This an urgent message about one of your employees by the name of Joe Hooper who is residing at 16A Alma Grove London SE1 5PY with his partner Deborah Agnes Gilchrist. Because Mr Hooper acted like a gentleman with respect for me from the time he moved here, until 2022 when he joined his partner in the hate crimes against me and my elderly husband. I believe in giving everyone a chance to redeem themselves. Before I go public, I am giving his employers the opprtunity to safeguard their company from being associated with someone who has changed beyond recognition. Therefore, I would advise someone to talk to Mr Hooper and get back to me. Thanks in advance. https://mervelee.com/2024/12/26/without-prejudice-mervelee-myers-see-youtube-souflo-post-jamaican-kill-in-usa-loud-music-k05ec530-7-march-2025-end-gender-based-violence-by-joe-hooper-alma-grove-hate-mobs-housing-for-
I am reporting about the Gross Professional Misconduct on the 5th December 2024 when I arrived for the appointment to have my Medical Review about my Blood Test and what transpires afer. This must be considered part of the Complaints I am intending making and going PUBLIC to shame the NHS into not ever treating another human being the way Mervelee Myers and ARNOLD EBENEZER TOMLINSON were/are being treated from the first nervous breakdown at Kings College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust Mapother House Day Nursery 2003-2008. Now a pensioner who raised concerns about witness my husband sliding out of bed, I was manhandled by the RACIST security Nurse Betty called. Gayle Lewis took 6 months to respond to my concerns. Then a Dr Phil Gregory appeared trying to entrap me with RESPIREDONE. I was called to the surgery and refused to take the medication because I discussed the matter over the phone when Dr Gregory called me from a private number sounding like Richard Harty which was a trigger for me. He visited my home on 21st November unannounced with the Nurse. Now a disabled pensioner do not have a GP again. Nye Bevan who founded the NHS in 1954 must be turning in his grave. Looking at what the NHS has become is a CRYING SHAME and DISGRACE in 2024 in the Mother Country. Queen Camilla has been tainted by Housing For Women and the book is coming for International Women’s Day and husband’s DOB after the kangaroo court on 7 March 2025…
I WAS KICKED OUT ON 5TH DECEMBER WHEN I ATTENDED FOR MY DIABETES REVIEW. THIS IS A CRYNG SHAME ON THE NHS FOUNDED BY NYE BEVAN IN 1948. I arrived at the Surgery on the 5th December for the appointment arranged for me for my Diabetes review. I tried signing in and after a few attempts went to speak to someone at Reception who asked if I was sure I have an appointed. She checked and said I was an INACTIVE PATIENT. I told her I am a new patient, she went away and came back saying I was no longer registered at the Surgery. I was in excruciating pains because my back was acting up as well as the ASB behaviour from the neighbour and others in my Road. I pleaded with the person to no avail. Another person came out to talk to me. As stated above I keep a “Defensive Practice” so some of the information is on record.
Because of my treatment I decided to give up some of my RIGHTS if it is even that as a DISABLED NHS PENSIONER I can at least get Medical Aid when needed. But to be treated this way by the Surgery because I refused to take the RESPIREDONE that Dr Phil Gregory is forcing me to take after his MEDICAL GASLIGHTING, STALKING me via private number call to my mobile, turning up at my home unannounced with his Nurse. Then getting YouTube to remove my video and Maudsley NHS to write me threatening letter. I would appreciate feedback about this matter. Because this will be used in my RESEARCH about GENDER BASED VIOLENCE. K05EC530 claims that I have an unspecified non-organic psychosis so I am wondering if the Surgery is involved with making this diagnosis. Because I am not aware of this on my Medical Reports before. Is the Surgery also responsible for prescribing any other medication other than the ATROVASTATIN and METFORMIN. I am not aware of any diagnosis of psychosis that may impact on whether I am considered to have or not have litigation and/or wookey capacity. I do not trust the Defendant’s Counsel and would be grateful to know what information from my Medical Report was shared with Dr Gregory or any other individuals or organisation intent on using my MENTAL HEALTH to entrap me with RESPIREDONE to make me unable to function. The question who was looking after my husband who died age 101 years and 1 month on BYRON ward at Kings College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. A word of advice to those trying to destroy me. Refer to Kings College London RADAR-CNS with Dr Faith Matcham for why the Equality Act Assessor will be providing evidence for my book END GENDER BASED VIOLENCE in Housing for Women Property in UK. Queen Camilla has been tainted by H4W involvement in ITV Documentary. Because my husband was traumatised by Ms Gilchrist who was coerced by H4W to target us. I would be grateful if the Surgery could address these concerns ASAP so I can move on 10 years after my MOTHER died with DEMENTIA. Someone has to STAND UP SPEAK OUT about the treatment of WINDRUSH GENERATION. I do copy to safeguard my copyright and intellectual property.
I, MERVELEE MYERS do not need to listen to this, but I must leave comments so the world is prepared for what’s coming next and how I intend to END GENDER BASED VIOLENCE based on the ITV News Queen Camilla Documentary featuring Housing For Women that was allowed to taint the name of the Monarchy. I am saying this because my husband ARNOLD EBENEZER TOMLINSON received his 100 birthday card from the King and Queen and during the time that the documentary was being made my husband and I experienced “Multiple Discrimination” at the hands of the neighbour who was coerced by Housing For Women. Now that my husband is dead my MENTAL capacity is questioned.
I am the victim of HMCTS miscarriages of justice reason I was a participant in Dr Maria Hudson’s research paper for the Policy Studies Institute recommended to ACAS “The Experience of Multiple Discrimination”. I had the first nervous breakdown working at Kings College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust Mapother House Day Nursery.
The second nervous breakdown at http://www.leyf.org.uk after the death of my mother with dementia. I spent the last 10 years having my RIGHTS denied and exhausting the ET/EAT and CCMCC. Only to become the target of those that used my vulnerability of having disabilities against me. Then to my surprise I received a POSSESSION letter from Devonshires Solicitors LLP in July 2023.
I will end by saying the world will be informed about HMCTS CPS CJS SRA BSB IOPC JCIO CCMCC MOPAC HMPPS CLCC DBS relating to K05EC530 because any of the above mentioned that are party to the Systemic Discrimination will be published. I will start with District Judge Beecham whose decision to stick with this case gave me the lifeline to be able to have my voice heard. Because once again I have been sold out by the Legal Representation. In addition I am yet to collect the judgement from Barrister Ryan Clement.

Housing for Women champions female empowerment by providing and promoting affordable homes for women and gender-specific support services.
Since 1934, we have been working to build a more equal society for women, a world where everyone has a safe roof over their head regardless of circumstance, where violence against women is no longer tolerated. Our organisation’s roots go back to the suffragette movement. Housing for Women carries on in the footsteps of these early women’s rights campaigners, working with some of the most marginalised groups in the UK, such as trafficked women, women leaving prison and older women at risk of loneliness and isolation. Empowering women and challenging inequality are at the core of everything we do.
For over 40 years Housing for Women has been supporting women and children in London escaping domestic violence and abuse, empowering women to overcome trauma, rebuild their lives free from fear, and regain their independence.
Founded in 1934, Housing for Women began as an employment bureau, providing informed help and advice to unemployed women looking for work in the 1930s Depression.

Housing for Women’s roots go back to the suffragette movement
Founded in 1934, Housing for Women began as an employment bureau, providing informed help and advice to unemployed women looking for work in the 1930s Depression. The organisation expanded in our early years into providing accommodation, opening our first communal hostel for women in 1937. We later became a registered charity and a registered housing association, acquiring and building accommodation for women with families as well as single working women in London.
One of our earliest properties was gifted to us by the family of the artist and suffragette, Georgina Brackenbury. Previously, the building was used as a safe house for suffragettes fighting for the right to vote and is now home to some of our residents.
The property earned the nickname, ‘Mouse Castle’, from being used to shelter hunger-striking suffragettes following their release from prison under the government’s notorious ‘Cat and Mouse’ Act. Georgina Brackenbury painted a famous painting of Emmeline Pankhurst, a leader of the British suffragette movement, which still hangs in the National Gallery.
Today, empowering women and challenging inequality is still at the core of everything we do. Housing for Women carries on in the footsteps of these early women’s rights campaigners, working with some of the most marginalised groups in the UK, including survivors of abuse, trafficked women and women leaving prison.
Helping women to gain independence has always been important to us, and we remain committed to helping women into work through offering training grants and supporting education and training.

A more detailed history of Housing for Women’s early years can be found in the book A Place of Her Own, published in 1983, which can be read online.

Anti-social behaviour (ASB) can
make life unpleasant and lead to an
increase in serious crimes. It also
causes residents to feel fearful in their
estates and neighbourhoods.
Addressing ASB is time-consuming and
often involves collaboration with agencies
like the Police and Courts to secure legal
outcomes.
Last year, our tenants reported 27 serious
(Category One) cases of ASB to us, along
with noise nuisance issues and aggressive
behaviour. 17 of these cases were closed,
with one tenant rehoused.
Ethel Fosu, Head of Housing, said:
We are committed to ensuring
every resident feels safe and
supported. By addressing
anti-social behaviour, we aim to build
inclusive communities where everyone
can thrive.”
