Declan's claim against the Mayor of London-commissioned St Mungo's has not been dismissed on the papers. We're waiting for a hearing date from the Central London County Court at the Royal Courts of Justice

I have looked at the long correspondence regarding your tenancy and clearly you have made a powerful case for the unconscionable behavior of the agency in control of your tenancy.

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).

County Court at Central London, Royal Courts of Justice

Mayor of London Sadiq Khan

11 December: 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.

___________________________

[1] Paragraphs 11 and 12 relate to Active Newham (of Newham Council) and Newham Ability Camp, respectively.

Declan and I are housed in a flat that is part of the Mayor of London's Rough Sleepers Initiative. Alongside our tenancy is access to the Mayor's Tenancy Sustainment Team (TST) at St Mungo's. It has been acknowledged by the Greater London Authority in court papers that we can live independently – we do not have addictions or mental illness or behavioural issues. Our needs are solely related to the harassment, discrimination, intimidation and victimisation we routinely face. This is typified by the behaviour of St Mungo's during proceedings currently before the court. No sooner had Declan replied to an outrageous witness statement of a service manager than he received fabricated data against him the likes of which we have not encountered before from St Mungo's (and that's saying something). Earlier this week, Declan received the Judge's order of 14 January that the hearing of St Mungo's application to strike out his claim will take place on a date and time to be advised at the County Court at Central London with a time estimate of one hour. On 16 December 2019 Declan marked as urgent this email to the court manager about St Mungo's behaviour the week previous:

16 December 2019

Dear Sir,

Claim Number: F03CL589
Claimant: Declan Heavey
Defendant: St Mungo's

I wish to bring to the Court's attention a serious development in this case almost immediately following my filing in Court and service of Claimant's Reply to Witness Statement of Ilyas Hussein on 11 December 2019.

Three days later, on 14 December, I received the results of a subject access request from the Defendant. They are truly shocking, and by far the worst the Defendant has produced against me to date.

The support terms of my tenancy agreement have been broken by these support plans and other documentation, which have been used as vehicles through which to make, inter alia, serious allegations about me without any basis in fact. The support plans and related documentation also breach assurances the Defendant has given the Court and me in the past.

The support plans, which I never knew even existed, were drawn up by the Defendant on 20 February 2019 and redrawn on 19 November 2019 as an apparent set-up for the non-renewal of my tenancy by Peabody Trust in 5 months' time. They at the very least are completely inappropriate vehicles for the Defendant to vent its animosity and hostility towards me through the use of slander and falsehood. They also undermine and contradict mutually agreed upon case notes that are loaded on the system, raising serious questions about the credibility and reliability of the Defendant and the veracity of its claims.

I can confirm that I am in possession of a support agreement that specifically states that: "There will be no support plan." This support agreement was negotiated between the Defendant and me following the equivalent of an intervention by District Judge Silverman on 3 February 2016.  

I respectfully ask that this matter of the results of my subject access request be included in my application to the Court for a declaration that the Defendant has acted unreasonably and in breach of duty towards me. 

Yours faithfully,

Declan Heavey

From My Picks:

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.

Declan's complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service:

Tell us about your complaint - what happened?

Despite a total of five visits between two NatWest Bank branches, and my telephone and email correspondence with my contact in the Royal Bank of Scotland Executive Response Team (my emails cc'd to RBS Chief Executive Alison Rose), I have not received a printout of page 1 of the new standing order payable to me that was set up on the Network for Church Monitoring account on 12 February 2020. All I have from the RBS Executive Response Team is an assurance that there are now two new standing orders on the account payable to me and my wife against the reference ending 0400. (On 11 February 2020, the manager of NatWest Chancey Lane Branch incorrectly set up the standing order payable to me with a reference number ending 040.) On 17 February 2020, £100 compensation was credited to the Network for Church Monitoring business account in recognition of my time, travel costs and inconvenience. I was also provided with the address of the Financial Ombudsman Service for the referral of my complaint. I can confirm that yesterday I did not receive the first payment of my salary in accordance with the page 2 details of the standing order payable to me that I was provided with on 12 February 2020, having been repeatedly refused a printout of page 1 of that standing order by the manager of NatWest Stratford Branch Broadway. I called into NatWest Stratford Branch Broadway twice the following day. On both occasions, I could not come away with this printout - on the second occasion having once again dealt with the manager himself.

How have you been affected - financially or otherwise?

I have been left out of pocket notwithstanding £100 compensation in recognition of my time, travel costs and inconvenience. This matter continues to take a toll on my time and money through no fault of my own.  

How would you like the business to put things right for you?

I would like NatWest Bank to provide me with a full printout of the standing order payable to me that mirrors what I have for the standing order payable to my wife, and that my salary is paid from the Network for Church Monitoring account into my personal account.

Declan received this court order yesterday:

RBS Case Ref: PHO-0264121920 Network for Church Monitoring

On 17 February Declan received an acknowledgement of his emails to RBS Chief Executive Alison Rose from the RBS Executive Response Team; and, in an apparent final decision (given that he was provided with the address of the Financial Ombudsman Service for the referral of his complaint), they credited £100 compensation to the Network for Church Monitoring business account in recognition of his time, travel costs and inconvenience. Declan, however, has yet to be provided with a full printout of the first of the two new standing orders he signed for on the account on 11 February. The penultimate paragraph of his email of 18 February to his contact on the team reads: "I remain hopeful that it will not be necessary for me to refer this case to the Financial Ombudsman Service. However, it is my intention to do so if I haven't heard back from you within the next 14 days with either a printout of page 1 of the standing order payable to me or a reasonable and satisfactory explanation as to why I cannot be provided with a printout of the standing order payable to me that mirrors what I have for a standing order payable to my wife." He copied Alison Rose into that email but hasn't heard anything back from the bank yet.

UPDATE 12 February (2.47pm): Declan called back into NatWest Stratford Branch Broadway this morning. The bottom line is that he came away without a printout of page 1 of the first standing order he signed for yesterday at NatWest Chancery Lane Branch. All he still has to hand is a page 1 with an incomplete reference number derived from an erroneous standing order from yesterday that was cancelled this morning. This, of course, is wholly unsatisfactory. I will update this post again when there is a significant development in Declan's pursuit of proper SO documentation for Newham Council - with time running out due to an increase in our salaries from the 24th of this month. I'm actually still in disbelief!

11 February: Declan writes directly to RBS Chief Executive Alison Rose about new Network for Church Monitoring Standing Orders. How will it go in NatWest Stratford Branch Broadway tomorrow? (WITH UPDATE 12/2/2020)

Declan's wrote to Alison Rose on 11 February by email and recorded post as follows:

Dear Ms Rose,

Re: Network for Church Monitoring Ltd

I write further to my e-letter below to NatWest Branch Manager Tom McKeon of NatWest Stratford Branch Broadway. I copied you into that e-letter in the hope that the problems I encountered at the branch could be resolved tomorrow. I am afraid that these problems have subsequently only been exacerbated.

This evening I called into NatWest Chancery Lane Branch. The manager there first set up a New Standing Order on Network for Church Monitoring with an incomplete reference number (herein referred to as the "first erroneous standing order"). I explained that I did not want to provide Newham Council with an Amend Standing Order. The manager understood this and consequently provided me with a "Cancel SO" note for Mr McKeon tomorrow because she was unable to cancel the standing order on the day (please see document 1 attached). She then created two New Standing Orders, which I signed for willingly and without undue influence.

However, despite my very best efforts to come away from the bank with proof of what I actually signed for, all I have to hand is, inter alia, a page 1 New Standing Order document with an incomplete reference number that was derived from the first erroneous standing order (please see document 2 attached), and a related page 2 Standing Order Details document with the full and correct account number that was derived from the first of the two New Standing Orders I signed for without amends (please see document 3 attached). I was repeatedly and forcibly told by one member of staff that if I wanted a copy of the page 1 details I actually signed for, I would have to accept an Amend Standing Order on the first erroneous standing order the manager set up! [emphasis added]

The manager showed no willingness to change the bank's steadfast position on this.

Tomorrow it is my intention to return to NatWest Stratford Branch Broadway in the hope that I can in some way come away with what I signed for this evening without amends, and that three erroneous standing orders (two from this morning) are cancelled. I would be most grateful for anything you may be able to do by way of taking measures that would be of assistance to me in this regard.

Yours sincerely,

Declan Heavey

We're also tracking our employment contracts in the United States. Declan mailed the item on 31 January and it has been ready for delivery by the United States Postal Service since 10 February (no signature required), according to Royal Mail Track and Trace this morning. Royal Mail: "Our delivery aim to European countries like Germany, France and Spain, is a speedy 3-5 working days and just 5-7 working days for the rest of the world - even to countries on the other side of the globe, like Australia, China or New Zealand."



The Royal Mail can't look into this matter of delayed mail until 6 March at the earliest.

Our need for this support continues to escalate?

Mail delivery: I have just discovered that a United States Postal Service image no longer appears in the relevant Royal Mail blog post last year! I have written to MediaFire about this (WITH UPDATE 15/05/20)

Declan and I are currently tracking our employment contracts in the United States. The item has been ready for delivery by the United States Postal Service (USPS) since Monday of last week, according to Royal Mail Track and Trace this evening.



And we have discovered that at least one USPS image no longer appears in this blog! I have identified where the USPS image should be appearing in my post of 12 February 2019, Royal Mail: This year our employment contracts made it out of the UK but going on two weeks later they are currently in transit to or from a PO Box destination in America (WITH UPDATE 15/02/19).

I wrote to MediaFire about this on 14 February but haven't heard back from them yet.

UPDATE 15 May 2020 (11.50am): I never heard back from MediaFire! In fact three months later I have discovered that a second image had disappeared in the same Royal Mail blog post, so this morning I have uploaded both missing images to an alternative host for images and they are now both appearing in the post. On 11 March Declan received the princely sum of £9.50 from Royal Mail to refund the postage on our employment contracts to the United States. This is the second time in three years that Royal Mail has compensated Declan for his postage of this item.

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 email interception post last year reveals how Mailtrack can be hacked to dramatically colour findings. To say we had a round average of 150 unread emails a month from May to September 2019 is almost certainly an understatement.

* Since the week commencing 27 October 2019, we have been defining a full DDoS attack as having such a high volume of up to four-minute blocks on access to Church and State that we don't bother recording them all.

18 May 2019: SITE BLOCKS: Are full distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks to be the new norm? SiteGound is paid $1,000 per year to host Church and State and manage the server (WITH UPDATE 18/4/2020: re 2,535th block since 26 July 2016)

This is what the latest full DDoS attack this afternoon looked like in my SiteGround account:

In re DDoS attacks

Paragraph 39 of Declan's updated complaint to the United Nations under Article 19 (freedom of expression) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

39. The Applicant and his wife's Church and State website has been removed from the Internet on five distinct occasions. For example, in May 2012, Just Host, the domain's then registrar, changed the domain name server records without permission and disabled the Applicant's wife's facility to correct these records herself. Shortly after the domain was transferred to SiteGround's registrar, the site was vandalised to such an extent that the Applicant's wife was advised by the WordPress theme developer to start afresh with a new theme. N4CM Chairman Dr. Stephen D. Mumford has been paying for the hosting of the Church and State website since December 2010. Nonetheless, the site continues to be attacked in various ways, such as with Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. In October 2015, SiteGround responded: "We have blocked the network that is being used by that user agent and now the server should remain working normally." There have subsequently been 2,117 recorded blocks on access to the Church and State since July 2016; and unprecedentedly, the site was the target of five full DDoS attacks in May 2019 lasting for as long as 24 hours at a time. SiteGround is paid $1,000 per year to host the site and manage the server.

Metropolitan Police Crime Reference No. 5304416/20. Vandalisation of our outdoor gas meter box

Our Church and State website has no less than 59 Nobel Laureates on it despite the never-ending assault on our email; see paragraph 2 of this blog's sidebar under "Church and State" (updated today).

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).

Yesterday I posted Death threat: This week we did not hear from the court in Declan's claim against the Mayor of London-commissioned St Mungo's and the clock is ticking down on our tenancy (previous post). Some time between 10pm last night and 1.30pm this afternoon our outdoor gas meter box was vandalised. The crime reference number is 5304416/20. The police have told Declan to contact them with any more information that he feels could assist them to identify those responsible for the removal of the metal gas door with some tool that surgically cut all four of the hinge rivets to the right from top to bottom. I found the door strewn on grass on my way out this afternoon a good six meters away from the meter box, to the left.



This reminds me of the removal of our flat door in 2012. (It was the Independent Police Complaints Commission's finding on that occasion that since our then live-in landlady had subsequently signed an undertaking to the County Court promising not to harass us, there was no requirement for the Metropolitan Police to take further action.)



We were evicted from our previous flat in March 2013 because according to our then live-in landlady's ex-husband, Dr Nigel McKenzie, a consultant psychiatrist in Highgate Mental Health Centre, our flat was needed for somebody with a mental illness. As Declan states in paragraph 8 of his recent updated complaint to the UN, former MI5 whistleblower David Shayler also lived with human rights activist Belinda McKenzie in the same political 'safe house' for a couple of years until 2007. According to BBC Panorama, Shayler "caused the biggest crisis of official secrecy since the spy catcher affair"; he was jailed for seven weeks in 2002 for breaking the Official Secrets Act. It's unfortunate that Shayler declared himself the Messiah in 2007, became a squatter, and was subsequently ridiculed in the press for changing his name to Delores Kane. A New Statesman article published in September 2006 featuring Shayler and Belinda gives no indication that Shayler believed he was the Messiah at that time; whilst a Daily Mail interview with him the following year reveals he believed himself to be Jesus by June 2007. He has never regained his normal self.

The Esquire article below is mentioned in a Guardian article dated 27 March 2012.* It's an eye-opener, highlighting the monitoring and surveillance that Shayler had to live with back in 2000, and the contradictory briefings and slanders that were coming out of the British establishment and the media. The author, Dr Eamonn O'Neill, is Associate Professor in Journalism at Edinburgh Napier University.

I have looked at the long correspondence regarding your tenancy and clearly you have made a powerful case for the unconscionable behavior of the agency in control of your tenancy.

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.

Declan and I are housed in a flat that is part of the Mayor of London's Rough Sleepers Initiative. Alongside our tenancy is access to the Mayor's Tenancy Sustainment Team (TST) at St Mungo's. It has been acknowledged by the Greater London Authority in court papers that we can live independently – we do not have addictions or mental illness or behavioural issues. Our needs are solely related to the harassment, discrimination, intimidation and victimisation we routinely face. This is typified by the behaviour of St Mungo's during proceedings currently before the Central London County Court in the Royal Courts of Justice. Last week Declan phoned the Court and was informed that his letter last December for the Judge is on the system. He was also told that we could hear from the Court this week. This, however, has not happened, and the clock is ticking down on our tenancy. Declan is presently battling through the Court falsified documentation seemingly drawn up with the sole purpose of having us evicted when our fixed term tenancy ends this coming May.

BY EMAIL AND RECORDED POST


16 December 2019

Dear Sir,

Claim Number: F03CL589
Claimant: Declan Heavey
Defendant: St Mungo's

I wish to bring to the Court's attention a serious development in this case almost immediately following my filing in Court and service of Claimant's Reply to Witness Statement of Ilyas Hussein on 11 December 2019.

Three days later, on 14 December, I received the results of a subject access request from the Defendant. They are truly shocking, and by far the worst the Defendant has produced against me to date.

The support terms of my tenancy agreement have been broken by these support plans and other documentation, which have been used as vehicles through which to make, inter alia, serious allegations about me without any basis in fact. The support plans and related documentation also breach assurances the Defendant has given the Court and me in the past.

The support plans, which I never knew even existed, were drawn up by the Defendant on 20 February 2019 and redrawn on 19 November 2019 as an apparent set-up for the non-renewal of my tenancy by Peabody Trust in 5 months' time. They at the very least are completely inappropriate vehicles for the Defendant to vent its animosity and hostility towards me through the use of slander and falsehood. They also undermine and contradict mutually agreed upon case notes that are loaded on the system, raising serious questions about the credibility and reliability of the Defendant and the veracity of its claims.

I can confirm that I am in possession of a support agreement that specifically states that: "There will be no support plan." This support agreement was negotiated between the Defendant and me following the equivalent of an intervention by District Judge Silverman on 3 February 2016.  

I respectfully ask that this matter of the results of my subject access request be included in my application to the Court for a declaration that the Defendant has acted unreasonably and in breach of duty towards me. 

Yours faithfully,

Declan Heavey

From My Picks:

30 January (previous post): 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?"

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?
