Facebook (DAY 2): Has the social network now stopped me from scheduling any post that has the number 1 in the time slot? We have still heard nothing from the Mayor of London-commissioned St Mungo's, or the Bank for that matter

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).



"Since last night I have been unable to schedule any post that has the number 1 in the time slot (please see attachment). Thank you in advance for your assistance in this matter."

Who can say that Declan does not have opposition?

The Royal Bank of Scotland Group Headquarters in Gogarburn. The RBS owns National Westminster Bank (NatWest).

Declan currently has the Royal Bank of Scotland (along with NatWest Bank) before the Financial Ombudsman for the cancellation of a standing order on the Network for Church Monitoring business account without his knowledge or consent. And this after he received £100 compensation from the RBS in recognition of his time, travel costs and inconvenience in setting up this and another standing order last month.

24 March: Royal Bank of Scotland: Despite his earlier dealings with the RBS Executive Response Team, Declan has been waiting four weeks to learn from Natwest Bank who cancelled a standing order on the Network for Church Monitoring business account without his knowledge or consent (Financial Ombudsman Ref: PNX-3576860-D6B8).

From My Picks

25 March (previous post): Threat to life: Declan entered into the court file his opening statement for Friday's hearing, now adjourned. We are also being threatened with insurmountable debt just to get the Mayor of London-commissioned St Mungo's to vouch over the phone that we are clients of theirs

County Court at Central London, Royal Courts of Justice.

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 phone call to confirm that we are clients of theirs, and that such a position is not harsh, unjust and unreasonable. At St Mungo's Application Hearing to have his claim struck out (now adjourned), Declan will also seek the leave of the court to submit a supplemental witness statement to have struck out documentation in serial breach of the Data Protection Act, and that he only received three days after his filing in court and service of his reply to an outrageous witness statement upon which St Mungo's application relies.

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.

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).

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. This afternoon Declan asked the court to include in the court file his opening statement for Friday's hearing. The Court subsequently informed him that the hearing has been adjourned. Our tenancy now will almost certainly become periodic immediately after the fixed date in our contract has expired on 17 May. Either our tenancy will not be renewed or it cannot be renewed because we will not facilitate through any new term St Mungo's bullying and heavy-handed tactics that have included misrepresentation and outright lies. We, therefore, face a destabilised tenancy and eviction back to the streets through no fault of our own (a threat to life). St Mungo's, of course, knows this and court proceedings do not seem to faze them or serve to abate their unconscionable behaviour.

Opening Statement 

As stated in paragraph 1 of my reply to the witness statement of Ilyas Hussein, St Mungo's application to strike out my claim is predicated on a series of false claims and omits and misrepresents key facts pertaining to its tenancy sustainment support. This in itself would indicate that I have a pleadable case which has some real prospect of success and that St Mungo's request for costs is abusive and unjustified.

I have been treated unlawfully in two respects. First, it is unconscionable that I should face the prospect of eviction back to the streets (a death threat) rather than St Mungo's Tenancy Sustainment Team (TST) take a phone call to confirm that I am a client of theirs. The ongoing maintenance of this position, whether by a case stated or otherwise, is harsh, unjust and unreasonable; it therefore constitutes a breach of a duty of care owed by St Mungo's to me. The same goes for my wife.

Secondly, I seek the leave of the court to submit a supplemental witness statement for the additional purpose of requesting that the court strike out documentation that is in serial breach of the Data Protection Act. I only received this documentation three days after my filing in court and service of my reply to the witness statement of Mr Hussein. In total the offending documentation contains no less than 22 breaches of the Data Protection Act, taking into account inaccurate, misleading and false information. It is even repeatedly claimed in this documentation that I am not currently working. St Mungo's knows full well that I have a part-time job as an employee of Network for Church Monitoring.

I have never consented to these support plans and related documentation, and it would also be my intention to appeal to the good graces of the court to permanently strike this sort of documentation from the record. My tenancy cannot be stabilised so long as such documentation can again be used by TST Service to either try to coerce my wife and me to move on against our best interests or have us evicted through misrepresentation and outright lies. It was agreed with me in 2016 that there would be no support plan. St Mungo's also assured the court in 2016 that they would ensure that the records that their staff keep are agreed by me. 

St Mungo's to the same court in 2016

23. St Mungo's is keen to work with Mr Heavey to ensure that he remains securely housed and does not face homelessness again. We are willing to work with him to ensure that the records that our staff keep are agreed by him. We will continue to try to address any of his concerns.

Nonetheless, Ilyas Hussein has most recently written that he does not believe that "the support TST can provide will be of any assistance to you at this time". And this, notwithstanding current court proceedings.

Declan has been assured by the Court that his reply to Ilyas Hussein's witness statement was part of the file that was referred to DDJ Whiteley for directions as to how to proceed.

In summation

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 phone call to confirm that we are clients of theirs, and that such a position is not harsh, unjust and unreasonable. At St Mungo's Application Hearing to have his claim struck out (now adjourned), Declan will also seek the leave of the court to submit a supplemental witness statement to have struck out documentation in serial breach of the Data Protection Act, and that he only received three days after his filing in court and service of his reply to an outrageous witness statement upon which St Mungo's application relies.

Declan currently has the Royal Bank of Scotland (along with NatWest Bank) before the Financial Ombudsman for the cancellation of a standing order on the Network for Church Monitoring business account without his knowledge or consent. And this after he received £100 compensation from the RBS in recognition of his time, travel costs and inconvenience in setting up this and another standing order last month.

24 March: Royal Bank of Scotland: Despite his earlier dealings with the RBS Executive Response Team, Declan has been waiting four weeks to learn from Natwest Bank who cancelled a standing order on the Network for Church Monitoring business account without his knowledge or consent (Financial Ombudsman Ref: PNX-3576860-D6B8).

On 25 February Declan called into NatWest Stratford Branch Broadway about the non-payment of his salary, only to discover that the standing order payable to him on the Network for Church Monitoring business account had been cancelled. And this notwithstanding that the Royal Bank of Scotland Executive Response team assured Declan in writing on 17 February that there were then two new standing orders on the account payable to him and me. They also paid him on that day £100 compensation in recognition of his time, travel costs and inconvenience. Prior to this latest visit to NatWest Stratford Branch Broadway, Declan's previous visit to this or any NatWest branch was on 13 February, so it could not possibly have been him who cancelled the standing order. The deputy manager at NatWest Stratford Branch Broadway complained to the NatWest Complaints team on Declan's behalf: "Customer's desired outcome for now is to find out who has cancelled the standing order and why it hasn't been paid. Customer is not willing to provide another signature on a new standing order until he knows who has cancelled it and why it has not been paid." For now, Declan's salary is being paid online by quick transfer from the business account to his personal account. He is still waiting to learn from NatWest who cancelled the standing order without his knowledge or consent (case reference: PHO-0265369320). This is information the Bank is still withholding from him notwithstanding the involvement of the Financial Ombudsman Service. This service settles individual disputes between consumers and businesses that provide financial services but they haven't got back to Declan since they emailed him a case reference number on 5 March.

Financial Ombudsman Ref: PNX-3576860-D6B8

This was Declan's complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service before he visited NatWest Stratford Branch Broadway on 25 February. The Service subsequently informed him that the cancellation of the standing order will be considered in addition to and part of this complaint, which Declan submitted only knowing about the then ongoing partial disclosure in printout form of the standing order payable to him and the non-payment of his salary the day previous.

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.

Submitted on 25 February 2020

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. It is evident from the track and trace report that the mail item was lost by the United States Postal Service one step away from the delivery point. We have had problems with the delivery of this mail item for the past few years. In fact, this is the second time in three years that Royal Mail has compensated Declan for his postage of the item. Three years ago the item didn't even make it past our nearby collection office; see my post of 18 February, 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 11/3/2020).





From My Picks:

28 February: 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 in the Royal Courts of Justice

Our need for this support continues to escalate?

Facebook's 66th block (DAY 8). Declan's claim against the Mayor of London-commissioned St Mungo's has not been dismissed on the papers. We have received the hearing date of 27 March from the court (WITH UPDATE 25/4/2020)

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).

Limits have been placed on Network for Church Monitoring
Stories from your Page are not being shown in News Feed. This could be due to activity from your Page that doesn't comply with Facebook's policies. This limit is temporary and expires Wednesday, 18 March 2020 at 08:06.

"We wish to appeal your decision today to put limits on Network for Church Monitoring without an explanation - or on this occasion an explanation so vague that it cannot be said to constitute an explanation at all. To the best of our knowledge, our Page complies with Facebook's policies. We ensure that our Page complies with all applicable laws, statutes and regulations, and not one of our postings has been identified as failing any of these standards."

This is Facebook's 66th block (8 days) against Church and State since 1 December 2015, and as usual without an explanation (once again being vague to the point of containing no actual information). Not one article has been identified that violates Facebook's policies or the law. This third block on stories from our Facebook page has brought the page to a standstill. This year is also the first year since I created the page in January 2011 that it has been penalised in this manner; usually, and this still applies, I am blocked without explanation from posting in groups I belong to.[1] Facebook is also maintaining one half of a double administrative block against me. They are still blocking a listing of all the groups I belong to (322 days), having last November removed a block on scheduling posts from our page after 77 days. 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. In addition to their blocks throughout the year, we had such a low reach since the beginning of October 2019 that the page became a virtual right-off for the rest of the year.[2] And this is not to mention over 2,400 blocks on access to Church and State since 26 July 2016, including 28 full distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks last year that lasted for as long as 54 hours at a time. Our top five articles have 6.4 million Facebook likes/shares between them.



UPDATE 25 April (10.37am): No let-up from Facebook! Their 66th block was lifted on 18 March (8 days). However, subsequently, I have been unable to schedule any post that has the number 1 in the time slot (which I did not treat as a block per se), and four times I have been blocked without reason or explanation from posting in groups and once from scheduling posts.[3] I still can't access the listing of all the groups I belong to (359 days). In fact, today records as the first day free of their ninth double block this year, which followed on foot of their second treble block since 10 March. The never-ending assault on our email too continues unabated; see my post of 16 March, Email interception: Now we're finding reply emails in our spam box! It raises the question to what extent our incoming email is also being sabotaged. Our close colleagues have known for years that emailing us is not reliable. This flagship post highlights the targeting of our emails to Nobel laureates, US National Medal of Science laureates and knighted professors in particular. It also reveals a 2010 parliamentary letter to former Prime Minister Theresa May (then Home Secretary) about the interception of our email. Last Wednesday Declan tried emailing ten Nobel laureates. Not one received his email, according to Mailtrack.

With the background as provided above, the Heaveys now are facing an eviction notice from their landlord, Peabody Trust housing association. The tenancy is a flat, which falls under the Mayor of London's Rough Sleepers Initiative. Pardoning my intrusion into English law, but in fairness there does not appear to be any reason for the eviction, relying apparently entirely on the discretion of the landlord.

Footnotes updated 24 April 2020

[1] During Facebook's 66th block (the subject of this blog post), they also blocked me from posting in groups I belong to. This additional block below stands recorded as their 67th block (3 days) against Church and State since 1 December 2015. This is the usual Facebook block that comes out of the blue without explanation for variable time periods. For example, in March 2018, this block prevented me from posting Church and State articles in groups four times for a total of 29 out of 31 days.



[2] The suppression of our post reach on Church and State articles recommenced on 18 March 2020 immediately following the removal of Facebook's 66th block, which for the third time this year prevented stories from our page being shown in News Feed. It has continued to varying degrees to this day.

[3] I have subsequently recorded Facebook's 68th block (2 days), 69th block (1 day), 70th block (2 days), 71st block (2 days), and 72nd block (1 day). The 71st block was on scheduling posts, and the other four blocks on my posting in groups I belong to.

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."

This month an unprecedented number of my emails requesting permission to republish material are not getting through to people. Particularly targeted are my emails to authors who write about ageing. These past couple of weeks Declan has also found it extremely difficult to get through to prominent ageists by email.

On 1 March I posted Email interception: The never-ending assault on our email continues unabated. Not one of Declan's 19 emails yesterday to knighted professors has been read. Mailtrack records a 13% success rate based on the emails we sent. The post reveals the targeting of our emails to Nobel laureates and knighted professors in particular. Another excessively targeted group is recipients of the National Medal of Science, presented by the president of the United States. According to Mailtrack alerts (or the lack thereof), one unread email this month is Declan's considered reply to a question asked in a second email from a new Honorary Associate who has won several prestigious awards, including the US National Medal of Science. Over the years Declan's communication with many new associates has been quickly severed in this manner, including with no less than four Nobel laureates last year.

Re: Email Interception

Paragraph 42 of Declan's updated complaint to the United Nations under Article 19 (freedom of expression) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

42. The Applicant further complains that the extent of the interference with his emails resulted in 2011 in the shelving of his and his wife's petition in support of human embryonic stem cell research, which had by then been signed by 29 (now 31) Nobel laureates as well as hundreds of academics. In April 2010, an American professor wrote to Minister Featherstone: "I am truly appalled by the unlawful violation of the Heavey's basic right to send and receive email without interference. I would be most grateful for anything you may be able to do by way of taking measures to correct this gross abuse" (emphasis added). Minister Featherstone's subsequent letter to then Home Secretary Theresa May and the Applicant's Human Rights Act claims to the IPT and European Court have had no effect; if anything, the situation has got substantially worse. In February 2019, 68 of the Nobel laureates emailed since the previous month had not seen their email, according to Mailtrack. On 21 April 2019, the Applicant's MP Lyn Brown acknowledged by autoreply his complaint about the interception of email but hasn't responded to it. Last month (June 2019), 155 of his and his wife's emails went unread, including four reply emails to those who had just agreed to be listed as Honorary Associates of N4CM. The Applicant has also amassed evidence relating to incoming and outgoing mail delivery. For example, in May 2017, he complained to Royal Mail about the mishandling of his and his wife's incoming mail following the loss in London of their employment contracts to the United States. He repeatedly complained about mail not being put through their letter box before he received £30 in compensation and a failed assurance from the Royal Mail Chief Executive's Office that "the actions taken will prevent this happening again". On 17 July 2018, the Applicant complained to the Office that their renewed Tenancy Agreement was delivered through the bathroom window of another tenant's flat. They can still find letters for them in the front hall of the property they live in.

Emails resent to Nobel laureates


03/09/19: 24 Nobelists emailed, 1 bounce, 23 unread (0 read).

On 21 February 2019, 68 of the Nobel laureates emailed since 3 January 2019 had not seen Declan's email. Then followed:

21/02/19: 25 emails resent, 21 unread (4 read)
22/02/19: 27 emails resent, 23 unread (4 read)
25/02/19: 46 emails resent, 43 unread (3 read)

03/03/19: 8 emails resent, 5 unread (3 read)

08/03/19: 10 emails resent, 9 unread (1 read)
30/03/19: 22 emails resent, 19 unread (3 read)

Totals: 187 emails resent, 2 phone calls, 163 unread (24 read)

The above statistics applied to the 68 Nobel laureates recorded on 21 February 2019 as not having read Declan's email. Since 31 March 2019, Declan has been trying to email some Nobel laureates who heard from him in early 2019 as well as those who haven't heard from him at all. He has been successful in the latter category only very occasionally.

Not included in the figures above is an email to a Nobel laureate on 4 March 2019 confirming his listing as an Honorary Associate that went unread. This quick severing of communications occurred four times last year with Nobel laureates and continues to happen with new associates and publishing permissions to this day.

Facebook's 67th block (DAY 3). On the first day of this block we also happened to receive the hearing date of 27 March from the court

County Court at Central London, Royal Courts of Justice

Two days ago Facebook blocked me from posting in groups I belong to. This is the social network's 67th block (day 3) against Church and State since 1 December 2015, and, as usual, without an explanation.



This block came within hours of Declan receiving the hearing date of 27 March from the court. The block is, in fact, one of three blocks we are currently dealing with from Facebook without an explanation (or in one instance "an explanation so vague that it cannot be said to constitute an explanation at all", to quote from my appeal).



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

Mayor of London Sadiq Khan

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.

Email interception: When will we be able to get our emails through to people using Mailtrack?

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).

According to Mailtrack alerts (or the lack thereof), one unread email from earlier this week is Declan's considered reply to a question asked in a second email from a new Honorary Associate who has won several prestigious awards, including the National Medal of Science, presented by the president of the United States. Over the years, Declan's email exchange with many associates has been quickly severed in this manner.

On 1 March I posted Email interception: The never-ending assault on our email continues unabated. Not one of Declan's 19 emails yesterday to knighted professors has been read. Mailtrack records a 13% success rate based on the emails we sent. The post reveals the targeting of our emails to Nobel laureates and knighted professors in particular. It also reveals a 2010 parliamentary letter to former Prime Minister Theresa May (then Home Secretary) about the interception of our email which continues unabated to this day.

Limits have been placed on Network for Church Monitoring
Stories from your Page are not being shown in News Feed. This could be due to activity from your Page that doesn't comply with Facebook's policies. This limit is temporary and expires Friday, 28 February 2020 at 19:58.

"We wish to appeal your decision today to put limits on Network for Church Monitoring without an explanation (or on this occasion an explanation so vague that it cannot be said to constitute an explanation at all). To the best of our knowledge, our Page complies with Facebook's policies. We ensure that our Page complies with all applicable laws, statutes and regulations, and not one of our postings has been identified as failing any of these standards."

This is Facebook's 64th block (day 15) against Church and State since 1 December 2015, and as usual without an explanation (this time being vague to the point of containing no actual information). The block was extended last Friday - before it had even expired - until this afternoon. This extended block on stories from our Facebook page has brought the page to a standstill. It is also the first time since I created the page in January 2011 that it has been penalised; normally they block me without explanation from posting to groups I belong to.[1] Facebook is also maintaining one half of a double administrative block against me. They are still blocking a listing of all the groups I belong to (310 days), having last November removed a block on scheduling posts from our page (77 days). 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. In addition to blocks of one sort or another throughout the year, we had such a low reach since the beginning of October 2019 that the page became a virtual right-off for the rest of the year. Our top five articles have 6.2 million Facebook likes/shares between them.

19 of these email were to knighted professors. Not one of those emails has been read.

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.
