Broadway Homelessness and Support

Broadway Homelessness and Support, a premier homelessness organisation in London, has been trying to obtain Declan's birth certificate from Dublin for over a year (since August 2009) and they have now confirmed that they are going to try again for the third time - on 18 June 2008 we were robbed of all our money and documents, including birth certificates, passports, academic qualifications and references, in the Dellow Day Centre of the Providence Row Charity run by the RC Sisters of Mercy (see blog of 4 September Sisters of Mercy revisited - our first YouTube video). Declan has repeatedly asked Broadway to request my birth certificate from Madrid but they have yet to agree to do so. This afternoon Declan upped the ante with this email to the organisation - copied to just about everyone! - with zero effect (click to enlarge):



The then head of the Catholic Church in England and Wales, Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor, in his capacity as Archbishop of Westminster, was informed of the robbery in the Dellow Centre and the fact that the nuns had refused to provide the police with CCTV coverage of it (see blog of 4 July 2008 Second Request for Priority to the European Court). The police got back to Declan in writing a year later (see below). But instead of stating that they closed the case because the nuns wouldn't provide them with the CCTV footage they needed, they go and write that there was not enough evidence! If Declan hadn't emailed the chief executive of Providence Row at the time of the robbery - her office is almost next to the canteen where the robbery took place - the point could be made now that maybe the robbery never even happened...





By the way, in the video contained in the blog of 3 September I explain that we came to England from Dublin in 2003 and for two years attempted to start a network of those abused by church with our own money and how the opposition we encountered was so great that we had no choice but to go on benefits in 2005. Of course, a year later we were forced to the street (see previous blog). But didn't I say we encountered tremendous opposition?

This short clip exposes how the police, the Catholic church and the state conspired to cover up a priest's suspected role in one of the worst atrocities of the Northern Ireland Troubles.
