I recently detailed further abuse and aggression at Eastbourne rail station. I’ve also made two visits to Hastings this year, and while I haven’t received quite the same aggression from the train station staff there, their behaviour has been odd, although not initially.
In February I spent a week there, and passed through the station a few times. There was nothing unusual or anything about the staff behaviour to even suspect that I had been pointed out to them. But on one occasion as I passed through, there were three police officers standing there for whatever reason. All three looked decidedly uncomfortable when they saw me. From that point on, the staff did start acting strangely, and on a couple of occasions aggressively. I don’t know if the police pointed me out that day or said something to the staff, or among themselves that the staff overheard, or if a staff member may simply have noticed the odd reaction of the police as I passed them.
One very strange incident took place invoving a black male staff member at the station. However, on my second visit, he ignored me whenever I saw him, so I will not detail it here, unless something changes on a future visit to Hastings.
More disturbing was my second visit to Hastings, although this time it was not the rail station staff (who all pretty much ignored me). Rather, it was the behaviour of the police themselves.
On my first or second day, I was passing through Hastings center and two male police officers passed me. They appeared to recognize me, and as I passed them, I’m sure I heard one of them call me an ‘arsehole’. 20 minutes or so later, I passed them again, and this time one of them – an Asian male – made an exaggerated show of looking suspiciously at me, then turned to his colleague and angrily said something to him, then looked back at me again.
Over the last 17 years of this, in a dozen different countries, I’ve experienced this at least a thousand times from both police and security guards. They appear to be trying to ‘tell me something’ (me, a paraonid schizophrenic). I suspect they are trying to claim that the reason I am ‘being looked at’ is because I ‘attract attention’. In other words, the reason why I’ve been apparently subjected to closer scrutiny in 12 different countries for nearly 20 years than ISIS terrorists and cartel bosses and the like, pointed out to hundreds of security guards and even shop staff who abuse, mock, and intimidate me, whilst throughout those two decades being gaslighted into believing it’s all a delusion existing inside of my head, is because….. I get slightly agitated sometimes at all of this.
Well, that’s cleared that up then! After 17 years, I finally ‘know’!!!!
According to the provisions relating to torture (including psychological torture) in the Crimanal Justice Act of 1988, a public official such as a member of the police who is convicted of the offence of torture faces a life sentence. He or she could also face life imprisonment for misconduct in public office. He or she could also face conspiracy to torture charges, as well as aggravated harassment charges. The police could also be sued for multiple serious breaches of the European Human Rights Act.
The Chief of Sussex Police is Jo Shiner. The Chief Constable for Hastings is Simon Yates.
Several times I sat outside Costa Coffee or Cafe Nero, enjoying the warm weather. Trying to relax, trying to breathe in the sea air, trying to live in the moment just briefly, trying to forget this 17+ year ‘delusion’, trying to forget my mother’s slow and painful cancer death, trying to forget my brother’s painful cancer death just several months ago. On each occasion a male and female police officer happened to stand in the center next to their mobile ‘police station’. Each time, they repeatedly looked at their watches and then sadistically grinned whilst looking in my direction or theatrically ‘looking past me’. On one occasion, the male and female officers were talking to a tattooed man who appeared to be a member of the public. As I finished my drink and walked away in the opposite direction, I heard somebody shout – “what do you think you’re doing?”.
In 2025, Hastings police team included:
District Commander Simon Yates,
Chief Inspector Matt Chapman,
Inspector Lee Torbet,
Sergeant Dave Gibbins-Jones,
PCSO John Tucker,
PCSO John Tytherleigh,
PCSO Liam Janman,
PCSO Natasha Slow,
PCSO Tom Clare
If the police really have been doing this for 20 years – pointing me out to not only their colleagues in every police force in the UK and Europe, but to security guards, shop staff, airline cabin staff etc, and done in a manner that leads them all to constantly behave in the same mocking, intimidating, or threatening way, in the knowledge that I have suffered from paranoid schizophrenia in the past, and deliberately leaving me uncertain as to whether ANY of it is real or entirely in my head – then scores of them could face life imprisonment under the Criminal Justice Act of 1988, which prohibits (psychological) torture or cruel and inhuman punishment. Not to mention convictions for misconduct in public office, stalking, aggravated harassment, and even disability hate crime.
According to legal advice I have received, given the sheer number of members of the public they appear to have involved directly in this over two decades, there could even be case for prosecuting them for crimes against humanity.
