Facebook's 76th block (day 39): Having threatened to terminate my account without reason or cause, now I am blocked from posting in our Page. We received District Judge Ruth Fine's Order eight days after the 21-day time limit for appeal had expired
DAY 101 IN A WEEKLY PERIODIC TENANCY
SUBJECT TO A 'NO FAULT' SECTION 21 NOTICE
MAYOR OF LONDON RSI PROPERTY
14/04/20
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.

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 under "Church and State" on this blog's sidebar (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).
18/07/20: "I wish to appeal your decision today to block me without explanation from posting in my Page, Network for Church Monitoring. I have no notification in my Support Inbox about this block. All I did receive this morning was a warning that my account is at risk of being disabled (see attachment). This warning was issued without reason or cause and came with no specific information about what I am supposed to be doing wrong. To the best of my knowledge, my postings comply with Facebook's policies. I always take care to ensure that my postings comply with all applicable laws, statutes and regulations, and not one of my postings has been identified as failing any of these standards."
Currently we are up to Facebook's 78th block against Church and State since 1 December 2015, and as usual without an explanation. The 76th block above, which has prevented me from posting in our Page for the past 39 days, records as their 15th block this year and as one of four blocks. I also can't scroll after seeing 4-5 posts in groups I belong to (22 days); I can't post in these groups (38 days); and I can't access a list of my groups (481 days). Declan and I are housed in a flat, owned by Peabody Trust, that is part of the Mayor of London's Rough Sleepers Initiative programme. Alongside our tenancy is access to the Mayor's Tenancy Sustainment Team at St Mungo's (the charity in effective control of our tenancy). On 28 July we received District Judge Fine's Order eight days after the 21-day time limit for appeal had expired. A publishing colleague in America had cleared the Judge's costs order within 24 hours of my blog post about this hearing of St Mungo's application for strike out.
DJ Ruth Fine orders Declan to pay £1,850 in costs

Heavey v St Mungo's (2020)
Application hearing for strike out held by conference call before the Central London County Court on 30 June 2020.
What the issue in these court proceedings boiled down to was whether the Court would decide that Declan and I should live in a destabilised tenancy that inhibits our ability to exercise our rights and poses a threat to his life, simply because the Mayor of London-commissioned St Mungo's Tenancy Sustainment Team in North London (TST North) would not even take a phone call to confirm that we are clients of theirs. Declan argued that this was not proportionate and lawful. But District Judge Ruth Fine agreed with counsel for St Mungo's that TST North was not obliged to take such a phone call and ordered him to pay £1,850 in costs. Declan had asked the Judge to take into consideration that St Mungo's had clocked up exorbitant legal fees without mentioning this phone call in their application for strike out.[1] Less than a week later, TST North had agreed to take this phone call for us both. But our landlord Peabody Trust will not renew our tenancy like for like as twice before, thereby preventing us from engaging the Mayor's TST service due to the ongoing destabilisation of our tenancy (Housing Ombudsman ref: 202002510).
30 June: District Judge Ruth Fine orders Declan to pay £1,850 in costs. St Mungo's are under no obligation to even vouch over the phone that we are clients of the Mayor of London-commissioned St Mungo's TST programme (WITH UPDATE 25/08/20)

[1] Bankruptcy averted! On 23 June Batchelors Solicitors sent Declan their costs amounting to £3,407.50. The counsel for St Mungo's asked the Judge to make him pay that exact amount even though, at the time of submitting these costs to the court, St Mungo's had never mentioned the phone call which was the essence of Declan's claim against this taxpayer-funded charity (who's turnover in 2017/18 came to £89.6 million). Declan's debt to St Mungo's was cleared by a publishing colleague within 24 hours of my blog post above.

Looks like they could use a bit more money—another $300 would no doubt be a big lift.
There must be a large handling fee for the money transfer!
The poor apparently are still treated in London like Oliver Twist!
So glad you made the transfer so promptly.
These are remarkable people!

Who can say that Declan does not have opposition?
Declan currently has NatWest Bank (owned by The Royal Bank of Scotland) before the Financial Ombudsman Service for the cancellation of a replacement standing order on the Network for Church Monitoring business account without his knowledge or consent. And this after he received an email from RBS on 17 February confirming that this standing order was active, as well as £100 compensation in recognition of his "time, travel costs and inconvenience" in setting up this and another replacement standing order on 12 February. He has been waiting since 25 February for NatWest Complaints to confirm who cancelled the standing order between this email on 17 February and the non-payment of his salary on 24 February. His salary continues to be paid online by quick transfer from the business account to his personal account pending this explanation.
25 August: Facebook's first quadruple block (day 22). Declan may have to ask an ombudsman to look at his complaint against NatWest afresh. It seems that the bank are still saying, in effect, that there was no active Standing order payable to himself on 17 February despite RBS's email to the contrary

It has to be indisputable that with any sort of level playing field Church and State would have far exceeded the 5.7 million hits we had last year, as well as our 2 million hits this year (see the last paragraph under "Church and State" on this blog's sidebar). Our top five articles have 6.5 million Facebook likes/shares between them.
