for Waitrose. The security guards in Waitrose, at multiple branches in London and elsewhere, have also behaved in the same way to me as hundreds or thousands of security guards in countless shops and shopping centers in the UK and Europe – theatrically demonstrating they recognize me, theatrically craning their necks to look past me whilst standing watching me as I check out, clenching their fists at me, pointing me out to cashiers and other non-security staff etc. On one visit to the Fulham Waitrose last summer, the security guard there laughed as I walked past him on the way out and said – ‘you’re welcome’ at me.

Today I sent the following request to Waitrose customer care, via their online form :

Hi, I believe I have been the victim of serious crime by the security company that supplies your security guards at your Fulham branch. Can you please tell me the name of the security firm that you employ there? If you refuse to do so, I will submit a formal Freedom Of Information request. Cheers.

I received the following reply within a few hours :

Good Evening

The company is Total Security Services that we use, but is there anything that I can help with?

Kind regards

I have sent the following reply :

Hi,

for nearly 15 years the metropolitan police have been pointing me out to hundreds of security guards not only in the UK, but wherever I travel in Europe. They have done this in the knowledge that I suffered from paranoid schizophrenia when I was a young man. It has never been admitted to me that this is happening (that I have been pointed out to security guards), and in fact it has been denied multiple times. The security company Total Security Services has been the very worst for the behavior of their security guards, primarily in Boots pharmacy (multiple branches across the UK). Now I learn that they also provide the security guards for Waitrose. As regards their security guards in your Fulham branch, I only visit the UK a few weeks a year to visit my elderly mother in Fulham. I very occasionally shop in your branch there. Just as in hundreds of other shops across the UK and Europe, the security guards at your store make a very determined point of demonstrating that they recognize me, and clearly at the encouragement of the Met police, taunt me by theatrically indicating that they are ‘not looking at me’. On one visit last summer to your store, the black male security guard made a point of laughing as I approached the exit and said clearly ‘you’re welcome’ to me.

I had similar behavior from your security guards in your Clapham Junction (St John’s Hill) branch for a number of years when I lived in that area. I made several complaints to customer care, and it was never admitted that I had been pointed out to security there, although subsequently I was almost physically assaulted by one of the security guards, presumably as a result of my complaint.

This deliberate gaslighting on the part of the Met police, is very much illegal in the UK (and elsewhere), in the case of the UK under the Criminal Justice Act of 1988, which explicitly prohibits psychological torture committed by a public official such as a police officer – an offence which carries a lifetime custodial prison sentence.

I have now substantial video and audio evidence stretching over a decade, that what I have described above, has and is continuing to happen to me. I intend to write a letter to Greg Hands, the Member of Parliament for Chelsea and Fulham, in the coming weeks.

I have absolutely no expectation that you can help me with anything. I am, however, confident that a number of senior Met officers will eventually go to prison for what they have and are continuing to do to me, and I would suggest that given that your company has played a role in my torture by the Met police for over a decade, you do at this point seek to limit your legal liabilities (i.e. over 10 years after my first complaint to Waitrose customer care, you do now stop allowing the Met police to torture a mentally disabled member of the public via your TSS security guards in multiple of your branches and in particular at your Fulham branch).
