Whats It All About Alfie? R v GMC Ex Parte Pal

My apologies for not explaining the detail of the previous posts regarding the last hearing. The old blog had details of the complaints made against me. Essentially, I started to write about Lisa Blakemore Brown and the injustice meted out to her by the British Psychological Society. Penny Mellor had made a formal complaint about Lisa Blakemore Brown.

Mellor then attempted to silence me in my critique of her activities. I then discovered what she had done to David Southall. She told the GMC that I should not be writing critical material of her as she was a high profile campaigner against David Southall.

Silencing normally involves Penny Mellor having a bad hair day and emailing all and sundry. The other tactic is that she instigates multiple complaints from her friends. It is her safety in numbers tactic. This is what she did to the General Medical Council. The GMC with their added sprinkling of vendetta against me got really excited and decided to take up the complaint. The complaints were disclosed to Worcestershire Mental Health Trust my place of work. These included defamatory allegations about me written by Penny Mellor. We must clarify that disclosure would normally occur to about 5 years of employers. Worcestershire Mental Health Trust fired me on the spot. This is confirmed by various internal documentation. I then commenced a pre-action protocol to challenge the decision of the Registrar. During this period the GMC moved the goalposts a number of times. The Register kindly featured the details of the complaint.

In September 2007, the complaints were thrown out as soon as an application went into the courts. We should also state that Anna Neill is the Registrar responsible for taking up these complaints. The discretion required to assess the severity of complaint has no directive at the GMC. This leaves each Registrar to do what they wish. This as well as the potential of human rights violation was allowed to be challenged at a full hearing. It is extremely difficult to obtain permission due to the backlog of the courts. Essentially, we are challenging the manner in which the GMC takes up any old complaint.

Penny Mellor is simply just an example of many people who behave erratically and impulsively using the GMC as an instrument of harassment. We cannot blame Mellor from being dangerously eccentric nor can we blame her past that has clearly had an impact on the manner she behaves. It is also not her fault that her intellectual capacity and poor education continues to plague her lack of insight.

Penny Mellor having failed to silence me went onto the internet to continue her diatribes on a daily basis. As things stand, her complaint against Lisa Blakemore Brown was thrown out, her complaints against me were thrown out. Judge Whitburn had apparently stated that she is a character who maliciously engages in destroying the careers of David Southall and Roy Meadow. I would agree with that assessment.

I must though state that even after all this, the case examiners could not get our URLs right. Despite all this, we have not flinched an inch from featuring the essentials of the David Southall issues.
