SiteGround has gotten back to me. Access to our Church and State website has been repeatedly denied. Do I have a fix? They have named WP Rocket, who I have being paying for many years for one plugin
Our Church and State website has no less than 63 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).
First readout above: "2021-06-07 03:50:16 UTC ... cache can't open /home/customer/www/churchandstate.org.uk/ ... - Too many open files...." Constantly repeated.

Dear SiteGround,
Thank you for your second email.
I understand that your latest email suggests in part that I contact three plugin developers to possibly stop these errors messages, the three developers being WP Rocket, All in One SEO and WPBakery Page Builder. As previously stated, I have been paying WP Rocket for many years for the one plugin they provide me with.
You have previously written that there is a limit of 60 files that can be opened by a single process on my account. I also understand that you were in some way mistaken when you earlier wrote that: "Normally, there are limits to how many files can be opened, though you have a Cloud account, so those limits shouldn't exist."
The above said, can you please increase as you have also suggested the specific limits on my Cloud to a sufficient amount to stop these error messages, or at least to possibly reduce in number the plugin developers at issue? I do not know what the new value should be and would defer to your expertise.
Sincerely,
Lola Heavey

Thank you for the follow-up.
We have increased the number of files that a process can open up to 180 which is 3 times the previous limit value.
If there are any other issues we can help with, please submit a new ticket so we can assist again.

25 May: Today I have written to our web host SiteGround. The articles on our Church and State homepage can now be seen and I can edit and publish new articles. I have also received an explanation for these earlier problems
The Royal Bank of Scotland Group Headquarters in Gogarburn. The RBS owns National Westminster Bank (NatWest).
Declan dealt with the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) about the RBS's NatWest for over a year following the non-payment of his salary by standing order. The Financial Ombudsman effectively found in a final decision in this case that the Executive Case Manager at RBS wouldn't have been reasonably aware when she paid Declan compensation on 17 February 2020 - in recognition of issues he had experienced in setting up two replacement standing orders on the Network for Church Monitoring account - that there had been some error previously made by NatWest in setting up the replacement standing order for the payment of his salary. Declan's complaint about the subsequent cancellation of the standing order without his knowledge or consent that resulted in the non-payment of his salary on 24 February 2020 was passed by the investigator to an ombudsman, who is the former Team Manager at FOS and has held roles at Alliance and Leicester (now Santander). Below is a link to Declan's response to the ombudsman's published decision not to uphold his complaint.
FOS investigator: "NatWest have said although the cancellation was processed on the 12th February 2020, it wasn't uploaded for processing until later – so it didn't actually cancel until the 19 February 2020."
26 March: NatWest Bank: Declan's response to the Financial Ombudsman's decision on their website. Pixsy continues to chase payment for the past non-commercial use of one image on the Church and State website
The above complaint concerning the non-payment by standing order of Declan's salary was only the first of three complaints about NatWest that he submitted to the FOS last year for resolution. The first of the other two complaints involved the wayward transfer in branch of £1,850 to St Mungo's by court order, after the cashier manually changed Declan's surname from Heavey to Henry. This was another complaint not upheld by the FOS, notwithstanding that Declan received £30 compensation with a final decision letter before the error was resolved with St Mungo's.
The FOS's third investigation is ongoing and relates to the second time, on 7 October 2020, we discovered that NatWest had made an error with the spelling of Declan's surname (Haeavey). I made the discovery when I attempted to make a payment to him online:
20 March: No quick fix from the Financial Ombudsman again this year. We're still waiting to be made public this Ombudsman's decision about the non-payment by standing order of Declan's salary last year. Laptop interference continues unabated
The Central London County Court is based at the Royal Courts of Justice.
The following is the full content of paragraphs 3 and 4 under "Church and State" on this blog's sidebar that have been updated today.
3. This is Day 387 for us living under the threat to life of a 'no fault' eviction by Peabody Trust.[1] We live in a Mayor of London's Rough Sleepers Initiative (RSI) property. Peabody's appalling new terms of tenancy have forced us into an unstable weekly periodic tenancy that poses a threat to Declan's life and inhibits our ability to exercise our rights. Declan accumulated quite a history with the Housing Ombudsman Service before he received the Ombudsman's decision not to investigate a referral from Lyn Brown MP on jurisdictional grounds. The Ombudsman was asked to consider whether or not our tenancy has been renewed like for like; and whether, if not, it should be in light of the landlord having accused us of not signing a like-for-like agreement. The Equality and Human Rights Commission will not accept a referral of discrimination from Ms Brown, the Commission's helpline (EASS) having grossly distorted the complaint against Peabody. We no longer have pro se access to the courts (see next paragraph).
4. This eviction matter came before District Judge Ruth Fine at the Central London County Court on 30 June 2020, when both counsel for St Mungo's (the charity in effective control of our tenancy) and Declan presented their positions. Declan lost the case and was ordered to pay £1,850 in costs. A publishing colleague in America cleared these costs within 24 hours of my blog post about this hearing for strike out on a related issue that was the essence of the claim, i.e., that St Mungo's would take a phone call to confirm that we are clients of the Mayor of London's RSI programme. Within a week of the hearing, St Mungo's had agreed to take this phone call for us both, the Court having ruled that they were not obliged to do so despite our circumstances. This time we escaped bankruptcy (counsel for St Mungo's asked for £3,407.50 in costs), but consider that to seek pro se access to justice in the courts has become far too dangerous for us. Declan currently has before the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman the decision of the Information Commissioner that allows St Mungo's to continue processing coercive support plans without our knowledge or consent and that also poses a threat to his life.
30 June 2020: 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 14/05/21)[1]

14 May: Pixsy (day 185): I have found Declan's Motion to Dismiss to fight their threatened court action in an article titled "Defense Against the Dark Arts of Copyright Trolling". No sooner had we heard from them than they were named and shamed by Computer Weekly and it's a truly sickening read
Beware the use of "free" photos off the internet - they may not be as free as you think, thanks to automated image recognition tools and dubious use of Creative Commons licensing- as targets of one German photographer found out to their cost: https://t.co/64ryecBz1v

6 June: British Telecom: A record-breaking 18 internet cuts in the last two days, 16 of them today. What is Declan doing? Having broken into the San Francisco elite, he is now fully focused on AI and brain-computer interfaces (previous post)
From My Picks:
An American perspective: "I thought the UK was a civilized democracy!" In reference to the following blog post:
28 May: Eviction back to the streets a third time from a Mayor of London Rough Sleepers Initiative property is a massive assault on me. Not only am I likely to lose Declan to his health condition, but I am also likely to be left crippled following a torn meniscus that has had me using a crutch for months
Our list of 303 Honorary Associates includes 20 Nobel Prize laureates, 18 US National Medal laureates and 13 knighted professors notwithstanding the excessive targeting of these categories of emails in particular. (In April Declan had the honour of adding the 20th Nobel laureate to the list, having had an average of 85% of his emails blocked for over a week.)
