My university is not grading my work properly; I have Rick Rolled them 4 times

I knew my grades were odd early in the year and I wasn't getting much feedback with each of my essays (I'm talking like 4 pieces of generic feedback at most). I think they might be using AI to correct the essays because the language of the feedback was in American English and had a strange voice to it. In the exam, I also got marked up on questions I only wrote a paragraph for. My friend suggested writing 'potato' in my essays to catch out that they aren't being read. I thought that might be a little on the nose, so instead I looked up the lyrics from various Rick Astley songs and wormed them into sentences or rephrased sentences to incorporate a parallel to the lyrics and then cited Rick Astley. I just got my grades for the last 4 essays back and it has not been commented on in any of them. One of the ones I used was 'never going to let you down'. Any human should have caught it I'm sure.

I brought this up previously on a different education subreddit and was told that I should stay quiet and not be spoiled since the grades I get are high 70s and 80s anyway. This is the UK and I attempted to look up the whistleblowing policy at my school but they only have one for the lecturers, not the students. My friend suggested the students union but I'd rather not physically be on campus with this information just in case. I'm also worried that they might strike back at me more subtly. I'm planning to leave this university after the exams anyway and do Open instead. I would quite like to chuck a (metaphorical) grenade over my shoulder on the way out with this evidence, who should I give it to who won't just bury it?
