Property Warrant: Open Letter to the Prime Minister

Our live-in landlady, human rights activist Belinda McKenzie, has threatened us in writing with physical removal from our flat (she wrote on 6 January, "I may have to evict you with the help of my Polish builder") and removal of all services from tomorrow. We have been taking these threats extremely seriously and one of us is now always in the flat. Belinda's solicitors, Kidd Rapinet, have also served us with a notice requiring possession of the flat by 26 March - the particular notice landlords use when they have no complaints about their tenants but still want them out. If we have nowhere to go, then the solicitors will go to the courts and the bailiffs will remove us.

MI5 whistleblower David Shayler lived for a couple of years in one of the rooms below us, until 2007 more or less; it is unfortunate that Shayler then declared he was the Messiah, became a squatter and was ridiculed in the press for changing his name to Delores Kane. This is Declan's letter this afternoon to Prime Minister David Cameron enquiring if a warrant has been obtained for this property, which the Home Office will neither confirm nor deny:

Belinda is not your usual 60+ landlady. I cannot list all the causes she is involved in, there are so many (see blog of 14 January for a photograph of Belinda speaking against child abuse in Trafalgar Square last June). She is active in groups dealing with issues as far-ranging as abuse in the church and anti-war activism, and has been involved with the Iranian community for more than 20 years; she is even described as a "noted philanthropist". Among her many causes, there is 9/11 itself: this is a popular YouTube video of a guy called Charlie Veitch and Belinda going at it recently. Small world! This is the same guy who in 2009 went to the trouble of inviting Shayler for dinner so he could make a YouTube video of him talking about being the Messiah.

Below is a video about the David Shayler affair the BBC's Panorama produced in 1998. A New Statesman article dated 11 September 2006 featuring Belinda and Shayler gives no indication that he believed he was the Messiah at that time; whilst a Daily Mail interview with Shayler explicitly shows he believed himself to be Jesus by June 2007. A part of his mind is well gone.... In 2009, he was photographed by the Daily Mail being unceremoniously evicted from a farmhouse by the bailiffs and police.

According to BBC Panorama, Shayler "caused the biggest crisis of official secrecy since the spy catcher affair". In 2002, he was jailed for seven weeks for breaking the Official Secrets Act.

Unbelievable ... no internet again!

No sooner had Declan returned from the High Court after lodging the application above to have his case against Haringey Council reopened due to the sabotage of our post than we lost access to the internet. In fact every day for the last week we have lost home connectivity to the internet, some days multiple times - neutralized MI5 whistleblower David Shayler lived for a couple of years in one of the rooms below us, until 2007 more or less.

Given the opposition, we are creating an N4CM project for Kickstarter to raise funds to avoid being put back to the street. Our chairman Dr Stephen Mumford not only funds the N4CM website but has agreed to be our American account holder for Kickstarter. If Kickstarter rejects the project, we will run it on the N4CM website. This morning those charged with thwarting our efforts even deleted a graphic I uploaded to my account with TinyPic for the previous blog (ie, an email Declan received from Haringey Borough Commander Det Chief Supt Sandra Looby concerning our live-in landlady's written threat to have us physically removed from our flat with the help of her Polish builder):
The email is back now. Last night Twitter advised me to change my password because the N4CM Twitter account had been compromised:

We must be doing something right!

Am I now going to lose my Jobseeker's Allowance?

Belinda McKenzie is a human rights activist and our live-in landlady. On Thursday we had the police in our flat following Belinda's written threat to withdraw all our services from 26 January and have us physically removed from our (roof) flat with the help of her Polish builder (crime reference no: 2800668/12). Declan has just received this email of reply from Haringey Borough Commander Sandra Looby on the matter:

This is the extract from the email we received from Belinda last night, in which she clarifies that her Polish builder won't beat us up, he will just dismantle our bathroom and kitchen and help us pack our bags:

Declan has had to request separate 'sign on' times from the manager of our jobcentre, Highgate Jobcentre Plus, so that one of us can be in the flat from now on. The manager, Clodagh Hargadon, would only agree to split us on 26 January, meaning I may be forced off Jobseeker's Allowance and we will have to survive on almost nothing. This is the Polish builder who is going to help me pack my bags:

I have never heard of anyone into so many issues as Belinda. She has even been involved with the Iranian community here in London for more than 20 years. And of course she had MI5 whistleblower David Shayler living for a couple of years in one of the rooms below us, until 2007 more or less. It is unfortunate that Shayler then declared that he was the Messiah, became a squatter and was ridiculed in the press for changing his name to Delores Kane (see previous blog for some stunning photos of Shayler).

Open Letter to the Home Secretary on our live-in landlady's threat to have us physically removed from our flat

Unbelievable! Not only has our live-in landlady, human rights activist Belinda McKenzie, threatened us in writing with physical removal from our flat and the termination of all our services on 26 January, but this afternoon we lost our wireless internet connection to the router in the room below us for the umpteenth time. Declan had intended waiting two weeks for his Open Letter to the Rt Hon Theresa May MP, Home Secretary (see previous blog), but has decided to send it now before things get any rougher:

Below is MI5 whistleblower David Shayler. As Declan points out in his letter to the Home Secretary, he lived for a couple of years in one of the rooms below us, until 2007 more or less. By around 2007, he had been successfully neutralised: he declared himself to be Jesus, became a squatter and changed his name to Delores Kane. A New Statesman article dated 11 September 2006 featuring Belinda and Shayler gives no indication that he believed he was the Messiah at that time; whilst a Daily Mail interview with Shayler explicitly shows that he believed himself to be Jesus by June 2007.

Our landlady threatens us in writing with physical removal from our flat by her Polish builder

Last night Declan called into Holloway Police Station to press charges against our live-in landlady, human rights activist Belinda McKenzie, for threatening us in writing with physical assault. According to Constable Harvey (NI116), there is no threat in Belinda writing "I may have to evict you with the help of my Polish builder". We would find this less concerning had not MI5 whistleblower David Shayler lived in one of the rooms below us for a couple of years, until 2007 more or less (see previous blog for a stunning photo of Shayler aka Delores Kane in a squat).

Declan has written to our MP, Equalities Minister Lynne Featherstone, to request that she writes to Theresa May, Home Secretary, about his concerns. If she is unwilling to so, Declan will write an Open Letter to May on 23 January, three days before Belinda has threatened to remove all services from us. Declan's e-letter to Featherstone tonight is archived here.

Witness statement of Declan Heavey at Holloway Police Station on 6 January 2012 at 9.00pm

I wish to report my live-in landlady Belinda McKenzie of 83 Priory Gardens, Highgate, London N6 5QU for her written threat of today's date to have my wife and me physically removed from our (roof) flat with the help of her Polish builder, a criminal offence. I wish to press charges and request that this matter be investigated by the Metropolitan Police with the utmost urgency.

I intend filing a case in the Central London County Court against Ms McKenzie for harassment, intentional infliction of distress and denial of appropriate services. She has threatened the removal of all services by refusing to accept any rent from us from the 26th of this month: our tenancy agreement states that we pay rent “inclusive of all extraneous charges save telephone line”.

I will be pointing out in court papers that we live in the same house MI5 whistleblower David Shayler lived in for a couple of years, until 2007 more or less. (It is indeed unfortunate that Mr Shayler then declared that he was the Messiah, became a squatter and was ridiculed in the press for changing his name to Delores Kane.)


This was my email to Belinda on Thursday that provoked her written threat (all I did was explain why I think a judge may be more sympathetic and therefore might decide not to grant her an eviction notice):

Belinda is not your usual 60+ landlady. Apart from some of the activities I list in the previous blog, she is also described as a noted philanthropist. Frankly, I have never met anyone who has a hand on so many issues; in addition to those listed in the previous blog, there's 7/7, 9/11 - you name it!

Agenda to put us back to the street?

Of the last five blogs I have posted, two of them have been about our home internet access. Since 3 November we (Declan and I) have either had our internet connection cut or have had bandwidth problems ranging from just about being able to go about our business to being 'squeezed' to death. We don't know what is going on because our live-in landlady, human rights activist Belinda McKenzie (see photo below), told me before Christmas that she had access to the internet and was aware we had none. We have no idea what we are looking at for internet access over the next 2/3 weeks, notwithstanding Belinda's backdated notice for us to vacate our flat by 26 January. This evening I emailed Belinda to let her know that it will not be possible for us to vacate in as little as 3 weeks time:

As Declan points out in paragraph 10 of his application to the European Court of Human Rights concerning the interception of our communications and directed surveillance, we are also not immune to having our bandwidths 'squeezed' in public libraries including in the British Library, the no.1 library in the UK. Declan and I are taking all this extremely seriously and remain totally focused on our N4CM Survival Appeal Pledge Scheme (for more about this scheme, see blog of 30 November I am prevented from sharing new articles on Facebook).

Belinda is not your usual landlord: apart from being involved in a variety of causes from abuse in the church to involvement in the anti-war movement and the Iranian community for more than 20 years, she had MI5 whistleblower David Shayler living in one of the rooms below us for a couple of years, until 2007 more or less. According to the BBC, Shayler "caused the biggest crisis of official secrecy since the spy catcher affair"; in 2002, he was jailed for seven weeks for breaking the Official Secrets Act. By around 2007, he had been successfully neutralised: he changed his name to Delores Kane, declared himself to be Jesus, and became a squatter. A New Statesman article dated 11 September 2006 featuring Belinda and Shayler gives no indication that he believed he was the Messiah at that time; whilst a Daily Mail interview with Shayler explicitly shows that he believed himself to be Jesus by June 2007. This photograph comes from the Daily Mail (Shayler is the one sitting on the chair):

When we lost our television reception before Christmas (it's back now), Belinda told me we will “get rid” of her house soon.
