Email interception: How many resends before a close colleague gets to read my email to him last Friday?

Our Church and State website has no less than 57 Nobel Laureates on it; for details, see this blog's sidebar under "Church and State" (updated today).

Our local MP (Labour) acknowledged by autoreply this complaint last April about the interception of our email, but hasn't responded to it.

21 April 2019

Dear Ms. Brown,

As my local MP, I am forwarding to you an email I have received this afternoon from a close colleague about his concern that my and my wife's emails are being blocked. I would be most grateful if you could please let me know if you can be of any assistance in correcting the outrageous manipulation of my and my wife's email in undermining our part-time jobs as employees of Network for Church Monitoring.

In April 2010, an American professor wrote to then Minister Lynne Featherstone: "I am truly appalled by the unlawful violation of the Heavey's basic right to send and receive email without interference." An (unsuccessful) application I subsequently made to the Investigatory Powers Tribunal in 2011 has had absolutely no effect, and if anything the situation has gotten substantially worse. For some details, please see my wife's updated blog post here.

I would be most grateful for anything you may be able to do by way of taking measures to correct this gross abuse.

Yours sincerely,

Declan Heavey
Managing Director
Network for Church Monitoring
