Newham Council: Today we learn that Declan lost 32 hours of volunteering earlier this month due to technical issues. We are still left asking, "What's next from the Council?"

Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms formulates what is the core of free speech. "Everyone has the right to freedom of expression." In an important interpretation of this article, the European Court of Human Rights in Handyside v. UK (1976) indicated that this "freedom of expression" should be construed as follows. It "is applicable not only to 'information' or 'ideas' that are favourably received, or regarded as inoffensive, or as a matter of indifference, but also to those that offend, shock or disturb the State or any sector of the population". Such are the demands of that pluralism, tolerance and broadmindedness without which there is no "democratic society" (see Cliteur, 2010).

This morning Declan learnt off-the-record that earlier this month he lost 32 hours of volunteering at Newham Council due to technical issues. Following this email from the Executive Assistant to Althea Loderick, Chief Executive of Newham Council, we are still wondering will Declan next have to complain to the Complaints Department about how his complaint about volunteering at the Council has been handled and whether such a complaint would fall within the remit of the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman.

13 January 2020

Dear Mr Heavey

On behalf of Althea Loderick, Chief Executive (London Borough of Newham) thank you for your email. Your email has been raised as a further complaint so the matter is dealt with in line with the Council's procedures. They will ensure a response is sent to you in due course. Please note the Corporate Director of Adults and Health, Colin Ansell has been advised.

Thank you.

11 January: Volunteering at Newham Council: Declan's complaint about the reduction of the volunteering he has done by 32 hours and more besides



In addition to travel expenses from Limelight Sports, Declan has not been receiving his joining instructions from Newham Council (Active Newham) for events of late; see my post of 27 December 2019, How many months will it take Limelight Sports to reimburse Declan's travel expenses for voluntary work? The Mayor of London-commissioned St Mungo's has made his volunteering at Newham Council highly relevant to court proceedings. Declan only received his travel expenses from Limelight Sports on Monday. This took three months, two reminders and an intervention by the Group's chief executive. He has also been informed by the Council that going forward he will have to wait for up to 90 days for his volunteer hours to be loaded on their system; see my post of 2 January, Newham Council: The Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman will not investigate Declan's complaint of unfair treatment because it pertains to his voluntary work at the Council.

Dear Mr Springer,

Further to Newham Council's complaint response below, I respectfully ask you to uphold my complaint about Active Newham's serious reduction of my volunteer statistics. Please see the screenshots attached. Earlier this week I accessed my Active Newham profile to view the latest opportunities. My volunteer statistics then read: 126:15 Hours Logged; 126:15 Hours Confirmed; 21 Opportunities; 24 Sessions; 16 Thumbs Up. 

Yesterday I was shocked to find that these statistics have been seriously reduced to read: 94 Hours Logged (minus 32:15 hours); 94 Hours Confirmed (minus 32:15 hours); 15 Opportunities (minus 6 opportunities); 18 Sessions (minus 6 sessions); 15 Thumbs Up (minus 1 thumbs up). My way to an Ace volunteer ranking has consequently been reduced from 84% to 63%.

Last week I received the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman's final decision that he has no jurisdiction to investigate my complaint of unfair treatment against Newham Council because the complaint that I will have to wait for up to 90 days for Active Newham to load my volunteer hours on the system is "akin to one relating to employment matters". I believe that the subsequent reduction of the volunteering I have done by more than 32 hours is nothing short of outrageous and appalling.

Yours sincerely,

14 January: Newham Council's CEO Althea Loderick advises her Corporate Director of Adults and Health about Declan's volunteering at the Council. We are reminded of the last time Declan brought the Mayor of London-commissioned St Mungo's to court

Heavey v St Mungo's

What the issue in these court proceedings boils down to is whether the Court will decide that Declan and I should face the prospect of eviction back to the streets (a death threat) rather than St Mungo's take a call to confirm that we are clients of theirs, and that such a position is not harsh, unjust and unreasonable.

Our need for this support continues to escalate?

Facebook's 63rd block (DAY 4). We're still waiting to hear from the court about Declan's claim against the Mayor of London-commissioned St Mungo's (WITH UPDATE 20/2/2020)

This is Facebook's 63rd block (4 days) against Church and State since 1 December 2015, and as usual without an explanation. They are barring me for the 62nd time from posting in groups I belong to. They also have yet to remove one half of a double administrative block against me. They are still blocking a listing of all the groups I belong to (267 days), having last November removed a block on scheduling posts from our page (77 days). We had such a low reach on our Facebook page since the beginning of October 2019 that the page became a virtual right-off for the rest of the year. It has to be indisputable that with any sort of level playing field from Facebook, Church and State would have far exceeded the 5.7 million hits we had last year. Our top five articles have 6.2 million Facebook likes/shares between them.

Mayor of London Sadiq Khan

11 December 2019: St Mungo's: Declan has filed in court his reply to an outrageous witness statement from this Mayor of London-commissioned charity. We are threatened with insurmountable debt just to get them to vouch over the phone that we are clients of theirs [1]

Paragraph 1 of Declan's reply to the St Mungo's witness statement reads as follows:

1. The Defendant's witness statement dated 27 November 2019, written by its Tenancy Sustainment Team (TST) Service Manager Ilyas Hussein, contains a series of false claims and omits and misrepresents key facts pertaining to its tenancy sustainment support. This in itself would indicate that the Claimant has a pleadable case against the Defendant which has some real prospect of success, and that the Defendant's request for costs is abusive and unjustified.

The Mayor of London-commissioned St Mungo's has made his volunteering at Newham Council highly relevant to court proceedings. Despite two reminders, Limelight Sports still has not reimbused Declan for his travel expenses to and from Hyde Park for the RBC Race For The Kids on Saturday, 12 October 2019. He has also been informed by the Council that going forward he will have to wait for up to 90 days for his volunteer hours to be loaded on their system; see my post of 2 January, Newham Council: The Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman will not investigate Declan's complaint of unfair treatment because it pertains to his voluntary work at the Council.

St Mungo's is funded by Mayor of London Sadiq Khan to run a number of his rough sleepers initiatives.

Heavey v St Mungo's (2016)

Trial held in the Central London County Court, Royal Courts of Justice on 20 February 2017.

On 23 August 2018, Declan complained to the Information Commissioner's Office about case notes St Mungo's Executive Director Dominic Williamson assured the Court at trial in February 2017 had been rectified by him but were in fact being held under my name. It took the scheduling of a preliminary hearing in October 2016 to have case notes from two meetings so-called rectified by Williamson as Declan had requested all along; and that rectification only took place after a failed attempt by an international firm of solicitors, Osborne Clarke, to have Declan's claim struck out on the papers. The judge at the preliminary hearing dismissed St Mungo's application to strike out Declan's claim for compensation. DJ Avent's order dated 11 March 2017 does not state why he dismissed the claim at trial. Williamson: "The court case concerned your complaint about the notes on your record. My understanding is that following the court case it became apparent that the note in contention was mirrored on your wife's record - which I don't recall being aware of at the time - and this was subsequently amended to reflect the change we had made to yours. The court was therefore not misled." We strongly disagree that the court was not misled.

Last month Declan brought his complaint of unfair treatment against Newham Council to the attention of the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman. According to the Council, Declan will have to wait for up to 90 days for his volunteer hours to be loaded on their system; see my post of 13 December 2019, Newham Council: The Mayor of London-commissioned St Mungo's has made this complaint to the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman highly relevant to Declan's court action against the charity (WITH UPDATE 27/12/2019). St Mungo's claims in court papers that Declan has a volunteer position at Newham Council; nothing, in fact, could be further from the truth. (Miscellaneous events such as the London Marathon or Newham Council's Firework Display are not long term opportunities known as LTOs and cannot be construed as a 'position' by any stretch of the imagination.) Last week Declan received the Ombudsman's final decision that he has no jurisdiction to investigate his complaint of unfair treatment against the Council because the complaint pertaining to voluntary work is "akin to one relating to employment matters". Yesterday Declan complained to the Council about the subsequent reduction of the volunteering he has done by 32 hours and more besides.

Dear Mr Springer,

Further to Newham Council's complaint response below, I respectfully ask you to uphold my complaint about Active Newham's serious reduction of my volunteer statistics. Please see the screenshots attached. Earlier this week I accessed my Active Newham profile to view the latest opportunities. My volunteer statistics then read: 126:15 Hours Logged; 126:15 Hours Confirmed; 21 Opportunities; 24 Sessions; 16 Thumbs Up. 

Yesterday I was shocked to find that these statistics have been seriously reduced to read: 94 Hours Logged (minus 32:15 hours); 94 Hours Confirmed (minus 32:15 hours); 15 Opportunities (minus 6 opportunities); 18 Sessions (minus 6 sessions); 15 Thumbs Up (minus 1 thumbs up). My way to an Ace volunteer ranking has consequently been reduced from 84% to 63%.

Last week I received the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman's final decision that he has no jurisdiction to investigate my complaint of unfair treatment against Newham Council because the complaint that I will have to wait for up to 90 days for Active Newham to load my volunteer hours on the system is "akin to one relating to employment matters".

28 December 2019: We are fighting for our lives. We expect to be served an eviction notice in less than five months time should the Court uphold the complete withdrawal of the support we need from the Mayor of London-commissioned St Mungo's

What the issue in these court proceedings boils down to is whether the Court will decide that Declan and I should face the prospect of eviction back to the streets (a death threat) rather than St Mungo's take a call to confirm that we are clients of theirs, and that such a position is not harsh, unjust and unreasonable.

Our need for this support continues to escalate?

Email interception: Declan's emails continue to be targeted. It's as bad now as it has ever been

Our Church and State website has no less than 59 Nobel Laureates on it; for details, see this blog's sidebar under "Church and State" (updated today).



19 September 2019: Email interception: This month not one of Declan's 24 emails to Nobel laureates has been read. We have had using Mailtrack a round average of 150 unread emails a month since last May (UPDATED 30/9/2019)

- this link reveals how Mailtrack can be hacked to dramatically colour findings. We believe a round average of 150 unread emails a month from May to September 2019 is almost certainly an underestimation.

Declan has commenced court proceedings against the Mayor of London-commissioned St Mungo's in the County Court at Central London in the Royal Courts of Justice.

Email interception: Now we are being prevented from using Mailtrack. Declan is only able to send three out of ten emails using the extension. This is unprecedented in scale.

Our Church and State website has no less than 58 Nobel Laureates on it; for details, see this blog's sidebar under "Church and State" (updated today).
